Crane Hire Perth › Northam
Crane hire in Northam and the Avon Valley: grain and agricultural infrastructure, town projects and Wheatbelt lifting, staged up the Great Eastern Highway from Perth with proper regional planning.
Since 1974 · 60+ cranes · 2.93–800t · CICA member
Northam is the Wheatbelt’s front door: the Avon Valley’s main town, a historic rail junction, and the service hub where the Great Eastern Highway leaves the metro behind. The lifting country out here is agricultural and civic, grain and storage infrastructure, machinery sheds, tanks, town-centre building work and the utility and telecoms lifts that keep a working region connected.
We stage Northam work from Kewdale up the Great Eastern Highway, a corridor our oversize permits already cover, and plan it the regional way: everything confirmed before the crane leaves, several lifts grouped where possible, and early starts that beat the heat and the harvest traffic both.
Every Northam job gets the right crane for the lift, picked from the Perth fleet at our Kewdale yard: 2.93 tonne mini cranes through to 800 tonne heavy lift.
Reliable Franna cranes that pick a load and drive it across site, the workhorses of residential, commercial and yard work in tight spaces.
The top of our capacity range, including Liebherr models up to 800 tonnes. Road mobility plus serious lifting height and radius for major work.
Quick set-up and good reach, with the load and the crane arriving together on the one vehicle.
Tadano cranes purpose-built for unsealed, uneven and remote WA sites where standard mobile cranes can’t work.
Sustained heavy lifting on the one site, with tracked stability for long-duration work.
Compact cranes built for restricted-access work in built-up parts of Perth.
One of the first decisions on any project, and Joyce Krane offers both from Perth.
What we call taxi crane hire: the crane arrives with our own licensed operator and crew. The simplest, safest option for most one-off lifts.
You hire the crane and supply your own appropriately licensed operator. Best for established contractors needing a machine for an extended period.
A major strength of our Perth operation is the Joyce Krane Heavy Lift Division, based in Kewdale and operating Australia-wide. It runs high-capacity Liebherr all-terrain cranes including the LG 1800 and LTM 1750-9.1 at 800 tonnes, the LG 1750 at 750 tonnes and the LTM 1400-2.1 at 400 tonnes.
This is the fleet behind genuinely complex work: our teams have lifted over two hundred bridge beams and installed around three hundred wind turbine generators across construction, infrastructure, maritime and renewable projects. If your project sits beyond standard mobile crane capacity, talk to us early.
Heavy lifts reward planning.
Every Joyce Krane lift is backed by our in-house engineering team. Our engineers help you work through the craneage requirements of an upcoming special lift or future project.
They provide an unbiased, third-party review with clear recommendations, procedures and methodology designed to make the lift safer and more efficient. For Perth builders and project managers, that means you’re not just hiring a crane, you’re hiring the expertise to use it correctly.
Fifty years of lifting in some of Australia’s toughest environments. Trusted by major operators including Chevron, Rio Tinto and BHP.
Northam is about 93 km by road from our Kewdale yard, about 1.5 to 2 hours up the Great Eastern Highway. Avon Valley jobs are planned mobilisations with the paperwork and route sorted before the day.

Crane hire in Northam is priced on the crane size, how long the lift takes, site access, and whether you need wet hire (crane with our licensed crew) or dry hire. Wheatbelt mobilisations are quoted as a package, and pairing lifts across a district, or timing around harvest, keeps the travel working for you rather than against you. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our Kewdale yard is quoted honestly for Northam rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in Northam usually needs no permit. If the crane must set up on a road, footpath or laneway, a road occupancy or standing plant approval from the Shire of Northam is generally required, along with traffic control, and Main Roads WA approval can apply on classified roads. Oversize and overmass movements up the Great Eastern Highway run under Main Roads WA permits, which we hold and manage as part of every regional job. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Perth yard at Kewdale is about 93 km by road from Northam, about 1.5 to 2 hours. Northam is a planned run of about an hour and a half from the yard, booked ahead, with the crane arriving set-up-ready. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers Northam as well.
Tell us the load, the Northam site and the timeline, and we’ll recommend the right crane and a safe, cost-effective plan to get it placed. Our Perth team is at 455 Belmont Avenue, Kewdale WA 6105.
