Crane Truck Hire

Small Cranes, Big Impact: Transforming Construction with Versatile Hire Options

In today’s dynamic construction environment, agility and efficiency are key to staying on schedule and within budget. While towering cranes and massive machinery often dominate construction sites, there’s a quiet revolution happening with smaller, more agile equipment. Small cranes—particularly those mounted on trucks—are having a big impact on how materials are lifted, transported, and delivered to the site. These versatile machines are transforming workflows, and in South East Queensland, On The Move Transport is leading the way.

Offering an extensive fleet of mobile crane trucks, tilt trays, and semi-trailers, On The Move Transport empowers construction companies, landscapers, engineers, and business owners to complete their projects faster and more efficiently—all without investing in their own fleet.

Why Mobile Crane Truck Hire Is a Game Changer

Unlike traditional crane setups, mobile crane trucks combine the best of both worlds: the ability to transport goods and equipment while also being equipped with onboard cranes for lifting. This means there’s no need for additional lifting equipment or manual labour to load and unload—saving both time and money.

Here’s why hiring a mobile crane truck is becoming a popular solution across industries:

Time-saving: No waiting for separate cranes to arrive.

Reduced manpower: One truck and one driver/operator can do the job.

Increased safety: Professionally certified operators reduce risk.

Flexible lifting capacities: From 1 tonne to over 10 tonnes, suitable for nearly every lifting task.

In short, a single vehicle can carry heavy materials, navigate tight spaces, and lift them into place without a fuss. Whether you’re building a new home in Ipswich or installing signage in Brisbane CBD, a crane truck hire can simplify logistics in a big way.

Industries That Benefit from Crane Truck Hire

Small cranes may not grab headlines, but they’re essential in many industries:

Construction

Whether it’s delivering and lifting structural steel, concrete barriers, or roofing materials, small cranes speed up construction timelines.

Infrastructure and Utilities

Installation of traffic lights, poles, and utility boxes becomes easier with crane trucks that can both transport and lift in one operation.

Landscaping and Civil Works

Moving retaining walls, large trees, or stone blocks? No problem. Crane trucks are a landscaper’s best friend.

Retail and Commercial Fit-Outs

Need to install a rooftop unit or a heavy store fixture? A small crane can lift it without disrupting surrounding businesses or traffic.

Events and Entertainment

Event staging, light towers, or container-based booths often require quick installation—crane trucks offer the speed and control needed.

Fleet Overview: Tailored Transport for Every Job

At On The Move Transport, each job is matched with the right equipment. Their diverse fleet includes:

Crane Trucks (1 tonne to 10+ tonnes)

These trucks come in various sizes and lifting capacities. Some can extend up to 30 meters, ideal for high-rise installations and inner-city sites.

Tilt Tray Trucks

These trucks are ideal for the relocation of machinery, containers, and portable buildings, and with the added benefit of crane arms, they can perform both tilting and lifting tasks.

Semi Crane Trucks

The ultimate combination of heavy freight capacity and strong crane lifting power makes it excellent for long-distance delivery of heavy items such as generators, large beams, or oversized crates.

Flatbed and Semi Trailers

For straightforward transport of long or heavy materials—such as timber, pipes, and scaffolding—these vehicles ensure safe and secure delivery.

On The Move Transport can carry up to 24 tonnes and provide trailer lengths up to 25 meters with options like drop deck and extendable trailers to accommodate unique load shapes and sizes.

Things to Consider Before Booking a Crane Truck

Before booking a crane truck, take a few simple steps to ensure everything goes off without a hitch:

  1. Know Your Load: Determine the weight, dimensions, and whether it’s a single item or multiple pieces.
  2. Check Site Accessibility: Is the site paved? Are there overhead wires or obstacles? A quick site review can prevent delays.
  3. Select the Right Truck: On The Move Transport’s team can help you choose the best truck based on your project requirements.
  4. Timing and Duration: Book your truck with ample notice, especially during peak periods. Be clear on how long the lift will take to avoid extended rental charges.
