Apples-to-apples matters: year, rated capacity, load chart, boom and jib configuration, hours and mileage, counterweights and hook blocks, inspection history, and transport requirements vary inside every row. Crane classes and load charts are not interchangeable; the overall span is context, not a valuation range for one crane.
What changes the deal
- Current documented inspections and service history Higher ask
- Jib, counterweights, blocks, and support package included Higher ask
- Mobilization, permits, assembly, or escorts required Higher delivered cost
- Missing load chart, records, or serial-matched components Stop and verify

About
Buying a crane, briefly.
- What should I define before choosing a crane?
- Start with the heaviest planned load at the actual working radius, required height and reach, pick path, setup footprint, ground conditions, duty cycle, and site access. Nominal tonnage by itself does not describe usable capacity at radius.
- What has to match in a used-crane comparison?
- Compare the serial-specific load chart, boom and jib arrangement, counterweight package, hook blocks, hours and carrier mileage, tires or undercarriage, control and safety systems, service history, and every component included in the advertised price.
- What inspection records should I request?
- Request current inspection documentation, maintenance and repair history, and records for modifications or major structural work, then use a qualified person for the required inspection. OSHA 1926.1412 describes construction-crane inspection triggers and intervals; records do not replace an inspection of the specific machine.
- What belongs in the delivered-cost estimate?
- Add transport or mobilization, route permits and escorts, assembly and disassembly, counterweight trucking, rigging, operator requirements, ground preparation, insurance, taxes, and any repairs needed before service.
