Frequently asked questions
What’s the main benefit of using a self erecting crane?
Self erecting cranes are quick to mobilise and set up, making them ideal for shorter-duration projects or sites with limited access or space. They don’t require large crews or mobile cranes for installation, which saves time and costs.
Can I rent or buy a self erecting crane through Falcon Cranes?
Yes. We offer both rental and sales options. Our team will work with you to determine whether hiring or buying is the best fit based on project duration, site constraints, and future needs.
Do these cranes still require a licensed operator?
Yes. All crane operations must be conducted by licensed professionals, and our self erecting cranes are typically operated via remote control, which we provide training and support for as needed. Our in-house operators are also available if required.
Are self erecting cranes suitable for high-rise developments?
No. These cranes are best suited for low- to mid-rise construction, typically up to 4–6 storeys. For taller buildings, we recommend one of our flat-top or hammerhead tower cranes.
What’s involved in setting up and relocating a self erecting crane?
Our team will manage the full setup, including site inspection, delivery, installation, and testing. These cranes can be relocated quickly and efficiently during a project if needed—particularly useful for sites with phased or multi-stage builds.
