Why is it so hard to hire a crane truck for a small job?

The pain of business waste…why do you need to hire a 50 ton crane to do a 6 ton lift?  Why pay to reach the sky when you only need to reach over the fence?  Why do you need to pay for a whole day when you need it for a whole two hours?  

Need to pick it up, put it down or take it off and replace it?  Need some trade waste moved?  Why oh why is it so hard to get an economical solution to a small job?  You’re stuck investigating crane truck hire and they’re all either whopper crane trucks that are overkill for your job, or they’re DIY options and frankly, you just don’t have the skills.  How do you hire a crane truck with operator to get a quck job done without the stress of insurance and training?  

One north Brisbane plumbing company that uses their own crane truck for jobs like replacing rooftop hot water, removing and replacing water tanks and the like, has come up with a solution for Brisbane businesses.

For independent plumbers, roofers, sparkies and builders, buying a crane truck isn’t really in the budget.  The big guys all have one, but you’re stuck trying to be competitive but you have the cost of crane truck hire for a pretty good chunk of your jobs.  

“After growing this plumbing business for twenty years, I know that a crane truck is absolutely essential, some of the time.  It’s a big investment for a “some of the time tool” so we thought, well, we can offer the service to other tradies and help them get a let up – well, a tank up, or hot water system up…” said John Salmon.

This means that smaller Brisbane tradespeople can hire a compact crane truck, with a driver, for a quick ‘plonk it down” job, and still stay competitive on the quote.  The crane truck is small enough to navigate urban spaces, with enough reach and lift for just about all building materials and gear used in a domestic job – not too big, not too small, just right. 

And you have a qualified, licensed plumber on site, in a completely unbranded crane truck, for any compliance issues.  He comes packaged up with all the insurance and other paperwork and he’s got the experience to do the job quickly and most importantly, safely. 

Clever solutions to small business problems is the only way to get growing on budget.  This is one of those “out of the box” approaches that helps you get there.
