Crane Truck Hire

A crane truck is used to lift, load, transport, and unload heavy or bulky materials using a single vehicle. Equipped with a hydraulic crane mounted on its chassis, it eliminates the need for separate lifting equipment, making operations faster and more efficient.

Common uses include:

• Delivering and placing construction materials such as steel beams, bricks, and scaffolding

• Transporting and positioning heavy machinery or industrial equipment

• Moving shipping containers for logistics and freight operations

• Assisting with infrastructure and utility installations

• Handling oversized loads in sectors like mining, energy, and manufacturing

You would need to hire a crane truck when your project requires lifting, loading, transporting, and unloading heavy or oversized items quickly and efficiently, all with one vehicle. Hiring a crane truck is ideal if you don’t have the equipment in-house or want to avoid the high costs of purchasing, maintaining, and operating your own unit.

Common reasons include:

• Moving heavy machinery, equipment, or building materials

• Lifting and positioning items in hard-to-reach or elevated areas

• Transporting containers or oversized cargo between sites

• Reducing downtime by combining transport and lifting in one service

• Accessing experienced operators who ensure safety and compliance

At Multistrada Logistics, we offer crane trucks with a wide range of load capacities to suit different lifting and transport requirements. Our fleet includes compact units for lighter loads through to heavy-duty crane trucks capable of handling large, oversized, or high-weight cargo.

Typical capacities available include:

• Light-duty: 3–8 tonnes

• Medium-duty: 8–15 tonnes

• Heavy-duty: 15+ tonnes

This variety ensures we can match the right crane truck to your project’s needs — whether you’re working in construction, mining, manufacturing, logistics, or specialised rigging.

Choosing the right crane truck depends on several factors — including the weight of your load, lifting height, reach required, site conditions, and any specialised handling needs.

At Multistrada Logistics, our experienced team will guide you through the selection process. We’ll assess your project requirements, recommend the most suitable crane truck, and ensure it’s matched to your site conditions for maximum efficiency and safety.

Key considerations when choosing include:

• Load weight – determines the lifting capacity needed

• Lift height & reach – impacts the crane’s boom length

• Site access – narrow or confined areas may require compact units

• Terrain – urban, industrial, or rough site conditions require different setups

• Job scope – single lifts vs. multiple loading/unloading operations
