Wet hire
Crane plus an experienced operator, dogman and lift plan. Turn up, lift, done.
Wet hire, dry hire and lifting crews who know construction sequencing, site constraints and how to keep a live job moving. Frannas to 130T slew, backed by people who have stood where you're standing.
Short-term lifts or a crane parked on your project for months. Civil, commercial and infrastructure works, with the crew to match.
Crane plus an experienced operator, dogman and lift plan. Turn up, lift, done.
Well-maintained cranes supplied to your competent crew, on flexible terms.
Operators, dogmen and riggers supplied labour-only to run your plant.
Ticketed, competent operators who read a site, not just a load chart.
Sling, direct and communicate every lift safely and productively.
Basic to advanced rigging for structural steel, precast and awkward lifts.
On longer-term projects we offer discounted rates. Where a crane can remain on site for the duration, you avoid repeated mobilisation and demobilisation charges — just the original mob to site and the final demob off.
General hire crane rates or labour-only rates, depending on what the project needs. Tell us the scope and we'll price it straight.
Lyft Crane Hire is a dedicated crane hire business. Cranes and lifting crews are all we do. We established the company in 2022 after spotting a gap in the market: plenty of businesses could supply plant, but few could supply practical on-site understanding with it.
Our people come from a strong civil construction background, so we know projects benefit from operators and lifting personnel who understand more than the machine — construction sequencing, site constraints, safety requirements, and how to work productively alongside builders, supervisors and civil crews. That site knowledge is what sets Lyft apart.
Our focus is safe, reliable and flexible lifting solutions, backed by experienced people who understand live construction environments and the importance of keeping works moving.
Modern, well-maintained cranes sized for civil, commercial and infrastructure work. Detailed specifications available on request.
Nimble, road-registered and fast to mobilise. Ideal for tight sites and everyday lifts.
Extra capacity with the same manoeuvrability. The workhorse of civil and precast jobs.
Reach and lift for structural steel, culverts, bridge components and plant installs.
Heavy lifts on infrastructure and commercial projects with the radius to match.
