Crane & Hiab Services:
Precision Lifting for Your Complex Projects

When Precision Matters, Don't Trust Your Loads to Amateurs

Millimeter-Perfect Precision for Critical Lifts

Precision Over Power

Some lifting jobs require more than just brute strength - they demand millimeter-perfect precision. When you're moving expensive machinery, delicate structural components, or working in confined spaces where one wrong move could cost thousands in damages.

Placement vs. Movement

Standard towing equipment can move things, but specialized crane and hiab services place them exactly where they need to be. The difference isn't just in lifting capacity - it's in control, precision, and expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a crane and a hiab service?

Cranes are dedicated lifting equipment with higher capacity and reach, while hiabs are truck-mounted loaders that combine transport and lifting in one unit. We'll recommend the right solution for your specific needs.

How much notice do you need for crane hire?

We can provide emergency same-day service for critical situations, but we recommend 24-48 hours' notice for optimal equipment scheduling and site planning.

Do you handle permits and site approvals?

We manage all necessary permits for road closures, overhead line considerations, and municipal approvals as part of our service package.

What's your maximum lift capacity and reach?

Our largest mobile cranes handle 50 tons with up to 40 meters of reach. We can arrange for larger specialized equipment for extraordinary projects.

Can you work in confined urban sites?

Yes. We specialize in tight urban environments, using compact equipment and detailed planning to navigate limited spaces safely.

Do you provide operators only or full service?

We provide complete turnkey services, including certified operators, equipment, rigging, and planning. Our operators stay with the equipment throughout your project.
