What a 500 Ton Crane Hire Involves
The headline figure applies only at very short radius. What a 500 ton crane offers is capacity at distance and height: a telescopic boom of roughly 50 to 85 m, and luffing jibs that take hook heights well beyond 100 m. That is how a heavy module can be set into a congested plant from outside the unit.
The crane travels on its own axles, but its counterweight, up to around 165 tonnes on the largest models in this class, comes on a convoy of trucks, and rigging the crane typically takes most of a day. Road movement permits, a route check and an assembly area are all part of the plan.
Outrigger loads at this size need an engineered ground assessment and load-spreading mats under each pad. We agree the setup position, the exclusion zone and the wind limits with your engineers before the crane mobilizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a 500 ton crane in the UAE?+
Mobilization is a large share of the price: the counterweight convoy, assembly and dismantling, permits and the lift engineering, on top of the hire days. We quote after reviewing the lift details and surveying the site.
How long does it take to rig a 500 ton crane?+
Typically most of a day to fit the counterweight and any jib, and a similar time to dismantle. The lift plan schedules both, so the crane is ready when the load and your team are.
How far ahead should a 500 ton crane be booked?+
As early as possible, and usually weeks ahead. Send the lift details early so the site survey, lift study and road permits can run in parallel.
What information do you need to plan a 500 ton lift?+
The load weight and centre of gravity, its dimensions and lifting points, the lift radius and height, site drawings showing the setup area, ground information if available, and the site's HSE and permit requirements.
Do you mobilize 500 ton cranes to every emirate?+
Yes. We mobilize heavy cranes to sites across all seven emirates. The plan covers the route, the convoy and any movement permits from our yard to your site.
Planning a 500 Ton Lift?
Send the load data, site drawings and target date. We arrange the survey and an engineered lift plan for your approval.
