The fleet

Which crane do you need?

It depends on the weight, how far it has to reach and how much room there is to set up. Here's the short version. We'll confirm it for your site.

Pick-and-carry

Lifts and drives with the load. Tight sites and quick moves.

Mobile crane

Set up on outriggers for bigger lifts and longer reach.

Crane truck

A truck with a crane on the back. Delivers and lifts in one trip.

Drawn examples.

Plan your lift

Four things we need to know.

Every lift starts with the same questions. Have rough answers ready and we can tell you which crane fits.

  1. WeightWhat you're lifting and roughly how heavy. A spec sheet or photo helps.
  2. DistanceHow far from where the crane can stand to where the load goes, and how high.
  3. AccessGates, driveways, overhead power lines, trees and parked cars.
  4. GroundSoft lawn, slopes, pits, pipes or tanks under where the crane sets up.

Wet or dry

With an operator, or without?

Wet hire

The crane comes with our operator, and a dogman or rigger when the lift needs one. The usual choice for most jobs.

Dry hire

The crane only, for businesses with their own qualified operators. We check what's needed before we agree to it.

If the weather turns. Wind and storms can make a lift unsafe. If conditions aren't right on the day, we'll call it early and rebook you at the first safe time.
