Emergency Hire
Most Perth jobs call for a mobile crane that can get on site, set up and lift without fuss. Our Perth fleet covers the full range of mobile crane hire, from compact pick-and-carry cranes that move under load through congested sites, to all-terrain cranes that travel at highway speed and lift hundreds of tonnes once rigged. Every crane is operated by a licensed, experienced crew, and every lift is planned around your access, ground conditions and load chart before the crane leaves Kewdale.
Because we run a deep fleet, we size the crane precisely to the job rather than sending whatever is free, keeping your hire cost down and your lift safe. For trades and builders who need a crane at short notice, we also offer 24/7 emergency crane hire for breakdowns, storm work and time-critical lifts across Perth.
One of the broadest crane fleets in Western Australia. Pick the type that suits your project, or let our team recommend the right machine.
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.
Our Kewdale depot puts us within easy reach of the entire Perth metropolitan area, plus regional WA below the 26th parallel.
First established in Karratha in 1974 and now run by founder Mick Joyce’s sons, James and Sean; a genuinely family-owned, Australian-owned business.
Lifting safely in WA conditions since 1974.
From 2.93 to 800 tonnes, so the crane is matched to the job — never oversized.
Every wet-hire lift comes with a qualified, experienced crew.
Certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 14001:2015, and a member of CICA.
Lift planning and special-lift review on hand for complex work.
Emergency and after-hours crane hire right across Perth.
Crane hire cost in Perth depends on the crane size you need, how long the lift takes, site access and travel distance, and whether you choose wet hire or dry hire. Most crane hire is booked with a minimum hire period, and travel or mobilisation from our Kewdale depot is usually factored into the total. If the lift affects a public road or footpath, a local council permit may also be required. The best way to control cost is to get the sizing right, so we recommend a quick site assessment and then a clear, no-obligation quote.
Wet hire means the crane comes with our licensed operator and crew, so you only need to supply the load, the right choice for most one-off lifts. Dry hire means you hire the crane on its own and supply your own ticketed operator, which suits established contractors who need a machine for a longer period.
The crane you need depends on the heaviest load, how high and how far it has to be lifted, and what the crane can be set up on. If you’re unsure, send us the details or book a site assessment and our team will recommend the smallest, safest crane for the work.
Many lifts legally require a licensed dogger or rigger to direct the load. When you book wet hire with Joyce Krane, we can supply the appropriately ticketed crew so your lift is compliant and safe.
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency crane hire across Perth for breakdowns, storm response and time-critical lifts. Call 1300 956 923 at any time.
For standard mobile crane hire, a few days’ notice usually secures the crane you need. For heavy lifts and multi-crane work that require engineering and permits, book as early as possible so the lift can be planned properly.
We service the full Perth metropolitan area from our Kewdale depot, plus regional Western Australia below the 26th parallel. Our wider network in Karratha, Onslow and Sydney supports projects further afield.
Insurance arrangements vary with the type of hire and the project. We’ll set out exactly what’s covered as part of your quote, so there are no surprises before the lift.
Tell us the load, the location and the timeline, and we’ll recommend the right crane and a safe, cost-effective plan to get it placed. Visit our Perth team at 455 Belmont Avenue, Kewdale.
