Crane rental in the Philippines

Updated 4 November 2026

Crane hire in the Philippines is quoted per job, and current sources show no published daily rate, because the price depends on tonnage, duration and site. Used tower cranes for sale are listed at about ₱1.6 million to ₱4.9 million, and a truck crane from about ₱782,000 (approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026). For a quote on your lift, create a request on BlaBlaPrice with the load and the site.

The price of a lift depends mainly on:

• payload, the weight of the load in tonnes, and the boom reach in metres
• how long the crane is needed, from one day up to a monthly rent
• the site address and access for the crane truck
• the date, and whether riggers are needed to attach the load

Operator training and certificates

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) runs skills assessment and certification programs, and its training regulations and skills standards are public. Private courses exist too: one crane lifting and rigging safety course is listed at ₱1,500 with fees quoted before VAT. Ask the operator for proof of training and certification before you book, and check whether the riggers are trained as well.

Wet season and site conditions

There is no winter in the Philippines, so cranes are needed all year. The climate is hot with a wet and a dry season, and rainy months soften the ground, which matters for outriggers and the truck's approach road. Ask the seller to check the ground and the access route before the day of the lift, and prefer a dry-season date if the site is on soft ground.

How cranes are hired in Manila and other cities

Rental fleets in the Philippines are large: one operator advertises truck cranes of 160 to 360 tonnes for hire. Give the city where the lift happens, which may be Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu City or Davao City, along with the date. For a longer project you can ask for a monthly rent, and the seller quotes for the period you state.

What to write in the request

State the payload in tonnes, the boom reach in metres and the duration in days or months. Give the site address, describe the access road, and say whether you need riggers. Sellers reply with price, terms and what the quote includes, and you compare them in the chat.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the lift in your own words in a chat, and the AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the Philippines, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to contact. Start with a request on BlaBlaPrice or see vehicle and heavy equipment hire.
