If you need the use of a crane for a project, but need it to be highly mobile and sturdy, then consider crane truck hire. As the name suggests, these machines are simply cranes attached to the back of a truck for extra mobility.
This allows them to be a highly mobile crane that's still able to lift and move objects around a worksite with ease. Of course, there are also smaller models available that can fit inside work sheds or buildings so you can still make use of the crane in a tighter space as well.
Most crane truck hire companies will be a wet hire service. This means they will come to your site and do the work you require for you. Whether it's lifting wood, scaffolding, generators, turf or pipes, operators will have the experience and skillset to handle any project you have.
On top of moving items around a worksite, crane trucks can also be utilised to transport large, bulky items over a long distance, without the need for a separate crane and truck. Of course, what can be carried will depend on the make, model and size of the truck, but there are models available for fairly large items.
This is a very cost-effective option as having to only hire a single machine is almost always cheaper than hiring 2, especially if you need to wet hire both of them! And don't worry, there are also smaller trucks available if you only need some smaller items moved as well.
Whatever size crane truck you need, hire companies in your region will have options to suit a variety of situations, including options from as small as a few hundred kg to over 24t!
One of the biggest benefits of crane truck hire, aside from the affordability and convenience, is the accessibility. Because the main body of the machine is a truck, operators are able to maneuver it easier than if it was a traditional crane.
While hire companies will be able to provide freight for large and heavy objects throughout your region, you'll want to confirm with them exactly how far they will be able to transport your items. Some companies will only provide freight in a localised area, while some will be able to transport to nearby cities or even interstate.
You may also need to consider any regulations around the materials you need freighted and whether additional safety measures would need to be taken.
Whether you just need some timber moved across a worksite, or some concrete tanks moved across town, crane truck hire companies have a solution for your needs. Contact your local hire company to find out rates and availability in your area today.
