Emergency Hire
Most Sydney jobs call for a mobile crane that can get on site, set up and lift without fuss. Our Sydney fleet covers the full range of mobile crane hire from compact pick-and-carry cranes that move under load through congested sites, to all-terrain cranes that travel at highway speed and lift hundreds of tonnes once rigged. Every crane is operated by a licensed, experienced crew, and every lift is planned around your access, ground conditions and load chart before the crane leaves our St Marys yard.
Because we run a deep national fleet, we size the crane precisely to the job rather than sending whatever is free, which keeps your hire cost down and your lift safe. For trades and builders who need a crane at short notice, we also offer 24/7 emergency crane hire for breakdowns, storm work and time-critical lifts across Sydney.
One of the broadest crane fleets in the country. Pick the type that suits your project, or let our team recommend the right machine.
Reliable Franna cranes that pick a load and drive it across site, the workhorses of residential, commercial and yard work in tight Sydney spaces.
The top of our capacity range, including Liebherr models up to 300 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 and uneven sites where standard mobile cranes can’t work.
Sustained heavy lifting on the one site, with tracked stability for long-duration work.
Compact cranes, down to our 2.93-tonne mini, designed for restricted-access work in built-up parts of Sydney.
One of the first decisions on any project, and Joyce Krane offers both from Sydney.
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.
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 Sydney builders and project managers, that means you’re not just hiring a crane, you’re hiring the expertise to use it correctly.
From our St Marys base we support national customers and local contractors on infrastructure and construction projects across Greater Western Sydney.
Our St Marys depot puts us within easy reach of the entire Greater Western Sydney region and the wider Sydney metro.
First established in Karratha in 1974 and run by founder Mick Joyce’s sons, James and Sean; a family-owned, Australian-owned business that brought its fleet and experience to St Marys in 2019.
A Sydney depot backed by 50 years of lifting know-how across Australia.
From 2.93 to 300 tonnes, so the crane is matched to the job & never oversized.
The St Marys operation was built around heavy lift activities in NSW.
Every wet-hire lift comes with a qualified, experienced crew.
Certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 14001:2015, and a member of CICA.
Emergency and after-hours crane hire right across Sydney.
Crane hire cost in Sydney depends on the crane size you need, how long the lift takes, site access and travel distance, and whether you choose wet hire or dry hire. Most crane hire is booked with a minimum hire period, and travel or mobilisation from our St Marys depot is usually factored into the total. If the lift affects a public road or footpath, a council or RMS permit may also be required. The best way to control cost is to get the sizing right, so we recommend a quick site assessment before quoting.
Wet hire means the crane comes with our licensed operator and crew, so you only need to supply the load, the right choice for most one-off lifts. Dry hire means you hire the crane on its own and supply your own ticketed operator, which suits established contractors who need a machine for a longer period.
The crane you need depends on the heaviest load, how high and how far it has to be lifted, and what the crane can be set up on. If you’re unsure, send us the details or book a site assessment and our team will recommend the smallest, safest crane for the work.
Many lifts legally require a licensed dogger or rigger to direct the load. When you book wet hire with Joyce Krane, we can supply the appropriately ticketed crew so your lift is compliant and safe.
