MAC 25T Franna Crane Hire
in Melbourne
The Terex Franna MAC 25T Pick and Carry Crane
Book a crane too small, and the lift stops halfway. Book one too big and you pay for capacity you never touch. Crane2U removes that guesswork with MAC 25T Franna crane hire across Melbourne, Geelong and Western Victoria.
The MAC 25 sits in the sweet spot of the range. Serious capacity, steady out at radius, and compact enough to work the everyday sites where a slewing crane would tie up half your yard.
The Crane Melbourne Builders Book
More Than Any Other
Ask around any Victorian site and the MAC 25 comes up first. It is the model our crews take out most weeks of the year, because it covers the widest slice of real lifting work without compromise. Franna, a Terex brand, engineered the MAC 25 as the all-round performer. The machine tows itself to your gate, hooks up within minutes, then walks the load into place while holding its rating out at distance.
Fewer repositions mean fewer wasted hours. Where a lighter machine forces you into two picks, this one usually does the job in a single move, and your program feels the difference by the knock-off. Send through your load details, and we will price it before the day is out.
Capacity That Reaches Further Than the Small Machines?
The MAC 25T is a mobile pick and carry crane, and the difference it makes on a working site comes down to five things:
- Twenty-five tonnes on the hook. Genuine lifting power without jumping to a heavier class.
- Rated further out. The chart holds up at distance, which cuts repositioning on open sites.
- Travels loaded. Pick the item up, walk it across, set it down—one movement.
- Registered for the road. It drives to your gate, so metro work rarely attracts a float charge.
- Gear travels with it. Boom, fly jib, hook block, winch and tagged rigging arrive on the machine.

Typical Jobs the MAC 25 Handles Around Victoria
Steel Erection
Beams, columns, portal frames and mezzanine steel raised into position across commercial warehouses and industrial construction projects.
Plant Installation
Production machinery walked in and seated precisely, including staged lifts through the doors of operating factories and food facilities.
Precast Panel Support
Backing up the primary crane on panel days, steadying each precast piece while bracing goes on and the connection is made.
Framing and Truss Sets
Wall frames and larger truss bundles dropped onto townhouse rows, apartment podiums and multi-unit developments right across the state.
Site Establishment
Sheds, site offices, containers, water tanks and concrete barriers positioned during the first week a project breaks ground.
Plant Recovery
Bogged excavators, failed machinery and dropped equipment retrieved quickly so your crews are not standing around waiting.
Beyond those six, the MAC 25 turns up on civil works, mining support, warehousing fitouts, logistics yards and manufacturing shutdowns throughout Victoria. Describe your load over the phone, and we will tell you straight whether this is the machine for it. Reach us on 0457 000 637.

What will a MAC 25T Franna cost me in Melbourne?
Pricing moves with how long you need it, how far we travel, ground conditions, and whether an operator comes along. Metro jobs usually dodge float charges since the crane drives itself in. Ring 0457 000 637 with your details for a firm number.
Where does the name MAC 25 come from?
It is simply the model designation Terex uses for the 25 tonne machine in its Franna line. Walk onto any decent-sized Australian site, and this is the pick and carry crane you are most likely to see parked up.
What sort of loads suit this machine?
Structural steel packages, factory equipment, precast panels, framing bundles, containers, tanks and recovery jobs all fall inside its working range. Ratings drop as the boom pushes out, which is why the chart travels with every quote.
Would I be better off with the 20T?
Depends entirely on your bottleneck. If getting the machine through a gap is the problem, take the 20T. If holding weight out at distance matters more, the MAC 25 is the one you want.
Is an operator included?
The 20T is the most compact, ideal for tight access and general lifting. The MAC 25T adds capacity and stability for medium to heavy lifts. The AT 40 is the largest pick and carry crane in the range, built for heavy steel, plant and equipment.
Can I keep it on site for a fortnight?
Plenty of builders do exactly that through a construction stage rather than booking each morning. Longer engagements attract better rates, so mention the duration when you enquire.
How far do you travel?
Every metro suburb, plus Geelong, Bacchus Marsh, Melton, Werribee, Ballarat and the surrounding Western Victoria towns. Sitting on the Western Freeway keeps our travel charges sensible from either direction.
When could the crane be on site?
Same day or first thing tomorrow for most metro and Geelong work, availability permitting. We answer the phone at any hour, so overnight and emergency jobs are handled the same way.
