What We Can Provide When You Need a Melbourne Crane

To help you better understand which mobile cranes you need, consider the following brief list of the cranes we can provide and what they can do:


  • We have an option for a mini crawler. These cranes can handle jobs in tighter spaces than many other cranes, making them the ideal pick for all-round lifting on site.
  • If you need to move loads around on the worksite, consider our pick and carry cranes. These do not have stabiliser legs which makes them ideal for picking up weights and carrying them small distances.
  • If you need something heavy-duty, consider our all-terrain cranes. These are perfect for both on-road and off-road jobs and can handle the heaviest demands.

A Brief History of Cranes and Our Crane Service in Melbourne

Cranes have come an exceptionally long way since its initial conception as far back as 1500 BC. There have been many changes to the design to increase its capacity for carrying heavy loads and with our team you get to see the best of those changes. To help you understand just how amazing these inventions are, consider the following:


  • The idea of cranes come from pulley systems, which the ancient Mesopotamians first designed as far back as 1500 BC. These pulley systems were basic but allowed lifting something to great heights using a rudimentary machine. These were not compound pulleys, meaning the weight it could handle tied the force input.
  • It was not until around 350 years later that Archimedes of Syracuse designed the first system for a compound pulley. These pulleys were much more efficient since they could lift more than the force exerted thanks to the design itself. For every additional pulley, the system could handle weight equal to the force input, meaning that a force input of 50kg could lift 100kg with a two-pulley system.
  • Many years later, in the 15th century, Blaise Pascal invented the first hydraulic press, which would become the foundation for modern hydraulic-based cranes. Before that time, everything was either hand- or wheel-operated.
