In the midst of a heavy-duty construction project, it’s likely you may need to rent a crane to handle the heavy lifting. After renting a crane, it’s important to know about the return process. At Astro Crane, we strive to make the entire rental process—from booking to return—as seamless and stress-free as possible. Let’s take a look at what you should do after you’re done with your crane rental.

Preparing the Crane for Return

Before you return your crane rental, it’s important to ensure that the equipment is in good condition. A little preparation goes a long way in making sure you avoid any additional charges or complications.

First, make sure to clean the crane thoroughly. Dirt, debris, or any residue from the job site should be removed before the equipment is returned. A clean crane not only helps prevent damage during transportation but also reflects well on your business, showing that you take care of the equipment you use. If the crane is particularly dirty after use, consider power washing it to remove stubborn grime.

Inspect for Damage

Next, be sure to check the crane for damage. Look for any signs of wear and tear, damage, or malfunction. Look at the boom, hooks, and lifting cables for any issues. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, document it immediately.

Gather Documentation

Before the return, gather all the rental paperwork, including the original contract, inspection reports, and any other relevant documentation. This will help save you time. Astro Crane offers flexible options for returning your rental. You can choose to either have the crane picked up by our team or deliver it back to our facility, depending on what is more convenient for you.

Wrapping Up Your Crane Rental Experience

Returning a crane rental doesn’t have to be a hassle. By following these steps, you can ensure that the process is smooth and straightforward.
