How to determine what lifting equipment is best for your job

First you need to consider what you will need the equipment to do. If you will need the machine to carry and transport loads across the site, a crane or a forklift would be more appropriate for your project. Whereas if you need to reach heights, you should consider a crane or a scissor lift. Other factors you need to consider before deciding on what equipment you should hire includes the job environment, access to the site and the weight of what is to be lifted and if the machine will suit the task.
