Choose your Preferred Franna Crane
20T Franna Crane
22T Franna Crane
MAC 25T Franna Crane
40T Franna Crane
If the 22T does not provide enough capacity at the required radius, compare the MAC 25T Franna and 40T Franna. If the lift requires substantially more reach or a different crane configuration, review all-terrain crane hire. Final crane selection must be based on the relevant load chart and actual site conditions.

What is a 22T Franna crane used for?
Typical uses include machinery relocation, site materials, structural steel, trusses, workshop lifting and other pick-and-carry tasks where the crane needs to move the load between positions.
Is a 22 tonne rating the same as the weight it can lift anywhere?
No. Rated capacity changes with radius, boom configuration, articulation, ground conditions and other factors. The current load chart must be used to confirm the lift.
Can I hire a 22T Franna in Bacchus Marsh or Melton?
Crane2U services Bacchus Marsh, Maddingley, Melton, Werribee, Caroline Springs and wider Melbourne, along with regional locations such as Geelong and Ballarat.
What should I send for a 22T Franna quote?
Send the load weight and dimensions, site address, pick and placement points, approximate radius and height, access information, ground conditions, preferred date and photos or plans.
What if the 22T Franna is not large enough?
Crane2U can review the job against the MAC 25T, 40T Franna and other fleet options rather than forcing the lift into the wrong crane class.
