The difference between franna crane dry hire and wet hire

For anyone from a construction company to a home project, deciding whether wet or dry hiring option for franna cranes best suits your project can be a bit challenging. Below are the benefits of both wet and dry hire for franna cranes.

What is franna crane wet hire?

When hiring a franna crane on wet hire, the machine, an experienced operator and all crane attachments required will be included in the total price. This hiring option can be considered an expensive cost as you have to consider the operator's labour, the franna crane hire cost, and the fuel. Wet hire for franna cranes can also be short- or long-term, depending on the wet hire agreement and project length. The wet hire contract also includes insurance for all parties involved for the period of time required.

What is franna crane dry hire?

In contrast to wet hire, hiring a franna crane on dry hire only includes the machine, not an operator or any attachments needed. Dry crane hire for franna cranes is a considerably cheaper option as there is only the cost of hiring the crane, without considering the labour costs of a crane operator. However, as these franna cranes can be challenging to operate, utilising dry hire may not be the correct solution for all projects. Dry hire for franna cranes is usually focused on long-term projects.

Benefits of franna crane wet hire

No additional costs

One major draw towards wet hire for franna cranes is that there are no additional costs once the price has been determined, as everything is included. This price includes the wet hire operator cost, attachment costs, machine costs and fuel charges. If anything happens to the crane during the project, the hiring company will be responsible for the damage.

Fully insured

A wet crane hire for frannas also includes full insurance, which dry hire does not. This means that in the event of an injury occurring to the operator, franna crane theft taking place or damage is inflicted on the crane, everything is insured.

Experienced crane operators

In conjunction with being fully insured, wet hire of a franna crane also includes qualified crane operators who understand how to utilise the crane for any project. Dry hire does not offer this, and if you either use the machine yourself or hire another experienced crane operator, either scenario may not be able to best utilise the crane.

Benefits of franna crane dry hire

Project familiarity

One benefit of using dry hire for a franna crane is that you can use your own employee (or yourself) to utilise the crane. This would be beneficial as, in either scenario, the person operating the crane already has a good understanding of the project required, which will increase work quality. However, if you used your own employee or you completed that project yourself, you or the employee would require an up-to-date license in order to use the franna crane.

Reduced starting cost

Another benefit to dry hire for franna cranes is that the starting cost is far less compared to wet hire. This is because there is no extra cost for an operator, only for the machine. However, if extra crane attachments or fuel is needed, that is up to your discretion.
