Crane Hire Sydney › Alexandria
Crane hire in Alexandria’s warehouse conversion belt and the Green Square renewal area: tight inner-city streets, rooftop plant, steel and the lifts terraces and laneways make interesting.
National since 1974 · Sydney depot at St Marys · 60+ cranes · 2.93–300t · CICA member
Alexandria has traded smokestacks for coffee roasters, but it is still a suburb of big sheds and hard lifts. Warehouse conversions and creative fitouts need steel, glazing and rooftop units placed inside heritage shells; the Green Square renewal keeps apartment buildings rising on the eastern edge; and the remaining industrial operators move machinery like they always have.
Inner-city conditions set the rules here: narrow one-way streets, awnings, street trees, bike lanes and City of Sydney permit requirements. Our city cranes are sized for exactly this, and our team handles the road occupancy and traffic control paperwork that most Alexandria lifts involve.
Every Alexandria job gets the smallest crane that does it safely, picked from the Sydney fleet at St Marys: 2.93 tonne mini cranes through to 300 tonne all terrains.
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.
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.
Alexandria is about 52 km by road from our depot, about 45 to 65 minutes via the M4 and M8. City of Sydney permit lead times usually set the schedule, so the crane is booked once the paperwork window is known.
St Marys depot · about 52 km by road to Alexandria
Crane hire in Alexandria 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. In Alexandria the street usually costs more than the lift: traffic control, permits and parking suspensions are the variables, and we price them upfront rather than as surprises. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our St Marys depot is quoted honestly for Alexandria rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in Alexandria usually needs no permit. If the crane must set up on a road, footpath or laneway, a road occupancy or standing plant approval from City of Sydney is generally required, along with traffic control, and Transport for NSW approval can apply on classified roads. The City of Sydney runs a structured approval process for cranes on public streets, including parking suspensions and traffic management plans, and lead times are longer than suburban councils. We prepare and lodge it all. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Sydney depot at St Marys is about 52 km by road from Alexandria, about 45 to 65 minutes. The run in is under an hour, but inner-city lifts are governed by permit windows, so Alexandria jobs are planned starts almost without exception. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers Alexandria as well.
Tell us the load, the Alexandria site and the timeline, and we’ll recommend the right crane and a safe, cost-effective plan to get it placed. Our Sydney team is at 11 Severn Street, St Marys NSW 2760.
