MYCRANE, the first global
platform for online crane rental, has been named Startup of the Year at the
Construction Technology Awards, held on May 1 in Dubai.
The annual awards celebrate
the most impactful digital transformation in the built environment across the
Middle East and Africa, with entries evaluated for innovation, traction,
scalability and benefit realisation.
MYCRANE received the award
in recognition of its success in modernising the crane rental industry,
delivering a platform that streamlines the procurement of lifting equipment and
improves outcomes for both customers and equipment providers. It acknowledges
the strength of the testimonials supplied by MYCRANE’s global users and
equipment suppliers.
“This award affirms our
commitment to introducing digital innovation in a sector that is now embracing
new, more efficient ways of working,” said Andrei Geikalo, founder and CEO of
MYCRANE. “By providing a smart, efficient and transparent way to source cranes
online, we are helping companies complete their projects faster, more
cost-effectively and with less environmental impact.”
Founded in 2021, MYCRANE is
headquartered in Dubai with regional operations in India, Saudi Arabia and the
USA. Since launch, the platform has attracted more than 1,700 registered crane
rental companies offering in excess of 14,000 cranes—giving customers access to
what is effectively the largest crane fleet in the world.
MYCRANE clients can easily submit details of their lifting requirements via the platform to receive personalised quotes from verified suppliers, avoiding the need for multiple manual enquiries. The company also operates an online Marketplace for buying and selling new and used lifting equipment.
MYCRANE’s success at the
2025 CTF Awards places the company firmly among the construction industry’s
most forward-thinking innovators. The event recognised a host of high-profile
names across its shortlist and winners' list, including NEOM, Nesma &
Partners, Saudi Binladin Group, El Seif Engineering Contracting Company, Dubai
Municipality, Trojan Construction, and AtkinsRéalis—highlighting the calibre of
companies MYCRANE is now proudly ranked alongside.
The CTF Startup of the Year
Award adds to a growing list of honours for MYCRANE, which was also recognised
earlier this year with the Global Platform for Innovative Online Crane Rental
prize at India’s EPC World Awards.
