Crane Hire Perth › Kwinana
Heavy crane hire for the Kwinana Industrial Area: shutdown support, plant changeouts, bulk-terminal work and the decommissioning lifts reshaping the strip, with all terrains to 800 tonnes and crews built for inducted sites.
Since 1974 · 60+ cranes · 2.93–800t · CICA member
The Kwinana Industrial Area is Western Australia’s heavy-industry heartland, a chain of process plants along Cockburn Sound that has traded feedstocks and utilities between neighbours since 1955. Today that means ammonia and fertiliser production at CSBP, pigment at Tronox, battery-grade lithium at Covalent, the new waste-to-energy plant, desalination, gas and bulk terminals, all running the inductions, permits and exclusion zones serious sites demand.
It is also a strip in transition. With the former refinery sites being decommissioned and cleared for redevelopment, demolition support and heavy salvage lifts now sit alongside the classic shutdown work. Joyce Krane brings 50 years of resources-industry lifting, cranes to 800 tonnes and in-house engineering to both sides of that story.
Every Kwinana 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.
The Kwinana strip is about 38 km by road from our Kewdale yard, about 35 to 55 minutes down the Leach Highway and Kwinana Freeway. Shutdown campaigns are planned mobilisations, and for multi-week windows the crane stays on site rather than commuting.

Crane hire in Kwinana 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. Kwinana work is quoted as a package: engineered lift plans, inducted crew and the crane sized to the chart, because on this strip the paperwork is as real as the lift. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our Kewdale yard is quoted honestly for Kwinana rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in Kwinana 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 Kwinana is generally required, along with traffic control, and Main Roads WA approval can apply on classified roads. Most Kwinana lifts run inside operating facilities under the site’s own permit-to-work system, and work around the bulk terminals falls under Fremantle Ports access rules, with MSIC-carded crews where required. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Perth yard at Kewdale is about 38 km by road from Kwinana, about 35 to 55 minutes. We plan Kwinana as a scheduled mobilisation with inductions squared away before the day, and 24/7 coverage holds for breakdown lifts. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers Kwinana as well.
Tell us the load, the Kwinana 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.
