You can also search for type of crane, brand, or capacity only. Clicking ‘Search’ shows currently listed cranes complying with your search criteria. If you click a crane in the overview, provided details and photos (if any) will be displayed. On top of the page showing the details, a link is available in order to return directly to your search results.

No. We want the ‘Contact Owner’ routine to be as accessible as possible, so the crane owners get the highest response on their advertisements.
We are fully aware that this gives the opportunity to try to spam the owners. If this happens please report this to the OnlineCranes team and we will ban the spamming user and IP address from our website.

The page showing the crane details contains two buttons labeled ‘Contact owner’. If you click one of these buttons a contact form will be displayed. Here you can enter your name, e-mail address, a subject and your enquiry. All fields must be filled out.

Nothing. The crane owner may be busy, out of the office, the crane may be sold already or he is not interested in your enquiry… It’s up to the owner to respond to the incoming e-mail or not.

Two re-sized copies from the original are made. One for large display and one for small display. The text 'OnlineCranes.com' will be added in one of the corners of the copies. The copies are stored on our server for use in the website. Photo editing on the server may slightly affect the quality of the photo.

Yes. All public accessible information published on the internet can be copied, despite that we ask people not to do so in our User agreement.

To get data displayed on a visitors screen, this data must be downloaded to his computer first, and thus the data can be copied in multiple ways.
Measurements like disabling your right-mouse button will probably just annoy most visitors, while it's still pretty easy to copy the wanted data and/or photos.

The uploaded photos are marked with 'OnlineCranes.com'. So if people use copies elsewhere, the source is recognizable.

Depending on the current traffic on worldwide mail servers, it might take a few seconds up to several hours for the e-mail to arrive in your mailbox.

If the e-mail doesn't show up within 48 hours, probably something went wrong. The most possible causes are:
- The mail did arrive, but was caught in a spam filter
- There is an error in your e-mail address

To solve this problem, first make sure the e-mail was not caught in your spam filter. Ask your system administrator for assistance if you don't know how to do this.

If the e-mail was caught in your spam filter, mark the e-mail as 'no spam' and make sure that e-mails sent from 'onlinecranes.com' will pass your spam filter. If you don't know how to do this, ask your system administrator.

If you think the e-mail address you provided is incorrect, or you think something else went wrong, please contact the OnlineCranes team using the 'Contact' link from the navigation menu. Provide your name, username and e-mail address, describe the problem, and we will solve it.
