Crane Hire for Councils Across the UK
Councils across the UK are responsible for maintaining public spaces, infrastructure, and community property in good order. From maintaining parks, installing street furniture, to dealing with waste and recycling operations, the appropriate lifting equipment is vital.
That's why MV Commercial offers a wide range of HIAB, Palfinger, and Cormach-fitted crane trucks designed exclusively for council use across the UK.
Why Hire a Crane is Essential for Councils
Councils handle a vast array of lifting tasks—anything from shifting heavy signage and benches to helping large-scale infrastructure projects like highway works.
Choosing the right crane truck can help councils:
- Streamline operations and reduce manual handling risks
- Keep projects on time and within budget
- Improve safety for workers and the public in general
MV Commercial's range of HIAB, Palfinger, and Cormach crane trucks provides councils with the choice and flexibility to handle day-to-day and specialist lifting tasks.
HIAB Cranes for Use by Councils
HIAB X-HiDuo and X-HiPro cranes are a time-tested solution for councils looking for flexible and safe lifting solutions.
HIAB crane benefits for councils:
- Automatic Duty Control (ADC) and Overload Protection (OLP) aid secure lifting in dense working areas.
- Variable Stability Limit (VSL) and Load Stability System (LSS) offer greater control in busy urban areas or on uneven terrain.
- Remote control options (e.g., the Hiab CombiDrive3) allow operators to work at a safe distance from the load.
- HiConnect™ telematics system helps fleet managers to maximise maintenance and reduce downtime.
Palfinger Cranes for Public Sector Work
Palfinger cranes are well-liked by UK councils due to their advanced control systems and ease of use.
Palfinger council vehicles will benefit from:
- Scheduled monitoring of crane usage through the PALTRONIC system.
- PSC stability technology, ideally suited for compact spaces like town centers and city parks.
- Quick deployment and easy operation, making them just as convenient for highways and public space projects.
Cormach Cranes for Heavy Lift
Cormach cranes are for councils that need higher lifting capacity, particularly for large infrastructure works.
Ideally suited for:
- Installing or relocating heavy loads like bus shelters, monuments, or industrial-sized containers.
- Supporting civil engineering and streetworks teams with heavier, bulkier loads.
- Handing projects in tricky locations such as highways or rural areas with little access.
Crane Hire Applications for Councils
- Public space maintenance: Hoisting park benches, bins, trees, and statues.
- Street scene works: Fitting signs, lighting columns, bollards, and safety barriers.
