Crane Hire Perth › Forrestdale
Crane hire in Forrestdale’s new business park: tilt panels, portal frames and first-fit plant across one of Perth’s biggest greenfield industrial build-outs, with soft-ground setups planned properly.
Since 1974 · 60+ cranes · 2.93–800t · CICA member
Forrestdale is where Perth’s industrial map is growing. The Forrestdale Business Park, east and west stages bounded by Tonkin Highway, Armadale Road and Ranford Road, is turning paddocks into manufacturing, wholesale and logistics lots stage by stage, with names like Hitachi already established and DevelopmentWA’s Crossroads estate alongside. Greenfield construction is the work here: panels, frames and first-fit plant, then machinery as tenants move in.
New estates bring new-estate ground. Lots that were sand and fill last season need pads, mats and honest outrigger planning before anything heavy booms up, and lifts near Forrestdale Lake, an A-class nature reserve, can carry environmental conditions. We plan both as part of the job, not as surprises on the day.
Every Forrestdale 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.
Forrestdale is about 29 km by road from our Kewdale yard, about 25 to 40 minutes straight down the Tonkin Highway. Panel pours and steel days book as planned starts, with ground condition confirmed before the crane leaves the yard.

Crane hire in Forrestdale 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. On greenfield lots the ground drives the setup, so we quote with mats and positioning in mind rather than discovering soft fill on the morning. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our Kewdale yard is quoted honestly for Forrestdale rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in Forrestdale 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 City of Armadale is generally required, along with traffic control, and Main Roads WA approval can apply on classified roads. Airspace near Jandakot Airport is assessed job by job on taller lifts in this corridor, and work near the Forrestdale Lake reserve can carry environmental conditions, both of which we check as part of the lift plan. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Perth yard at Kewdale is about 29 km by road from Forrestdale, about 25 to 40 minutes. The Tonkin Highway puts Forrestdale about half an hour from the yard, an easy planned start for construction crews. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers Forrestdale as well.
Tell us the load, the Forrestdale 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.
