F.A.Q.
These are some of the questions you may have about our fleet.
If you have a different question, please let us know.
Do you offer crane hire for domestic jobs?
Yes. No job is too small. Moving awkward furniture or art, building a house or relocating a shipping container – Cairns Crane Hire Company is here to help.
I'm not sure which crane I need, can you help?
To provide the best solution for your lifting needs, we’ll need to know a few details:
– What is the weight of the load?
– What are the dimensions of the load?
– How far is the distance from the crane to the final position?
Answering these questions will help us determine the right crane for your project. Contact us to discuss your requirements and we’ll be happy to assist you in selecting the perfect crane for the job!
What's the difference between a franna crane and a slewing crane?
A franna crane is a non-slewing crane which means that the boom does not swivel around. These cranes are ideal for pick and carry type tasks.
A slewing crane has a rotating base allowing you to spin the boom around once the load has been lifted which gives you greater mobility. These cranes can typically carry more than a franna crane.
Can I hire a crane without an operator?
Yes. If you have a licenced crane operator of your own that you’d like to use, we offer dry crane hire (without an operator).
How much does it cost to hire a crane?
Our crane hire rates vary depending on the crane type, duration of hire, and other factors. Please contact us for a estimate.
