The Terex Franna AT 20T Pick and Carry Crane

With no outriggers and no long set-up, our 20T pick and carry crane near you slips into spaces others cannot reach. It lifts your load and places it exactly where you need it.
Melbourne’s Tight Access
Specialist in a Pick and Carry Crane
When you search for a 20T Franna crane hire in Melbourne, you usually have an access problem, not just a weight problem. That is exactly where the 20T Franna earns its keep. Franna, a Terex brand, designed this machine to work where space runs out. It drives in, hooks up, lifts your load and carries it exactly where it needs to go, all without a single outrigger. That compact footprint saves you set-up time, float costs and standing hours. It is the reason 20T Franna hire is often the smartest and most cost-effective lifting solution on Melbourne job sites. Tell us about your lift, and Crane2u will have a price back to you today.
What the 20T Franna Does Better Than a
Other Crane?
The 20T Franna is a mobile pick and carry crane built to remove the delays and hidden costs of conventional crane hire. On your job, that means:
- Access where others fail. Narrow laneways, tight driveways and sheds with low head height.
- Zero outrigger set-up. The crane begins lifting the moment it rolls onto your site.
- Carries under load. It lifts the item and drives it into position in one movement.
- No float fees on most metro jobs. The road is registered, so it drives itself between sites.
- Full lifting gear on board. Hydraulic boom, fly jib, hook block, winch and certified rigging equipment come with every hire.

How much does 20T Franna crane hire cost in Melbourne?
Rates depend on hire duration, travel distance, site conditions,s and whether you need wet or dry hire. Because the 20T drives itself to most metro sites, you often avoid float charges completely. Call 0457 000 637 for an accurate, obligation-free quote the same day.A 20T Franna crane is commonly used for small to medium lifting projects that need flexibility, fast setup, and safe load handling. It is suitable for residential lifting, steel installation, machinery moves, construction projects, and general site lifting.
What can a 20T Franna crane lift?
The 20T handles roof trusses, workshop machinery, steel beams, pools, containers, site sheds and air conditioning plant. Capacity reduces as the boom extends, so we supply the current load chart with every quote to confirm your lift.
How much space does a 20T Franna need?
Far less than a slewing crane, because there are no outriggers to set up. It needs a firm, level path wide enough to drive through. Send us site photos, and we will confirm access before the day.
Do you supply an operator with the crane?
Yes. Standard hire is wet hire, which includes a licensed, experienced operator. Dry hire is available for approved clients with appropriately ticketed personnel.
Should I hire a 20T or a 25T Franna?
Choose the 20T when access is the main challenge and the load sits comfortably within its chart. Step up to the MAC 25 when you need extra capacity or more stability at a longer radius.
Can a 20T Franna lift a swimming pool?
Yes. Fiberglass pools, spas and saunas are regular work for the 20T, lifting over fences and dropping neatly into position on tight suburban blocks. Send us the pool weight, dimensions and access details for a quote.
Which areas do you cover?
All Melbourne metro suburbs, plus Geelong, Bacchus Marsh, Melton, Werribee, Ballarat and the wider Western Victoria region. Our Maddingley depot keeps travel time and cost down for every client.
How quickly can you get the crane to my site?
For most Melbourne and Geelong jobs, we can mobilize the same day or next morning, subject to availability. We operate 24/7, so urgent lifts and night work are never a problem.
