Crane Hire Sydney by HiLine Cranes

Our fleet includes compact mobile cranes built for both urban and off-road conditions. They’re powerful enough to handle heavy lifts up to 13 tonnes, yet compact enough to operate safely in tight or uneven access sites across Sydney.

Our mobile cranes lift up to 13 tonnes at a 1.7 metre radius. Capacity decreases as the radius increases, so we assess each job carefully to determine the safest working load for your lift.

They can reach over 23 metres on the 4-section telescopic main boom, or around 31 metres with a jib extension. The available capacity changes depending on boom length and lifting radius.

Our fleet handles a wide range of lifting work across Sydney, including:

• Residential and commercial construction work
• Air conditioning and HVAC rooftop installations
• Tree removal and landscaping
• Spa and pool shell lifts
• Steel erection and construction materials
• Glass panels, skylights, and signage installations
• Machinery relocation and plant maintenance
• Furniture and building materials for high-rise deliveries
• Tight or uneven access sites where larger cranes can’t operate

If your job isn’t listed, get in touch. We’ll assess your site and confirm if our crane is the right fit.

Yes. As rough terrain cranes, they’re built to handle unpaved or uneven surfaces. They feature large tyres, four-wheel drive, and independent outrigger stabilisation for safe operation.

Our cranes have hydraulically operated outriggers that can be adjusted to fit various site layouts. A clear, level setup area is preferred for maximum lifting performance and safety.

For most jobs, yes. A site assessment helps confirm access, ground conditions, and lifting requirements to determine if the 13-tonne crane is suitable.

The crane’s overall width is 2.62 metres, and the maximum outrigger spread is 5.1 metres, allowing it to work in relatively confined spaces compared to larger cranes.

It’s equipped with an AML (Automatic Moment Limiter) system, anti-two block protection, load indicators, and hydraulic safety valves, all of which monitor lifting limits and prevent overloading.

Yes, all hires include a qualified and experienced crane operator, fully licensed and trained in safe operation and site safety compliance.

The cost to lift or move a hot tub depends on factors like access, lift height, location, and how long the job takes. Every site is different. Some require a straight lift from a driveway, while others involve reaching over a house or working in a tight space. The best way to get an accurate figure is to request a free quote. We’ll visit your site (usually within 24–48 hours) and provide a clear price with no hidden fees.

Pricing depends on several factors, including the type of lift, weight of the load, site access, and duration of hire. At HiLine Cranes, we keep pricing affordable and transparent. Every quote is itemised, with no hidden charges. This is so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
