A truck-mounted crane carries the load and lifts it, so one machine does the whole job. We size the truck to the lift rather than sending whatever is free — that means a compact rig when the street is narrow and the block is tight, and a larger, longer-reach truck when the load is heavy or has to travel a long way from where we can park.
Small crane trucks for tight blocks and suburban streets
Narrow driveways, cul-de-sacs, inner-city streets and small infill blocks suit a smaller crane truck. It sets up in less space, works comfortably between neighbouring houses and still lifts the loads most residential and light commercial jobs involve.
Larger rigs for heavy, long-reach lifts
When you're placing a container at the back of an acreage block, lifting structural steel to an upper level, or setting a pool shell over a house, reach matters as much as weight. Our larger trucks give us the boom to land the load where the crew is working instead of as close as we can get.
How we size the right truck for your lift
Three things decide it: the weight of the heaviest item, the distance from where the truck can legally and safely set up to where the load must land, and the obstacles in between — fences, power lines, trees, soft ground, scaffolding. Send a couple of photos of the access with those details and we'll confirm the right truck and a fixed price.
Common truck-mounted crane jobs
Shipping container delivery and placement, building materials onto active sites, machinery and plant relocation, water tanks and pump sheds, landscaping supplies over the fence, and pool and spa lifts. If you're not sure your job suits a crane truck, call us and we'll tell you straight.

ViewFrequently asked questions
- What size crane truck do I need?
- Tell us the heaviest item's weight and how far it needs to be lifted from where the truck can park. Those two numbers decide the truck — we'll confirm the right one when we quote.
- Do you have small crane trucks for tight blocks?
- Yes. We run smaller rigs specifically for narrow streets, tight driveways and small blocks where a large truck simply can't set up.
- Can a truck-mounted crane handle heavy structural lifts?
- Our larger trucks handle structural steel, containers, machinery and precast work every week. If a lift is beyond a crane truck, we'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
