Crane hire in Pakistan

Updated 4 November 2026

The sources we found give no daily or monthly hire rates for cranes in Pakistan, so a hire price is quoted per job once the lift is described. A used 2021 mobile crane is listed for sale at about Rs 15,300,000 to Rs 15,500,000; that is a purchase price for comparison, not a hire rate. To get a current price for your lift, describe it on BlaBlaPrice.

Prices are quoted per job and depend on:

• the load to lift (payload) and the boom reach in metres
• how long the crane is needed, in days or months, and the monthly rent for a longer contract
• the site address and access, such as narrow streets or a ramp
• whether riggers are needed for the load
• the date, since the summer heat changes the working hours

Operator certificates and rules to check

Crane work needs a trained operator. The training listings we found describe a mobile crane operator course of about three months, and a free course is offered under a national training scheme. Some courses ask for at least 18 years of age and a high school diploma, while others have no entry requirements. Ask the rental company to show that the operator is trained for the type of crane and holds a crane safety certificate, since some courses teach rigging hazards.

When the crane is needed

Summers are very hot from May to September, which makes long daytime lifts hard for crews and riggers. Plan heavy lifts for the early morning or late afternoon in those months. From November to March the weather is mild, which makes full working days easier, so these are the easiest months to book a long job.

How cranes are hired in Pakistan

A crane is hired for a site address in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Faisalabad, and it has to travel to the site, so ask whether transport is included. Capacity is given in tonnes and boom reach in metres, and loading-crane listings state capacity in tonne-metres, so check which figure the company quotes. Ask whether the price includes the operator, fuel and riggers.

What to put in your request

Give the load to lift in tonnes, the boom reach in metres, the number of days or months, the site address, the access, the date and whether riggers are needed. If it is a longer contract, add the monthly rent you expect. These details let a company quote a price for your lift instead of a general figure.

Requests on BlaBlaPrice are free for buyers. Describe the lift in your own words in the chat, and the AI asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Pakistan. Crane companies registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
