What a crane truck can lift and move

Our crane trucks lift, move and transport the loads that ordinary trucks cannot: generators, 6 metre and 12 metre containers, steel structures and steel sheeting, transformers, and heavy diesel tanks. Our drivers are all certified and trained to ensure the best possible service delivery that we can offer, and each crane truck is fully equipped with certified slings, safety equipment and an experienced operator.

The fleet runs from 8 ton to 80 ton crane trucks, cab mounted and rear mounted, in rough terrain configurations, so there is a truck matched to almost any requirement. Crane trucks are the workhorses of the engineering, construction and mining industries: they carry less than a plain hauler, and they make up for it by loading and offloading themselves at any destination, with no separate crane hire needed.

Crane truck or mobile crane: which one does your job need

A mobile crane lifts but does not carry. If your load also has to travel, a mobile crane means hiring transport separately and paying for two machines and two crews to meet on site at the same time. A crane truck is both machines in one: it arrives, lifts its own load, carries it, and offloads itself at the other end. For generators, containers, transformers and machinery moves, that usually makes it the simpler and more economical choice. If you are not sure which your job needs, call the office on 086 999 0270 and describe the load, the answer takes two minutes.

How crane truck hire pricing works

Crane truck hire is priced on four things: the tonnage the lift needs, the distance the load travels, the time on site, and whether the load needs permits, escorts or route approvals, which we arrange ourselves as part of the job. That is why we quote per job rather than off a rate card, and why it costs nothing to ask: call the office on 086 999 0270 with the load and the addresses and you get a firm price, and we are only one phone call away 24/7. Our smallest crane truck starts from R2 500 a day, excluding VAT, with the operator and the slings included. The full breakdown is on our crane truck hire prices in Johannesburg page.
