Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
Overview
Our compact, workshop-grade Floor Crane is built for lifting engines, plant attachments, doors, concrete lintels and other heavy components safely on site or in the yard. Folding legs and an adjustable boom make it quick to set up and easy to move between jobs — available for hire now from our Breckland depot.
What this machine does
The floor crane is a mobile hydraulic hoist with an adjustable telescopic boom and castored base. It provides a stable, portable lifting solution where a forklift or crane would be impractical. It’s ideal for garages, small civils tasks, refurbishment work and landscaping operations where controlled, reliable lifting is required.
Key uses and jobs
- Lifting/removing engines and heavy components for mechanics and vehicle workshops
- Positioning plant attachments, compressors and machinery in tight sheds or trailers
- Placing lintels, beams and pre-cast elements in refurbishment or small build projects
- Assisting groundworks and landscaping when handling awkward heavy items
Key specifications & features
- Telescopic boom with adjustable reach for precise placement
- Hydraulic hand pump for smooth lifting and controlled lowering
- Folding legs to save space in transit and storage
- Lockable castors for safe positioning on site
- Heavy-duty lifting hook and safety latch; compatible with rated slings and chains
- Robust steel construction for frequent site use
Why hire rather than buy
For most trades and self-build projects a floor crane is a job-specific tool you only need occasionally. Hiring removes storage, servicing and depreciation headaches while giving you access to a fully maintained, tested unit when you need it. We deliver across a 20-mile radius of Attleborough and Wymondham and offer free collection if you prefer to pick up — hire gives you flexibility without the long-term cost.
Operator & safety notes
- Only use rated slings, chains and lifting gear; never exceed the crane’s load rating.
- Always set the crane on firm, level ground and lock castors before lifting.
- Keep all personnel clear of the load path and never stand under a suspended load.
- Check the boom, pump and safety latch before use. Report any faults to us immediately.
- If you need assistance on site, ask us about delivery with an operator or check our related Floor Crane hire options.
