About Crane Hire in St George
Crane Hire for Building Work, Installations and Home Projects
Getting a delivery to the property is only part of the job. Steel beams may need lifting over an existing roof, replacement equipment may need placing on an apartment building, or a spa may need moving into a backyard with limited access.
Tell us how the lift fits into your project. For building and installation work, include the delivery time, the order in which materials are needed and when your trades will be ready to receive them.
For an apartment building or commercial property in Hurstville, Kogarah or Rockdale, mention shared driveways, loading areas and any access requirements set by the building manager. For a residential lift, photos should show the space between the proposed crane position and the landing point—not just the driveway entrance.
Planning Access and Street Setup
A clear entrance does not always mean there is enough room for a crane to set up and operate. Send photos of the approach, possible setup area and any nearby buildings, trees or overhead powerlines.
Let us know about slopes, narrow gates, limited turning space or anything uncertain about the ground. If the crane or delivery vehicle would need to stand on the street, raise this early so we can discuss the proposed setup before booking.
Check which council manages the exact address before arranging road or footpath access. Georges River Council lists road, lane and footpath closure applications, while Bayside publishes standing-plant requirements for mobile cranes. The approvals needed depend on where and how the crane will operate.
Franna Crane Hire in St George
Moving machinery within a workshop or carrying equipment from an unloading area to its final position may suit a Franna crane.
These cranes can lift and carry loads within a site, but suitability depends on the weight, travel path, clearances and ground conditions.
For a machinery move in Peakhurst, Mortdale or elsewhere in St George, send photos of the whole route. Include doorways, corners, slopes and the space available at both ends.
Our fleet includes a 20-tonne Franna crane. Its maximum rating does not apply to every lifting position or configuration. We assess the job before recommending equipment, and another mobile crane may be more suitable when greater reach or height is needed.
CORE SERVICES
Crane Services for Your Project
Crane support for construction, trade installations and residential projects, with equipment chosen to suit the load and available access.
Pool and Spa Placement
Arrange a lift when a pool shell or spa cannot reach the installation area through the available ground access. Send the supplier’s specifications and photos showing the property, obstacles and placement point.
HVAC and Rooftop Equipment Lifts
Coordinate the placement of air-conditioning units and other rooftop equipment. Include the equipment weight, roof location and installation time, plus details of any existing unit that needs removing.
Tree Removal Crane Support
Arrange crane support with your arborist when branches or trunk sections need lifting away from surrounding property. We discuss the crane setup and lifting sequence alongside the arborist’s removal plan.
Machinery and Equipment Lifts
Position or relocate machinery, generators and other equipment. Provide the weight, dimensions and any lifting-point information, along with access details for the pickup and landing areas.
Tight-Access Lifting
Limited setup space can affect the equipment needed. Send photos and measurements so we can assess whether a compact city crane or another lifting arrangement may suit the property.
Our Fleet
A Mobile Crane Selected for Your Lift
The right crane needs enough capacity at the required distance and height, with suitable space to enter, set up and operate.
The item’s weight is only part of the decision. The distance to the landing point, surrounding obstacles and crane configuration also affect what can be lifted.
You don’t need to choose the equipment before calling. Browse our mobile crane fleet, or send the available details and we’ll discuss a suitable option.
Trusted Crane Equipment Brands

Customer Testimonials
Nathan
Absolutely incredible workmanship!!! The crane operator and dogman work in unison the best I have ever seen. My boss has been in the construction industry for 40+ years and his opinion is that this is the best he has ever seen an operator and dogman communicate. They were in and out of the job in unbeatable time. They were on the jobsite at the exact time arranged and didn't take more than 15 minutes to set up. They were informative prior to contractual agreement, pleasing to speak with and very polite. 10/10, I will definitely only ever use them for future work. Well done boys! Thank you!

We used Biglift Cranes' 55t crane for a lifting job at our site in Wetherill Park and received great service from beginning to end. The team was professional, punctual and experienced, and they helped organise the right mobile crane for the job. The crane operator worked safely and completed the lift efficiently. I would highly recommend Biglift Cranes for mobile crane hire in Wetherill Park and across Western Sydney.

Amazing job from Samih! Lifting out 50t of material, an excavator and taking 15t of material into the site over a 35m reach. They also dropped in a 6t spa into a tight slab penetration, working around difficult obstacles, all in one day's work. Started at 7am and was there with us until 6:30pm to get the job done. Legend.

Very professional and easy to deal with. Samir is the guy who is not going to take any penny more than needed, but only enough to cover his costs and efforts, which were really worth it. They relocated our long-wanted spa from a difficult location with power lines over the house. He found another way to remove the spa undamaged, place it on the truck and bring it to my house without a scratch. His planning, communication, solutions and professionalism made the entire process easy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend BigLift to anyone who needs a complicated task completed.

Read guideFrequently Asked Questions
1 How much does crane hire in St George cost?
The cost depends on the crane and work required, including the load, lifting distance, access and expected duration. Crew requirements, traffic arrangements and approvals can also affect the quote. Send the site address, load details and photos for a free quote.
2 Can I hire a Franna crane in St George?
Yes, subject to the job requirements and crane availability. Tell us whether the item needs lifting into position or carrying within the site. The load, travel path, clearances and ground conditions help determine whether a Franna is suitable.
3 What crane size do I need?
The item’s weight is only part of the decision. Reach, lifting height, obstacles and setup space also matter. Share the supplier’s specifications and site photos, and we’ll discuss a suitable option.
4 Can you lift a pool or spa over my house?
A crane may provide access to a backyard that cannot be reached from ground level. Suitability depends on the load, reach, clearance and setup position. Send the supplier’s specifications and photos showing the house, access and installation area.
5 Do I need council approval for a street setup?
Check with the council responsible for the exact address. Operating from a road or affecting a footpath may require approvals and traffic arrangements. Georges River and Bayside have different application processes, and other road or airspace approvals may apply. Confirm the requirements before booking the lift.
6 Can you coordinate with my builder or installer?
Yes. Share the delivery schedule, installation sequence and site contact. Mention whether several items need lifting, an old unit needs removing first or the work must fit within a set access time.
7 Do you offer urgent or after-hours crane hire?
You can call 1300 024 454 at any time to discuss an urgent lift. Crane availability and the timing of the work depend on the job requirements and any applicable restrictions. Our emergency crane hire page explains more.
