Franna cranes are named after their original manufacturer. These are pick-and-carry type cranes that can lift loads and carry them directly to their destination. They are not intended to carry or lift some of the larger loads, but they are more versatile than larger mobile cranes. Frannas are road-safe, making them more useful for load transport.

Slew cranes are larger cranes and have more mobility options. They have a rotating mechanism at the base that allows loads to be spun around after they’ve been lifted. Slew cranes are useful for moving heavy loads around on-site, either for transport or for placement. Non-slewing cranes do not have the same fully rotational base but can lift the same load sizes. With a slew crane, you can’t carry the load directly to the destination, but you can lift larger loads than a Franna.

Yes. Crane operators must have a high-risk work license and training in how to operate the specific type of crane being used. People without these qualifications cannot legally operate a crane in Queensland. With our crane hire service, we supply a crane operator & crew to work on your project until completion. If you have a licensed crane operator & riggers available, dry hire agreements can be negotiated upon request.

Firstly, we need specific details such as the weight and dimensions of the load, the conditions of your site, the area available for lifting, the height the load needs to reach, and other necessary details. From there, we will supply a suitable crane to safely complete the job. Alternatively, we can perform a site inspection where we come to your location. From our inspection, we will allocate a crane.

We provide all kinds of heavy machinery transport, load transport and industrial transport. Our diverse fleet of trucks is capable of carrying large and small loads of all kinds, including generators, booms knuckles and more.

When traffic management is necessary for crane movements or other transport, we can help you arrange it.
