UpRate

Mobile crane hire software in Wales

UpRate helps mobile crane hire company owners and hire desk managers keep the customer, contract, crane and operator allocation connected. Review the agreed job, amend the assignment when arrangements change and keep timesheets with the work. It gives the office a shared booking record without replacing lift planning or site decisions.

Start with the agreed hire

Use the customer and hire contract as the shared reference for the site, dates and work, rather than passing disconnected notes between desks.

Book the crane and crew

Allocate assets and labour to assignments on the schedule. Keep the machine and the people doing the work visible together.

Keep amendments connected

Update the assignment when arrangements change and collect timesheets against the work. Review the revised schedule before confirming the office handoff.

A Cardiff highway crane assignment

Illustrative workflow: A Cardiff highway crane job needs a revised assignment after the operator confirms access.

  1. Confirm the agreed hire

    Review the customer’s hire contract and the site details that identify the actual operation.

  2. Review the allocation

    Once external highway arrangements are settled, allocate the crane and labour to the confirmed working period.

  3. Keep the work connected

    If access changes, amend the booking and review the affected schedule before collecting the work record.

A practical check for Wales

For a Cardiff highway operation, the confirmed access arrangement should drive the booking, not the other way round. Cardiff publishes crane-licence guidance covering site and traffic-management considerations. A trunk-road movement can involve a separate process, such as the South Wales agent’s guidance; it does not replace the local crane arrangements. Ask who is responsible for the licence, whether the setup and departure fit the approved window, and which contact will tell the desk if that changes. Then amend the crane and labour assignment together. UpRate does not supply a traffic-management plan, arrange permission, design a lift or validate an operator’s competence. Cardiff’s process is not a single licence system for all Wales.

Compare packages and capacity

Questions before you start.

Does UpRate design or approve lifts?

No. Lift planning, competent-person decisions, equipment checks and site permissions remain outside this booking workflow. UpRate organises customer, contract and allocation records; it is not a lift-design or compliance approval service.

Which package includes crane and operator scheduling?

Standard includes Sales Manager and Resource Manager, with asset and labour scheduling and timesheets. Professional adds Invoice Manager. Both plant and people count towards the selected resource allowance.

Will a Cardiff crane booking include the licence?

No. The responsible operator must arrange applicable permission externally. UpRate organises the customer, contract and resource allocation; it does not issue a crane licence or approve a lift.
