Crane2U provides crane hire in Altona, VIC 3018, for builders, industrial sites, businesses and homeowners. We supply Franna pick-and-carry cranes, all-terrain cranes, crawler spider cranes and crane trucks, with licensed operators, dogmen and riggers available.
Altona has two sides: bayside residential streets with renovations, rebuilds and pools, and a large industrial area to the north and west with fuel, chemical, manufacturing and logistics sites. That gives us everything from a spa over a beach-side house to tanks, pumps and steel on industrial plants.
Send us the address, load details and a few site photos and we’ll recommend the right crane.

A crane truck delivers and lifts in one visit, so there’s no need to book a separate truck and crane. In Altona we use crane trucks for frames, steel, roof sheets, containers, tanks and smaller machinery. For larger plant we combine lifting with heavy haulage or tilt-tray transport.
Common lifts across Altona:
We cover Altona and nearby suburbs, including Altona North, Altona Meadows, Seaholme, Williamstown, Newport, Brooklyn and Laverton North.
Wind off Port Phillip Bay is a real factor here: crane operators have wind-speed limits, and large flat loads such as roof sheets, panels and spas catch wind easily. We plan bayside lifts for calmer parts of the day where we can. Industrial sites bring inductions, permits to work and exclusion zones; we supply SWMS and lift plans to suit.
If the crane needs to stand on a council road or footpath, a Hobsons Bay City Council permit and traffic management may be required. We can help arrange both.
