All Terrain Crane Hire
in Melbourne
Two Axle to Five Axle All Terrain Cranes, 40T to 250T
Some lifts sit too high, too far out, or too heavy for anything on wheels that stays compact. That is where an all-terrain machine earns its place, and Crane2U runs them across Melbourne, Geelong, Western Victoria, Maidstone, Werribee, and Caroline Springs.
Two axle units through to five axle giants, rated from forty tonnes up to two hundred and fifty. Rough ground, tight approaches and long boom work all handled by the one class of crane
Height, Reach and Ground Clearance in One Machine
Search for all-terrain crane hire in Melbourne, and you are almost certainly dealing with height, radius, or difficult access. Nothing else in the mobile range solves all three at once.
An all-terrain crane rides on multi-axle steering, travels legally on the highway at speed, then leaves the bitumen and works on soft or uneven ground without needing a low loader to get there.
Set the outriggers, extend the boom, add the fly, and the machine reaches over structures that would defeat anything smaller. One crane covers what would otherwise take two separate visits.
Describe the lift, and we will have pricing back to you within the day.
Why Site Managers Reach for an All Terrain Crane
All-terrain cranes bridge the gap between road mobility and serious heavy lifting. Five things separate them from the rest of the fleet:
- Forty to two hundred and fifty tonnes. A capacity band no other mobile class can match.
- Boom lengths that clear obstacles. Reach over roofs, scaffolds and existing structures in a single pick.
- Built for rough ground. All Wheel Drive and high clearance move it across mud, gravel and unmade access.
- Highway registered. Drives to site under its own power rather than arriving in pieces on a float.
- Counterweight matched to the job. We bring only what your lift needs, keeping transport costs sensible.

Picking the Right Axle Configuration for Your Lift
Picking the Right Axle Configuration for Your Lift
Axle count tells you almost everything. More axles means more capacity, longer boom and a bigger footprint, so the right choice balances what you are lifting against what will fit through your gate.

Everything Included
When Crane2U
Runs Your Lift
You deal with the people who own the machines, not a booking desk. Each all-terrain crane arrives with a ticketed operator who knows that particular model, and we build the rest of the crew around the complexity of your lift.
Big lifts demand proper preparation. Ground bearing pressures, outrigger loads, boom configuration, and rigging design are worked through before mobilization, with engineered lift studies produced whenever the job warrants one.
- Qualified operators. Every driver carries current tickets and model-specific verification.
- Crew on request. Riggers, dogmen and electrical spotters added to any booking.
- Lift studies available. Ground pressures, load charts and rigging plans prepared in-house.
- Transparent quoting. Counterweight, travel and crew all itemized before you commit.
- Available any hour. Night shifts, weekend shutdowns and emergency call-outs handled routinely.
- Support fleet ready. Franna cranes, crawlers, tracked carriers and float transport on standby.

Setup and lifting process
What does all terrain crane hire cost in Melbourne?
An all terrain crane is a mobile crane designed for both road travel and site lifting. It combines mobility, lifting power and flexibility across different job environments.
What makes a crane all terrain rather than rough terrain?
The main difference is the crane size, lifting capacity and general project suitability. Smaller axle types are usually more compact, while larger axle types are used for heavier and more complex lifts.
How much room does an all-terrain crane need?
It varies with the model. A two-axle unit sets up in a modest footprint, while a five-axle machine needs considerable space for outriggers plus room for counterweight trucks. Send site photos, and we will assess it properly.
Do I need an engineered lift study?
Not for straightforward picks. Studies become necessary for tandem lifts, work near live services, questionable ground, or anywhere a principal contractor requires documented sign-off. We produce them in-house.
Is the operator included in the hire?
Yes. All terrain cranes go out wet hire only, meaning our operator runs the machine. Additional riggers and dogmen are quoted separately based on your lift plan.
Should I book an all terrain or a Franna?
Franna cranes carry loads around site and suit lighter, more mobile work. An all-terrain sets up in one position and delivers far greater height, radius and tonnage from there.
Which parts of Victoria do you cover?
Metro Melbourne plus Geelong, Bacchus Marsh, Melton, Werribee, Ballarat and the wider Western Victoria region. Regional and interstate work is arranged on request.
How much notice do you need?
Smaller machines can often mobilize within a day. Larger units need more lead time because counterweight transport and permits must be organized, so give us as much notice as you can.

Undersize the crane and the lift fails. Oversize it, and you pay for tonnage that never leaves the ground. Ring 0457 000 637, email info@crane2u.com.au, or send the quote form through, and we will nominate exactly the right all-terrain machine for your job.
