How this works
Answer the questions about your load, site and how long you need the crane. We match your answers to the crane family that usually suits that mix of weight, travel, access and reach. It is a pointer to start the conversation — a competent person still sizes the actual machine against a load chart.
General guidance only. This tool gives indicative results from the numbers you enter. It is not engineering advice, a compliance assessment or a substitute for a competent person, AS 2550 requirements or your crane manufacturer's documentation. Verify anything safety-critical with a qualified professional before acting on it.
