Universal Cranes has a fleet of 200 cranes ranging from 3T to 750T, including minicranes, Frannas, all-terrains, crawler cranes and lattice boom truck cranes. Our fleet is available for wet or dry and casual or term hire. We service all sized jobs, from small residential and commercial lifts to major construction and infrastructure projects, as well in process or refinery facilities for resources and energy clients.

As one of Australia’s largest privately-owned crane hire companies, Universal Cranes make it our business to deliver any lift, anywhere, any time. Our fleet of minicranes, Frannas, all-terrains, crawler cranes and lattice boom truck cranes are available for wet or dry and casual or term hire. From conducting lift studies to designing complex lift solutions, through to in-house maintenance and rebuilds, we have the expertise to support your team through every step of your job.

Universal Cranes began as a family crane hire business in 1993. While we have grown to become a national crane hire company, local families still own and operate our branches throughout Queensland and New South Wales. This enables us to maintain a small business service culture while providing our clients with a national high capacity fleet.
