When it comes to crane rentals and crane services, especially in the areas we serve, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse fleet to meet the needs of different industries and projects. Understanding the type of crane you need is crucial for the success of your job. Below are the various types of cranes we offer.

• Mobile crane rental: This is ideal for projects that require versatility and quick mobility. Our mobile cranes can easily navigate through tight spaces and rough terrain, making them perfect for construction sites and more.

• Rough Terrain crane rental: These are specifically designed to operate on rough and uneven surfaces. These cranes are ideal for outdoor projects in rugged conditions.
• Carry Deck crane rental: When you need to maneuver in tight spaces and lift materials, a carry deck crane is a versatile and compact solution.
• Crane rental only: This option involves renting out the crane equipment without an operator. It's tailored for clients who have certified crane operators and wish to manage the crane operations with their own team. We also rent out specialized rigging, if needed.

By understanding your project's specific needs, crane companies can better recommend the most suitable type of crane for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to our experienced team today to discuss your crane rental requirements.

When you're looking for crane companies, understanding the possible crane rental cost you may face is vital for project planning and budgeting. The pricing can vary depending on several factors, but here's a general breakdown to give you an idea of what to expect.

• Type of crane: The specific type of crane you choose will greatly influence the cost. For example, you're likely to see a lower mobile crane rental price than a tower crane rental price since tower cranes are typically used for larger, longer-term projects.
• Duration of rental: Short-term rentals may have higher daily rates compared to longer-term rentals. Discuss your project timeline with us to find the most cost-effective rental period.
• Operator costs: Some of our cranes come with the option of a certified operator. The cost of labor can add to your total rental bill but ensures safety and efficiency.
• Transport and setup fees: Transporting the crane to and from your site may incur additional charges. Setup fees can also vary depending on the complexity of the project.
• Additional equipment: Sometimes, your project may require supplementary equipment like rigging materials or safety gear, which will add to the total cost.

At Borsheim, we know that selecting the right crane for your project is crucial. In line with our mission to "Lift Your Expectations," we offer a variety of cranes to suit different needs, but what's the difference between a mobile crane and a tower crane? Let's break it down.

• Mobility

1. Mobile crane: As the name suggests, mobile cranes are designed for easy transportation and quick setup. They're ideal for projects that require moving the crane around the job site.
2. Tower crane: This is stationary and best for projects that require a longer setup time but offer high lifting capacity and height. Once it's up, it's not going anywhere fast.

• Lifting capacity

1. Mobile crane: This generally offers lower lifting capacities compared to tower cranes but provides the advantage of versatility and rapid deployment.
2. Tower crane: This is built for heavy-duty lifting. With greater stability, tower cranes can lift heavy loads to significant heights.

• Height and reach

1. Mobile crane: This is generally limited in height and reach compared to tower cranes but can be easily maneuvered in confined spaces.
2. Tower crane: This offers superior height and reach capabilities, making it ideal for tall building constructions or where high vertical lifts are needed.

• Setup time

1. Mobile crane: This is quick to set up and dismantle, making it perfect for shorter projects or those with tight schedules.
2. Tower crane: This requires more time for assembly and disassembly, so it's best suited for long-term projects.

• Terrain

1. Mobile crane: This is versatile and can adapt to various terrains, including rough and uneven surfaces.
2. Tower crane: This requires a stable foundation, limiting its adaptability to varying terrain conditions.

• Operator position

1. Mobile crane: The operator is located within the crane and moves with it.
2. Tower crane: The operator is stationed in a cabin on the crane, with an overview of the site.

• Cost

1. Mobile crane: Generally, this is less expensive in terms of both rental and operation.
2. Tower crane: This is usually more costly due to its larger size, greater lifting capacity, and longer setup time.

Understanding the nuances between a mobile crane and a tower crane can make all the difference when you're working with crane companies.
