Cranes, supplied and installed

Capacities are typical. If your load is outside them, ask anyway; most of these can be built heavier or longer.

1 t to 20 tOverhead bridge cranes

Cover the whole floor from a runway on columns or the building structure.

250 kg to 20 tGantry cranes

For buildings that can't carry crane loads, outdoor yards and lifts that move around.

125 kg to 5 tJib cranes

A single workstation, machine or loading bay that needs its own hoist.

125 kg to 2 tWorkstation cranes

Light, fast systems where the operator guides the load by hand.

How a crane job runs

Most single-crane jobs follow the same six steps. Hoists and spare parts skip straight from step 3 to delivery.

  1. You tell us the lift

    Load weight, span, lift height and how often the crane will work. A phone call or the quote form is enough to start.

  2. We check the site

    We measure the building or bay, look at columns and slab, and confirm power and access.

  3. Fixed quote

    An itemised price for the crane, freight, installation, testing and compliance documents. No vague allowances.

  4. Design and supply

    The crane is specified to AS 1418 for your duty, and design registration is lodged where your state requires it.

  5. Installation

    Our crew installs the runway, crane and hoist, usually around your production so the floor keeps running.

  6. Test and handover

    Load test, commissioning, operator walk-through and a documentation pack for your records.

Where we work

Based in Melbourne. We supply and install across Australia, with regular work in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

Common questions

How much does an overhead crane cost in Australia?

It depends mostly on capacity, span and whether the building can carry the runway. A small jib crane can be a few thousand dollars installed, while a full-span bridge crane with a new runway is a larger project. Send us the load, span and lift height and we'll give you a fixed price.

Do I need design registration for my crane?

Bridge cranes and gantry cranes generally need their design registered with the work health and safety regulator in your state before they're used. We arrange the design documentation and lodgement as part of the job.

Can you install a crane in an existing building?

Usually, yes. The first question is whether the building structure can carry the crane loads. If it can't, a freestanding runway on its own columns or a gantry crane avoids loading the building at all.

Do you sell hoists and spare parts on their own?

Yes. We supply electric chain hoists, wire rope hoists, radio remote controls, pendants and common crane parts for existing cranes, not just for cranes we install.

Tell us what you need to lift.

Send the load, span and lift height if you know them. If you don't, we'll come and measure.
