In the world of trades, especially on construction sites and in roofing, every minute counts. Materials must be moved at heights and heavy loads must be moved safely and quickly – ideally without putting strain on the employees' bones. This is where the trailer crane comes in: a compact, flexible, and extremely powerful piece of equipment that no modern construction site should be without.
But is the purchase worthwhile for every company? Not necessarily. The clever alternative: Rent a trailer crane instead of buying. In this article you will learn why renting a trailer crane not only saves time and money, but also Increases your team’s efficiency enormously. We'll also tell you how easy it is at Dach PRO in Troisdorf – uncomplicated, transparent, and reliable.
What is a trailer crane?
A trailer crane is a mobile construction crane that is mounted on a trailer and can be flexibly towed to the construction site by car or van (traction force 3.5t). It is particularly popular in roofing, carpentry, facade construction and solar installation, because it reaches great heights and yet can be set up and dismantled quickly.
3 convincing advantages of renting a trailer crane
1. Massive work relief for employees
Instead of laboriously lifting hundreds of roof tiles or heavy components onto the roof by hand or using a pulley, the trailer crane takes care of this work in minutes. This means:
- Less physical strain
- Further events
- More energy for what matters
Employees can concentrate on their specialist work instead of wasting time and energy on lugging things around. Especially in physically demanding jobs such as roofing, this means: healthier, happier and more productive teams.
2. Maximum efficiency and time savings
A trailer crane can transport loads of several hundred kilos precisely to great heights in a very short time. This not only saves muscle power, but also hours of working time per day. Projects are completed faster, idle times are reduced, and customers are happy about generous completion times.
This is a huge advantage, especially in times of a shortage of skilled workers: achieving more with fewer staff.
3. Cost transparency and flexibility
Owning your own trailer crane is expensive and involves ongoing costs: maintenance, repairs, storage, MOT and, if necessary, spare parts. If you only need a crane occasionally, the rental option is much cheaper and more flexible:
- You only pay when you really need the crane
- You don't have to worry about maintenance or insurance
- You always receive a technically flawless device
