Crane Hire Perth › Jandakot
Crane hire in Jandakot, the suburb built around Australia’s busiest general aviation airport: hangar steel, warehouse construction and airport-land lifting with the airspace approvals handled properly.

Jandakot lifts under a working sky. The airport sits entirely within the suburb, ringed by the Jandakot City logistics precinct and the business park off Prinsep Road, and every crane job here is shaped by that geography: protected airspace overhead, and on airport land itself, building approvals that run through the Commonwealth-appointed Airport Building Controller rather than the council.
That is not a complication for us, it is the local speciality. Cranes intruding into Jandakot’s protected airspace need a controlled-activity approval lodged with the airport around 28 days ahead, and we prepare those applications, design lifts under thresholds where possible, and carry the paperwork through so hangar steel, warehouse frames and rooftop plant go up on schedule.
Every Jandakot 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.
Jandakot is about 19 km by road from our Kewdale yard, about 20 to 35 minutes via the Leach Highway. Airside and airport-land lifts are planned starts because approvals set the timetable more than travel does.

Crane hire in Jandakot 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. Near the runways the permitted height often drives the crane choice, so we design the lift against the airspace surfaces first and quote a machine that will actually be approved. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our Kewdale yard is quoted honestly for Jandakot rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in Jandakot 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. Cranes entering Jandakot Airport’s protected airspace need a controlled-activity approval from the airport, lodged around 28 days ahead, and works on airport land are approved by the Airport Building Controller rather than the City of Cockburn. We manage both processes routinely. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Perth yard at Kewdale is about 19 km by road from Jandakot, about 20 to 35 minutes. The yard-to-Jandakot run is about 25 minutes; the real lead time is airspace paperwork, so bring us in early on anything tall. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers Jandakot as well.
Tell us the load, the Jandakot 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.
