Sell Your Cranes

Cranes are the heavy lifters of construction and industry—powerful machines designed to move heavy materials, equipment, and structural components on construction, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Using hoist systems, cables, hydraulic mechanisms, and rotating booms, they lift and position loads impossible to move safely by hand.

Types include mobile cranes, tower cranes, hydraulic cranes, and loading cranes—each designed for different lifting requirements and site conditions. These machines handle steel beams, construction materials, shipping containers, and heavy machinery daily.

What makes cranes different from other construction equipment is their lifting capacity, height reach, and precision control, enabling safe movement of heavy loads across large sites. Modern cranes feature advanced safety systems, load monitoring technology, and stabilization features that improve operational safety and efficiency.

Commonly used in construction, logistics, infrastructure development, and industrial operations, cranes play a crucial role in modern building projects—making the impossible possible when it comes to moving heavy materials.

Whether you have one machine or an entire fleet to dispose of, Plant Machinery Trading offers a fast, hassle-free route to sale. We purchase Cranes across all ages, conditions and hours — from well-maintained machines with full service history to end-of-life equipment ready for disposal. Our team handles everything from initial valuation through to UK-wide collection, so you can convert your asset into cash with minimal effort.

We buy all types of cranes regardless of age, hours, or condition. Whether your machine is in excellent working order, showing signs of wear, or requires repair, we will make you an offer. We also purchase cranes on finance — our team can help arrange settlement with the finance company as part of the sale process. We work with sole traders, contractors, plant hire companies, and large fleet operators across the UK.

The key factors that influence resale value include age and year of manufacture, total operating hours, service history and maintenance records, overall condition (bodywork, mechanicals, tyres/tracks), the manufacturer and model, and any attachments or accessories included. Machines from popular brands with documented service histories typically achieve the strongest prices. Even if your cranes have high hours or require some work, we will still make you a fair offer.
