Crane Hire Sydney › Richmond
Crane hire for Richmond and the Hawkesbury: farm sheds, water tanks, trusses and machinery across the river flats, with a depot at St Marys close enough to keep country-sized jobs affordable.
National since 1974 · Sydney depot at St Marys · 60+ cranes · 2.93–300t · CICA member
Richmond mixes town and country like nowhere else we service: a working RAAF base, the university campus, an established town centre, and river-flat acreage running out through Agnes Banks and across to Londonderry. Crane work follows the same pattern, trusses and steel in town, sheds, stables and water tanks on acreage, and machinery for the sand and turf operations along the river.
We run north from St Marys in about 25 minutes, so Hawkesbury customers get metro response without metro travel bills. Long driveways, dams, soft paddocks and overhead lines are everyday considerations here, and our operators plan for them rather than discovering them.
Every Richmond 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.
Richmond is about 20 km by road from our depot, about 20 to 35 minutes north through Londonderry. That is close enough for a morning tank lift to be back-to-back with an afternoon truss job in town.

Crane hire in Richmond 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. Acreage lifts live or die on access: driveway width, gate heights, ground condition and powerlines. A few photos with your enquiry and the quote will match the day. Most bookings run on a minimum hire period, and travel from our St Marys depot is quoted honestly for Richmond rather than padded. Call 1300 956 923 for a fixed price.
Lifting from private property in Richmond usually needs no permit. If the crane must set up on a road, footpath or laneway, a road occupancy or standing plant approval from Hawkesbury City Council is generally required, along with traffic control, and Transport for NSW approval can apply on classified roads. Note that airspace around RAAF Base Richmond carries height restrictions, so lifts near the base may need extra planning, which we handle as part of the lift study. We arrange the permits, traffic management and lift plan as part of the job.
Our Sydney depot at St Marys is about 20 km by road from Richmond, about 20 to 35 minutes. Richmond is a 25 minute run from the yard, and rural jobs are usually booked as relaxed morning starts once access is confirmed. For urgent and after-hours work, our 24/7 emergency crane service covers Richmond as well.
Tell us the load, the Richmond 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.
