Crane Hire Perth › Guildford
Crane hire in Guildford, gateway to the Swan Valley: heritage-street lifting done gently, hospitality and renovation work, and the airspace checks that come with living beside the airport.
Since 1974 · 60+ cranes · 2.93–800t · CICA member
Guildford is one of the Swan Valley’s oldest townsites, and it lifts like it: heritage streetscapes, mature trees, hospitality buildings and character homes where the crane has to respect the setting as much as the load. Roofing and renovation steel, kitchen and plant equipment for venues, spas into tight rear yards and tree work support make up the staple jobs.
Two local realities shape every plan. The first is care: heritage precinct conditions can apply to street setups, and old verges and tree canopies get walked before the crane is chosen. The second is overhead: Guildford sits within Perth Airport’s protected airspace, so taller lifts are checked against the airport’s requirements before the day. Both are routine for us, fifteen minutes up the road from Kewdale.
Every Guildford 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.
Guildford is about 11 km by road from our Kewdale yard, about 15 to 25 minutes up the Great Eastern Highway. Heritage-street lifts book as planned morning starts, with the setup walked or photographed first.

Crane hire in Guildford 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. In Guildford the setting drives the plan: narrow streets, verges and trees pick the crane, and a careful setup costs less than a repaired one. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our Kewdale yard is quoted honestly for Guildford rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in Guildford 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 Swan is generally required, along with traffic control, and Main Roads WA approval can apply on classified roads. Guildford’s heritage character means street setups can carry precinct conditions from the City of Swan, and the suburb sits within Perth Airport’s protected airspace, so taller lifts are checked against the airport’s requirements. We manage both as part of the booking. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Perth yard at Kewdale is about 11 km by road from Guildford, about 15 to 25 minutes. Fifteen minutes from the yard, Guildford is an easy run; the planning care is what sets its jobs apart, not the distance. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers Guildford as well.
Tell us the load, the Guildford 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.
