FAQs

How accurate is this crane selection tool?

We’ve built this tool using industry-standard data and guidelines for crane capacities and operational limits. While it’s highly accurate for general planning, always consult with a certified crane operator or engineer for your specific site conditions. Factors like wind speed or ground stability can affect the final choice, and safety should always come first.

Can this tool help with any type of load or project?

Yes, it’s designed for a wide range of lifting needs, from small mobile cranes for tight spaces to tower cranes for massive construction projects. Just input your load weight, height, and radius, and it’ll suggest options that fit. If your project has unique constraints, feel free to use the results as a starting point and double-check with a professional.

No worries! The tool provides multiple options where possible, so you’ve got alternatives to consider. If none of the suggested cranes are available, you can adjust your inputs slightly—like reducing the radius—or reach out to a local equipment supplier for similar models with comparable specs. We also include safety tips to guide you through any adjustments.
