Crane Hire Perth › Henderson
Crane hire in Henderson, home of the Australian Marine Complex: ship blocks, module load-outs, marine fabrication and the defence build-out now gathering pace, serviced with 800 tonne capacity and inducted crews.
Since 1974 · 60+ cranes · 2.93–800t · CICA member
Henderson is Australia’s western shipyard. The Australian Marine Complex concentrates around 150 marine, defence and resources businesses on Cockburn Sound, anchored by the 24/7 Common User Facility with its load-out wharves, fabrication halls and a floating dock that lifts 12,000 tonnes. Shipbuilders and sustainment crews work Collins-class submarines, frigates and patrol boats here, alongside module marshalling for mining and energy projects.
The next decade only adds to it: the Commonwealth has committed more than $12 billion to consolidate the Henderson Defence Precinct, with master planning and dry-dock design already under way. Joyce Krane supports this precinct from Kewdale with heavy all terrains, crawlers, engineered lift plans and crews who treat user agreements, inductions and exclusion zones as normal working conditions.
Every Henderson 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.
Henderson is about 33 km by road from our Kewdale yard, about 35 to 55 minutes via the Leach Highway and Stock Road. AMC work is planned to facility windows, with access arrangements sorted before mobilisation.

Crane hire in Henderson 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. At the marine complex the lift plan, facility access and engineering are quoted with the crane as one package, because that is how the precinct actually runs. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our Kewdale yard is quoted honestly for Henderson rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in Henderson 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 Cockburn is generally required, along with traffic control, and Main Roads WA approval can apply on classified roads. Work inside the Australian Marine Complex runs on the facility’s own access regime, including user agreements and the CUF induction, which we manage as part of the job alongside any council approvals outside the gate. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Perth yard at Kewdale is about 33 km by road from Henderson, about 35 to 55 minutes. Henderson is a planned 45 minute mobilisation from the yard, scheduled around facility and wharf windows. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers Henderson as well.
Tell us the load, the Henderson 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.
