If you do not have a certified banksman or slingers available, we can provide personnel to ensure that the lifting operation is legally compliant.
Our crane business is our core activity in the field of lifting technology, and we are the market leaders in the region. The state-of-the-art design and unique parameters of our equipment allow us to carry out even the most complex lifting tasks.
Our mobile and truck-mounted cranes, which have a nominal capacity of 450 tonnes, are available nationwide for both indoor and outdoor work.
If you do not have a certified banksman or slingers available, we can provide personnel to ensure that the lifting operation is legally compliant.
In addition to the standard lashing equipment on our cranes, depending on your requirements we can also supply traverse and lifting beams.
We have a 30-tonne lifting platform: the machine to be moved into the building is lifted to the opening in the building wall by attaching the platform to the crane, where the machine can be easily moved into the building once the platform has been secured.
We also prepare lifting plans and instructions for our crane services. The load path is spatially represented in 3D using dedicated software (AutoCAD 2023, CRANIMAX - Crane Bee, Liebherr LICCON), in compliance with legislation and regulations (Lifting Equipment Safety Regulations: EBSZ), with maximum safety at work and the highest achievable level of quality.
In 2020 we purchased Enerpac gantry lifting equipment, which extended our range of services to include lifting up to 1,100 tonnes nominal capacity. With our 1,100 tonne and 400 tonne capacity gantry cranes, we can carry out any precision heavy machinery handling task in Hungary and Central and Eastern Europe.
We offer the following crane services to meet your needs:
At Megakrán, we pay special attention to health and safety. Our quality management and safety systems are audited annually by Apave Belgium SA (VCA) and QSCert, spol s.r.o (ISO).
In addition, our lifting and crane operations are covered by a HUF 700 million liability insurance policy to ensure maximum safety and protection for our customers.
We can provide professional on-site assistance on request: we will determine the exact category of crane or rental machine required for the job.
The fee for transporting the hoist to and from the place of performance, which, in addition to the transport costs, includes the one-off transport to the site of the crane, its operating personnel, the wood for supporting the stabilizer jacks and the required counterweight.

Both the quote and the contract contain unit prices. Your payment will be based on the certificate of completion.
For hourly rate contracts, the hours worked are calculated based on a certificate of completion issued after the work has been completed, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the contract. For the purposes of issuing a certificate of completion, each hour of work started counts as a full hour.
As a general business practice, we issue an invoice for the gross amount (including VAT), to the customer upon completion of the contract, in accordance with the payment terms set out in the contract. The customer has to pay the gross amount to us (the seller) within the payment period specified on the invoice. In the case of reverse charge taxation, the tax amount is determined by the customer, so the invoice is issued net of VAT. In this case, the customer declares the tax (in accordance with the relevant legislation). The rules for FADs are set out in Section 142 of the VAT Code and their application is not optional. Reverse charges apply if the conditions set out in Section 142 of the VAT Code are met (e.g. subject to planning permission or an official procedure).
According to our internal company rules, new clients must pay us in advance by bank transfer for their first three orders (both for rented machines and crane services). For subsequent orders, customers can pay us by bank transfer with eight-day payment terms.
