FLEETfile | Blog

Some days ago we have started a new feature on FLEETfile.com. This feature gives you the opportunity to publish news, reviews, press releases and information about crane hire companies the easy way. All you need is a free-of-charge basic-account.

This means publishing news the easy way: Click into the detailed view of the crane hire company you want to inform about. Click on the flag “News, Reviews & Information”. When you are logged in to your basic-account you will find a simple form for writing your news. When you have finished writing click on “publish now”.

Now your news automatically appear in the detailed view for the crane hire company as well as in the news-overview. It’s as simple as that.

Start now to publish easy, quick and up to date information and news about “your” crane hire company.

Today we have decided about the next steps:

First we will add another subpage to the address-sheets of the crane-hire companies. This will show the companies location directly in Google-Maps. So you can easily and directly navigate from your own location to the companies yard. This will speed up your search for the nearest cranehire company a lot.*

Additionally we will change the forwarding of the PDF-specifications for the mobile cranes. The specs will not be sent by email any longer but will be available directly for download. This step now is necessary due to the high amount of email-requests we receive every day and we are no longer able to handle these in time.

Both improvements will probably be available this very month.

A little bit more than one year FLEETfile.com has been online before we now have published a relaunch of the site in a new design and with many new features. As known before you still find specifications for more than 500 mobile cranes from all manufacturers, types and years of built. Based on these data we have now added load capacities for most of the cranes. With this it’s possible now to classify a single crane or compare the capacity of divers cranes easily to each other.

The biggest novelty in the new Fleetfile is the listing of approximately 4000 crane hire addresses online. Many of the customers of our “International Crane Rentals Directory” have been asking for the possibility to gain online-access to our crane hire addresses. Now we have realized it. With the quick and easy to manage registration of a basic-account you can activate an included e-mail-form to send your request for a crane or information to nearly all of the listed crane hire companies all over the world. With the premium-account you get unlimited access to all address details including phone- and fax number, website, as well as information about the capabilities of the company.

Now that we have mobile crane specifications on the one hand and crane hire addresses on the other hand it was obvious to connect both items by listing the cranes a certain company owns as well as listing the companies who own a certain crane. This means you find comprehensive information about who owns which crane.

Further new features are planned for the near future or are already in preparation. Also we are filling the new Fleetfile.com continuously with new and updated data. In case you have any kind of proposal regarding the improvement of fleetfile.com or you have any data and information to include, we would be happy to hear from you. Please feel free to share your suggestions in order to improve FLEETfile.com for your own benefit.
