FAQ
How far do you travel?
What size Crane Do I need?
Crane size is calculated based on the weight, radius and height of the load. We take a variety of factors into account such as the number of lift points, ground bearing pressure and wind speed. The best way to find out the size crane you need? Contact us!
What kind of projects do you specialise in?
With over 26 years experience we offer a wide range of expertise including bridges, wind turbine construction, wind turbine maintenance, rail machine lifting and transport, beam installation for road widening, and a variety of major infrastructure projects.
Will the crane damage the ground or get bogged?
The ground will need to be strong enough to support the crane while driving into position. We have a wide variety of bogmats that can be used to distribute the weight and reduce ground bearing pressure under the outriggers once the crane has been set up.
Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
What is a dogman and Do I need to book one?
A dogman is a qualified worker employed to assist with a variety of tasks such as setting up the crane and hooking up the load. They are an essential asset to assist the crane driver.
