Mycrane enters UAE, Oman markets with new franchisees
DUBAI, September 16, 2021
Mycrane has appointed new franchisees in four countries - UAE, Oman, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan -
thus expanding the footprint of the world’s first digital platform for the search and selection of cranes.
The appointments, confirmed during the recent Big 5 construction trade show in Dubai, mark the launch of Mycrane operations in some of the world's biggest markets, with the opening of its offices in Dubai, Muscat, Nur Sultan and Tashkent.
The global B2B platform simplifies the process of crane rental procurement, allowing users to submit details of their lifting requirements in order to receive personalised quotes from a range of registered crane providers.
Already operational in Russia, Mycrane has been developed by seasoned industry executive Andrei Geikalo, a former commercial director at heavy lift specialist Mammoet.
For the first time, customers of the platform can simply and quickly request a crawler, mobile or tower crane without having to rely on manual processes, such as calling suppliers or making multiple offline requests, said the statement from Mycrane.
The service, operated in countries around the world by a network of local franchisees supported by Mycrane’s head office team in Dubai, offers cranes with a capacity of between 6 and 750 tonnes, it stated.
Drawing on the management team’s experience in the industry, the innovative Mycrane platform has been carefully designed to ensure ease of use, and that the quotes generated are directly comparable. Registration is free for both users and equipment rental companies.
Welcoming his new partners, Geikalo said: "The confirmation of four franchisees so soon after our launch is a testament to the strength of the Mycrane concept."
"Our new partners share our passion for changing the way the crane rental business works, and we would now be happy to hear from other entrepreneurs who may be interested in operating Mycrane in their home country," he added.
Besides the lifting services search, Mycrane offers a number of other tools for the crane industry, including a Marketplace to advertise used equipment, rigging equipment, spare parts and auxiliaries, plus career vacancies.
Mycrane said the new portal allows users to stay up to date with the latest industry developments, while in-house support services such as engineering and legal consultancy are also available.
Support services, such as engineering for heavy lift projects, are offered on a truly independent basis, meaning clients are presented with a full range of solutions, service providers from the whole of the market and the most cost-effective solution, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
