Construction can be a tricky business. People want things done now, done yesterday, with maximum speed and minimum disruption. They want the best building they can get but they don't want to have their route home closed for weeks while the building is being built. They want the top stuff, the ultimate money can buy, but they don't like spending money to get it. And they want to know why they're being charged for that whacking great crane that seems to be sitting around all day doing nothing. With crane hire, at least, that's one complaint they can't make.
Hiring cranes of all types is frankly the only way to fly, if one is a building contractor. Why spend days messing around with a huge, unwieldy and really rather dangerous static crane (which takes forever to assemble and is extremely hairy while so doing), when one could simply hire a mobile crane to come in and do lifts as required? There's really no answer to that question that doesn't sound daft. Why indeed? Getting in a mobile crane for the days on which lifts are needed cuts down on build time (one doesn't have to take three days off to build a crane, if one's crane hire company is just going to drive a mobile unit in on a specified day and get everything done) and expense (one doesn't have to pay daily for a static crane that isn't being used). Hiring mobile cranes also frees up acres of site space - space that would otherwise have been choked by the makings and foundations of a static lifting gear.
That's not the only space saved by hiring cranes. If one hires mobile cranes, one can work in situations that simply couldn't have been managed, while using the standard static arrangement. Mobile cranes - and, therefore, mobile crane hire - let builders work in narrow streets, in awkward areas and in previously impossible to get to sites. The lifting gear on a mobile crane is pretty much as good as the boom arm on a static - but the vehicle it's attached to can get practically anywhere. Modern mobile cranes, after all, are mounted on a bunch of movable axles - so they can turn from anywhere, get in anywhere, and manoeuvre anywhere once they are in.
Also: if a company chooses to go down the road of crane hire, they don't need to worry about maintenance, inspection, MOT - all of the costly stuff that comes along with owning a crane. The hire company covers all that stuff - which means anyone who has hired a crane knows it will be in tip top condition when it's delivered. It's really the same thing as hiring a car, only on a much grander scale. Why risk driving an old banger the length of the country, paying a fortune in fuel and garage bills, when a hire car could do the same journey for less and in much greater comfort? Crane hire is, quite simply, the only logical way to build. No wonder the business is booming.
