Crane Hire Perth › O’Connor
Crane hire in O’Connor, Fremantle’s working industrial suburb: workshop machinery, trade equipment and rooftop plant along Stock Road’s retail strip, lifted in tight 1950s streets.
Since 1974 · 60+ cranes · 2.93–800t · CICA member
O’Connor is a genuine working suburb: fewer than five hundred residents and a grid of light industry that has run since 1955, named for the engineer C. Y. O’Connor. Carrington Street carries the workshops and trade businesses, while Stock Road stacks big-box retail, Bunnings, furniture and auto outlets, along one of the port’s busiest freight routes.
The lifting reflects it: machinery through roller doors, workshop equipment, rooftop plant onto retail sheds, signage and shopfitting, all inside an estate whose streets were drawn tight in the fifties. City cranes and Frannas from Kewdale do most of O’Connor’s work, with traffic management on Stock Road planned rather than improvised.
Every O’Connor 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.
O’Connor is about 21 km by road from our Kewdale yard, about 25 to 35 minutes straight down the Leach Highway, which conveniently ends where the suburb begins. Morning starts beat the port freight traffic.

Crane hire in O’Connor 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. O’Connor’s older streets decide the crane more often than the load does, so a photo of the frontage keeps every quote sharp. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our Kewdale yard is quoted honestly for O’Connor rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in O’Connor 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 Fremantle is generally required, along with traffic control, and Main Roads WA approval can apply on classified roads. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Perth yard at Kewdale is about 21 km by road from O’Connor, about 25 to 35 minutes. One straight run down the Leach Highway makes O’Connor an easy same-day suburb for us. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers O’Connor as well.
Tell us the load, the O’Connor 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.
