Providing a suitable, hard standing surface for the crane is the responsibility of the hirer. Depending on the crane hired, you may be required to confirm the Ground Bearing Capacity in advance. If the ground is incapable of meeting the satisfactory loading capacity, we can supply oversize steel support plates to help reduce loading. Utilising these plates will be dependent on whether there is sufficient space available to support their use for the job. The supply of these steel plates would be at an additional cost to you.
With that said, the majority of our cranes are supplied with ground support and the utilisation of steel support mats is a standard practice for cranes in excess of 80t.
