Cranes & Lifting Equipment procurement guide
Lifting equipment is specified against load, radius and lift height, with foundation and site constraints confirmed before selection. Machinery should be selected from the duty, material or process, required output and operating environment—not from the product name alone.
Duty, output and operating context
The listed applications are Structural steel and precast erection, High-rise construction, Plant installation and maintenance lifts and Materials handling on site. Describe the primary duty, feed or load, operating hours, site conditions and upstream/downstream equipment so capacity is assessed in context.
Configuration and acceptance
Compare configurations against Maximum load and lift radius, Required hook height, Site footprint and foundation constraints, Duration of use on site and Power supply and erection requirements. Ask the proposed manufacturer to document the selected model, performance basis, included controls and accessories, and the inspection or acceptance tests required for that project.
Delivery, commissioning and lifecycle support
Confirm utilities, voltage/frequency or fuel where relevant, packed dimensions and weights, foundations, lifting and site access, installation, commissioning, operator handover, initial wear parts, recommended spares and maintenance responsibilities.
Information to include in your quotation request
Send the material/process and duty, Maximum load and lift radius, Required hook height, Site footprint and foundation constraints, Duration of use on site and Power supply and erection requirements, target output, operating hours, utilities, site and environmental conditions, quantity, destination, installation/commissioning scope and support needs.
