MyCrane hits 1,000 customer mark in India

More than 1,000 customer and supplier sign-ups each in India have been achieved for the MyCrane online crane rental and sales platform.

India is one of its fastest growing and strategically important markets, the company said.

There are now more than 1,000 registered customers and 1,000 crane suppliers on the platform across the country. More than 100 paid orders have been completed, the company said.

The growth is linked to a growing number of civil infrastructure, energy sector and industrial projects across the vast country. India is the world’s most populous country, with around 1.47 billion people, having surpassed that of China in 2023.

MyCrane said its procurement tool is used by contractors and EPC contractors, including Adani Group, Birla Corp, KP Energy, Larsen & Toubro, Macawaber Beekay, Megha Engineering, NCC and Tata. Users working there but based outside India, include Linde, Technip, thyssenkrupp and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel.

By example

MyCrane gave an example of a 400 tonne capacity crawler crane rental, sourced locally via the platform, where the client saved more than 20 per cent on the procurement cost and reduced the cost of mobilisation.

Commenting on the Indian milestones, Andrei Geikalo, MyCrane founder and CEO, said, “India is one of the most active and fastest-growing crane markets in the world and these latest milestones demonstrate both the scale of demand and the strong adoption of digital solutions within the country’s construction and industrial sectors.

“Surpassing 1,000 customers and suppliers, and completing more than 100 paid orders, is a clear indication the platform is delivering real value – improving efficiency, increasing transparency and enabling faster project execution. We see significant further growth potential in India as the market continues to embrace digital procurement tools.”

MyCrane cited feedback from a user of the platform, Mandar Khatkhate, Senvion Wind Technology AGM–project management, “MyCrane supported us on our recent operation and maintenance (O&M) project at Koral, Osmanabad, Maharashtra, playing a crucial role in identifying a suitable crane supplier aligned with our specific project requirements. The co-ordination throughout the entire process was seamless and highly professional, and we look forward to continued collaboration with MyCrane for our future requirements.”

A recent introduction to India is MyCrane Trading, allowing customers to access crane sales, leasing and maintenance. Equipment is available from stock. The offer includes all terrain, rough terrain and crawler mobile cranes, plus tower cranes and a range of services, including inspection and engineering.
