A new crane rental disruptor

A new digital platform ‘Mycrane’ - has been launched to “disrupt and simplify the process of crane rental procurement.”
Mycrane will allow users to submit details of their lifting requirements in order to receive personalised quotes from a range of registered crane providers. In addition to the lifting services search, the platform will offer a number of other tools, including a Marketplace and support services such as engineering and legal consultancy.

The site has been developed by Andrei Geikalo, following a 12 year stint with Mammoet Russia, initially as an engineer and most recently as commercial director and more recently a short spell as director general of KMS-Transtroy.

“Mycrane was born out of the desire to change the existing outdated and inconvenient methods of procuring crane services, and to make life easier for those who require lifting services,” said Geikalo. “At present, crane rental is a manual, old fashioned process that takes far too much time. In launching the service, we have combined the latest digital technology with our long industry experience. I have personally been involved in countless heavy cargo and lifting projects, so I know only too well how useful our service will prove to be."

“There are no more phone calls or unclear quotations to decipher - just easy to understand quotes delivered direct to your inbox. And when you need to change your quote, simply amend your online request at the Mycrane website and our equipment providers will be back in touch.”
Mycrane DMCC is now based in Dubai, and plans to operate on a franchise model, it is already operational in Russia and will soon be launched in key international markets including the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore.

As well as a lifting services search, there are plans to introduce an online Marketplace to advertise used equipment, rigging equipment, spare parts and auxiliaries and career vacancies, as well as a news portal.
