Crane Hire Sydney › North Sydney
Crane hire in the North Sydney CBD: tower plant swaps, facade and glazing lifts, comms equipment and the tightly permitted, out-of-hours windows that lower-north-shore streets demand.
National since 1974 · Sydney depot at St Marys · 60+ cranes · 2.93–300t · CICA member
North Sydney is a genuine CBD, and it lifts like one. Commercial towers around Miller and Walker Streets need plant replaced, facades maintained and comms gear landed on roofs; the precinct around the Victoria Cross Metro keeps redeveloping; and every one of those lifts happens over streets that carry serious traffic between two harbour crossings.
That makes North Sydney permit-and-planning country. Road occupancy approvals, traffic management, night and weekend windows and engineered lift plans are the normal course here, and our team runs that process end to end. The crane is the visible part; the approvals are where the job is won.
Every North Sydney 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.

Crane hire in North Sydney 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 the North Sydney CBD the road closure usually costs more than the crane: traffic control, permits and out-of-hours labour set the budget, and we quote them as one package so there are no surprises. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our St Marys depot is quoted honestly for North Sydney rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in North Sydney usually needs no permit. If the crane must set up on a road, footpath or laneway, a road occupancy or standing plant approval from North Sydney Council is generally required, along with traffic control, and Transport for NSW approval can apply on classified roads. North Sydney Council requires road occupancy approval and traffic management for street setups, and many lifts are conditioned to out-of-hours windows. Lead times are real, so bring us in early. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Sydney depot at St Marys is about 51 km by road from North Sydney, about 45 to 65 minutes. Travel is under an hour, but permits set the timetable in this CBD; plan North Sydney lifts weeks ahead, not days. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers North Sydney as well.
Tell us the load, the North Sydney 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.
