Crane hire firms lift what people can't: steel beams for extensions, roof trusses, hot tubs over houses, garden rooms, boats and machinery. Most jobs are booked by the hour or day with an operator, and many firms ask for payment or a deposit before the lift is booked. A payments app that makes booking payments and hire invoices simple can win crane hire firms, and every builder, homeowner and business that pays them sees your app.

Take payment when the lift is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay straight away, so the firm can confirm the crane, operator and date.

Get paid for extra time on the day
If a lift runs over, the firm can send a link for the extra hours before leaving site, instead of adding it to an invoice that waits weeks.
Grow through building trades
Crane hire firms work alongside builders, groundworkers and plant hire firms. When those businesses take payments through your app, each crane firm can bring more of them onto it.
