Find answers to common questions about our crane hire services, equipment, operators, and project support.
How much does 40T Franna crane hire cost in Melbourne?
Rates depend on hire duration, travel distance, site conditions, and whether you need wet or dry hire. Because the AT 40 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.
What can a 40T Franna crane lift?
The AT 40 handles heavy structural steel, generators, transformers, plant, precast panels and modular buildings. Capacity reduces as the boom extends, so we supply the current load chart with every quote to confirm your lift.
What does AT 40 mean?
AT 40 is the model name Franna, a Terex brand, gives its 40-tonne pick and carry crane. It is the largest machine in the Franna range and the standard choice for heavy pick and carry work in Australia.
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 40T Franna or an all-terrain crane?
Choose the AT 40 when you need to carry the load around site and keep set-up time down. Choose an all-terrain crane when you need greater height, longer reach, or capacity beyond forty tonnes.
Can a 40T Franna work in tight-access areas?
Yes, within reason. It is larger than the 20T and 25T, so head height and turning space matter more, but articulated steering and no outriggers still let it work where a slewing crane cannot set up.
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?
Site address, load weight and dimensions, lift or carry distance, access details, ground conditions and your preferred date. Photos and drawings help us confirm the right crane first go.
