Hi-rail cranes are an essential addition to a job site where heavy lifting is required on, for, or near a railway line. On rail works including railway construction, railway renovation, re-railing, and railway maintenance, hi-rail cranes can transport machinery, materials, and workers to and from a tight-access job site, or around a job site where machinery, materials, and workers would not be able to reach without lifting equipment.

Hi-Range Crane Forks offers a wide range of well-built and well-maintained hi-rail cranes for hire. Hiring hi-rail cranes have proven a cost-effective solution to railway work when clients do not have hi-rail cranes of their own. Where buying a hi-rail crane risks forking out cash for a machine that businesses might not use enough to justify the purchase, hiring a hi-rail crane ensures you pay for what you use, hire the right crane according to the hire company’s advice, and get full access to wet hire options.

Hi-rail cranes are a type of mobile crane, which offers benefits over static cranes including power, compactness, ease of setting up and use safety, and reduced pollution. A quality mobile crane gets the job done easily, quickly, and safely, even in tight-access areas.

Hiring hi-rail cranes over traditional mobile cranes is a matter of even more access. Hi-rail equipment has the tyres for traditional road use, as well as rail-specialised wheels to operate where there is no road nearby - such as on a mine railroad - or where there is no space by the railway. Learn more about how hi-rail equipment works here. The versatility of places where hi-rail cranes can be used makes them a no-brainer hire over traditional mobile cranes when working on rail projects.
