Our crane trucks

5 Ton Crane Truck:

Don’t let its smaller size fool you. Our 5-ton crane trucks are incredibly agile and perfect for urban environments and tighter access sites. They are a cost-effective solution for loading and unloading steel beams, machinery, generators, and construction materials. Equipped with a 6-metre load bed, they are the go-to choice for smaller-scale engineering tasks and deliveries where a crane is essential.

8 Ton Crane Truck

A step up in power, our 8-ton models offer exceptional reach and lifting capacity for their class. Ideal for medium-duty applications, these trucks are commonly used in manufacturing plants and for logistics support. With available load beds of 6m and 12m, they provide excellent flexibility for both lifting and transporting heavier loads like industrial components, pre-cast concrete sections, and large equipment.

16 Ton Crane Truck

This is where true heavy-duty capability begins. Our 16-ton crane trucks are built for the tough jobs, frequently deployed in steel handling, plant maintenance, and larger construction projects. Their significant lifting power, combined with extensive boom reach, allows them to place loads with precision where smaller cranes cannot. The robust 12m load bed can carry substantial cargo, making it a single, powerful solution for complex delivery and installation tasks.

20 Ton Crane Truck

For the most demanding industrial applications, our 20-ton crane trucks are the pinnacle of our fleet. These machines offer formidable lifting strength and are mounted on trucks with heavy-duty load beds capable of carrying up to 20 tons of additional cargo. This combination is unbeatable for projects requiring the movement and placement of extremely heavy items—from large industrial machinery and transformers to complex structural steel elements. The 12m bed provides ample space for multiple items or oversized single loads.

Every crane in our fleet is operated by our team of fully qualified, experienced crane operators and riggers. They are not just drivers; they are lifting specialists who understand load dynamics, slinging techniques, and site safety protocols.
