As a buyer or business owner, you’re always looking for the best solution to optimize your project budget. When you are requesting a quote for an overhead crane, you know this can be a big expense, sometimes even a capital expense, especially when you need to install a girder. The next time you need to install a crane, consider purchasing a crane kit separately from the girder. Find out how an overhead crane kit can help you optimize your budget and you can get the crane components you trust.
You can use your preferred girder vendor or geographically convenient vendor to help save on freight cost.
Every business owner or buyer has his trusted vendors. These are the vendors that you can count on to help you out when you’re in a pinch, the ones who are so reliable you don’t have to worry about them, or they are just great to work with. By design, overhead crane girders are big and bulky, and not the most shipping friendly thing you’ll ever put on a truck. This makes the freight a major concern as you consider RFQs for an overhead crane.
If you need to purchase a girder for your crane project, you may have a preferred vendor, but most importantly, you want to keep your freight costs as low as possible. By choosing a vendor in your geographic area, this can dramatically cut down the freight cost to get the girder to the project site. When your project is already pushing the boundaries of the budget, this can be an area to make up some dollars.
Get your trusted brand of crane components and help meet your project budget.
Crane kits include the components that attach to the girder. You can choose your trusted component brand for your next project.
When you purchase a crane kit without a girder, you are no longer tied to finding the vendor who can provide both. By purchasing the crane components and girder separately, it can optimize your budget when it comes to the bidding process. By evaluating a few girder manufacturers in close proximity to the project, you have the choice of who fits your budget and who you trust.
By purchasing a crane components kit without the girder, you are managing the crane project yourself. When you manage a crane project, you are taking on the project management and purchasing. This means you will purchase the steel that will be delivered to your local girder builder. You will work with the girder builder to manage your timeline for delivery. In tandem, you will be purchasing the crane components to deliver to the project site on the installation date. Taking on this work allows you to have more control over your costs. If you don’t want to take on all the extra work, there are always general contractors and dealers who can help you plan out your next project.
