Crane hire in Singapore: prices and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to listings in Singapore, November 2026, a small lorry crane is listed from about S$500 a day, while large crawler cranes cost over S$10,000 a day. Used cranes for sale are listed at roughly S$90,000 to S$560,000. The quickest way to get a quote for your lift is to send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and operator rules

A search result says crane operators apply to be registered as Crane Operators. It lists a fee of S$20 and about 7 working days to process, and it also covers renewals. Ask the rental company whether its operator holds this registration before you agree on a lift.

Weather and timing

Singapore is tropical: hot and humid all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so there is no cold-season peak for lifting work. Heavy rain and strong wind can stop a lift, so agree a backup day in the rental term.

How hire is quoted and what it includes

Lorry cranes in local listings range from 15 to 100 tons, and boom reach is measured in metres, so give both the load and the reach you need. Ask whether the quote includes mobilisation and demobilisation, which means moving the crane to the site and back, and whether an operator and riggers are included. Rental is quoted per day in the listings above, so ask for a monthly rate if the job runs for weeks.

What to write in the request

Give the load to lift in tonnes, the boom reach or height in metres, and the lift duration. Add the site address in Singapore (for example Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio), the access route, the date you need the crane and whether you need riggers. Include the monthly rent you can afford if you are hiring for longer, so sellers can offer a lease term that fits.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the lift in your own words, and the AI asks for anything missing.
