Mini Crane Hire in Melbourne

Mass Hire gives you the flexibility to operate the equipment with your own team, or we can supply a fully licensed operator if you’d prefer, available at an additional cost. Whichever way you go, it’s important the crane is only ever run by someone holding the correct licence for that equipment. If you’re using your own team, we’ll make sure you know exactly what’s required before the crane arrives on site.

Yes, and it’s one of the most common combinations we supply. Maeda’s crawler cranes give you the reach and access to get into tight or elevated positions, while an Oktopus manipulator handles the actual glass panel with vacuum suction, giving the operator precise, controlled placement without manual handling risk. This pairing works well for glazing, curtain wall installation, and shopfront work, anywhere you need both crane access and fine control over a fragile or heavy panel at the point of placement.

Yes. Depending on the job, our cranes can be fitted with different hook types (including searcher hooks for tighter reach) or other attachments to suit the lift. Tell us what you’re lifting and where, and we’ll match the right hook or attachment to the crane.

Every crane is pre-hire checked using proper procedures before it leaves us, so you’re not the one discovering a fault on site. Each hire includes a risk assessment and operator manual, and a lift study is available if the job calls for one (additional cost). If you need technical assistance with other equipment, or if something on your current gear looks or feels abnormal, we provide immediate technical support rather than leaving you to work it out alone.

We supply mini crane hire across Melbourne and regional Victoria, including high-demand areas like Dandenong, Campbellfield, Tullamarine, Cranbourne, and the Mornington Peninsula. Wherever you’re based in Victoria, get in touch and we’ll confirm we can get the right crane to your site.

Yes. Our fleet is CraneSafe inspected and asset-managed and serviced by Lincer, so you’re getting equipment that’s been properly checked and maintained, not just whatever’s available that week.

The more information we have, the better the equipment match. Mass Hire can visit your site to assess access, weather exposure, available space for operation, reach, and load capacity, and whether the job is indoor or outdoor, since that alone can change which crane and attachments make sense. Send us what you can up front and we’ll do the rest.

Some of our Maeda cranes, including the MC-285C-3, can be fitted with an optional auxiliary winch. It extends the crane’s capability for deeper or underground lifts, for example, the MC-285C-3 can reach down to -100m with the auxiliary winch fitted, compared to -10.1m without it. If your job involves lift shafts, wells, or below-ground work, this is worth mentioning when you enquire so we can confirm the right crane and configuration.
