Experience you can Trust

As the industry leader in mobile crane hire you can rely on our extensive fleet nearing forty cranes and some twenty truck / trailer combinations to ensure you get the best value and a seamlessly delivered project.

Value-adding for all employees has seen the addition of a Safety Manager with capability now inclusive of Australian Standards qualified Cert IV in-house training. We continue to exceed industry standards looking to raise the bar at every opportunity.

With safety awareness and unrivalled lift design at the fore in much of the decision-making within our industry, the strong emphasis on providing the best tools for the job is just part of our planning prior to cranes arriving on site.

Our flagship TC2800 600t truck-mounted mobile crane continues to provide unmatched capability for the business, supporting demanding projects in wind farm construction, petrochemical plants, and mining environments as part of Metcalf Crane Services’ daily operations.

Complementing this is the Liebherr LTM1750-9.1, an 800t all-terrain crane renowned for its exceptional versatility and power. Configured with the TYV23EN setup, it’s optimised for efficient wind turbine maintenance, with a hydraulic boom that enables quick, cost-effective set-up.

With short set-up times, the LTM1750-9.1 is also highly suited to rail, road, and bridge projects. Its robust lifting capacity is ideal for heavy infrastructure projects, such as large beam and girder installations.

Testimonials

"The team was outstanding in collaborating to come up with a suitable method to install the bridge. Site constraints and the rail corridor environment was the key challenge. [...] The Metcalf team knew their cranes capabilities back to front which was essential in mitigating major risks and to set the project up for success.
