Buying a Used Crane Successfully
There is a degree of skill required when buying a used crane. They are important and potentially highly dangerous pieces of equipment that need to be purchased carefully. You need to make sure the crane is going to fulfil your needs as a business, as well as making sure it is safe, usable and in good working order. Otherwise, you could end up with a very dangerous situation on your hands.
The most important thing to do is to make sure the crane has a full inspection history. Before you use it, get it inspected yourself as well (or ask for an inspection beforehand as one of your conditions of sale). This shows that everything is in good working order.
You should also make sure the crane is going to meet your needs. Choose a model like a jib crane if you are worried that you might be short of space.
