Operator and inspection rules
Hong Kong's Code of Practice for the safe use of mobile cranes covers selection, safe use and precautions when a crane works inside a workplace. Operators must be at least 18 years old with a valid training certificate, and construction crane operators must pass a certification test. Crane lorries are among the commercial vehicles that must undergo vehicle examination, so ask any seller for the latest examination record and for proof that the crane has been tested by a registered professional engineer.
Season and site timing
Summers run from June to August and are hot, while winter runs from December to February, so November is a sensible time to book before the cooler months. Ask for lifts in the early morning on busy streets, when the lorry is easier to position. Give the seller the site address, the working radius and the lift height in metres, because a 17.5 m boom and a 5 m boom are priced very differently.
Delivery and how it is quoted
Crane trucks travel between Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun, so name your city and the access route in the request. Quote lifting capacity in tonnes and boom length in metres, and ask whether the price includes the operator, transport and any permits. For used machines, ask for the year, hours and the date of the last inspection.
What to write in the request
Include the machine type, whether you buy or rent, the load in tonnes, the boom length and your city. For a purchase add the year, condition and budget; for a rental add the lease term. Exact details mean fewer questions and quicker, comparable offers.
On BlaBlaPrice you describe the lift in your own words and can add a photo of the site. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details such as the load and the boom length, and then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their own price and terms, while your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact. You can also send the request link to crane firms you already know. Start with heavy equipment or create a request on the home page.
