Crane2U offers 3T tracked carrier hire in Melbourne and Regional Victoria using the ML 3.0 FX, a compact battery-electric flatbed carrier for transporting heavy materials and equipment across challenging access routes. The published specification lists a maximum capacity of 3,000 kg (up to 25°), an overall width of 800 mm and radio remote control. The actual load limit must be verified against slope, load position, route conditions and the exact carrier configuration.
The ML 3.0 FX combines rubber tracks, a rotating platform with 16 lockable positions, adjustable telescopic support beams and a fully removable battery pack. It can support controlled equipment movements through industrial facilities, construction sites, glazed facades, fit-outs and restricted-access delivery routes where moving materials horizontally is the main challenge.

Tell us what you are lifting, where it needs to go and what access is available. Crane2U can recommend a suitable crane and supporting services for the job.
The 1.25T tracked carrier is the smallest option at 750 mm overall width. The 2.5T carrier has a 950 mm listed width and up to 2,500 kg capacity on level ground. The ML 3.0 FX lists 800 mm width and 3,000 kg maximum capacity subject to the manufacturer’s gradient limits, making width and carrying capacity an important combination to evaluate rather than selecting by tonne rating alone.
For larger level-ground loads, compare the 4T tracked carrier. If the job also needs a vertical lift after materials have been transported, consider crawler spider crane hire or wider mobile crane hire in Melbourne. The correct equipment depends on the route, load geometry, surface and lifting plan.
Restricted-access lifts often need more than a crane. Crane2U can coordinate supporting services around the actual site conditions and lifting plan.
Flexible crane hire options matched to the project, crew requirements and operating arrangements.
Planning support for complex or higher-risk lifts, including lift methodology and site considerations.
Qualified lifting support for rigging, load control, signalling and safe crane operations.
Qualified spotter support for crane and plant operations near electrical hazards and powerlines.
Transport support for machinery, equipment and project materials across Melbourne and Regional Victoria.
Tracked material-handling support where loads need to move through soft, rough or restricted-access areas.
The manufacturer reference lists a maximum capacity of 3,000 kg (up to 25°) and 2,500 kg at its maximum gradient. These are not guarantees for every load or site; a route and load assessment is required.
The reference matching the supplied preview lists 800 mm overall width. Your usable passage must also account for load overhang, turns, door frames, safety clearances and the exact fleet version.
Battery-electric drive can suit indoor work, subject to floor loading, surface protection, pedestrian separation and site-specific safety controls.
No. The carrier is intended to transport loads horizontally. For placement at height, arrange suitable lifting equipment such as a crawler spider crane.
The 2.5T Aconda 2500 PRO is listed at 950 mm wide with 2,500 kg level-ground capacity; the ML 3.0 FX reference lists 800 mm width and up to 3,000 kg under stated conditions. The correct choice depends on your route, support arrangement and load.
Crane2U can assess suitable projects across Melbourne and Regional Victoria, including Geelong and Ballarat. Provide project details so mobilisation and equipment suitability can be confirmed.
Manufacturer literature describes removable AGM and lithium options. Confirm the battery fitted to the specific Crane2U unit and the site charging arrangement before hire.
