Mobile Crane Hire
We offer mobile cranes ranging from 8 tons to 450 tons, available for both short-term lifts and long-term contracts. Regularly seen on large construction and industrial projects where mobility and reach are key factors. Whether it’s erecting steel structures, lifting precast concrete slabs, or handling heavy machinery, our mobile crane division can be on-site quickly and operate safely under challenging conditions.
Crane Truck Hire
Our crane truck fleet ranges from 8-ton to 40-ton capacity with cab-mounted and rear-mounted configurations available. Our fleet of specialist truck mounted cranes of up to 80 Ton/m are ready to deploy at a moments notice when a heavy lift is required and timing is critical. These vehicles are perfect for the transport and loading of machinery, containers, steel, cable drums and other heavy materials. They provide the advantage of both lifting and transport in a single solution, saving you time, cost, and coordination between multiple service providers.
Mini Spider Crane & Access equipment Hire
For confined spaces or delicate installation projects, our mini spider cranes (3-ton and 8-ton capacity) offer a unique advantage. Mounted on rubber tracks, they can easily access restricted indoor areas such as shopping centres, office complexes, and high-rise buildings. Despite their compact size, spider cranes provide impressive lifting capabilities, making them a favourite for signage installations, glass fitting, and HVAC unit placement in tight environments. Our fleet of cherry pickers include both electric and diesel versions capable of lifting personnel and material like solar panels as high as 42m.
