Crane Hire in Footscray

Premier Cranes & Rigging offers a wide range of crane hire and related services to clients across the western suburbs of Melbourne, including Footscray, West Footscray, Seddon, Yarraville and Maribyrnong. 

Crane Fleet

For crane hire in Footscray, our fleet includes:

  • Franna: Pick-and-carry cranes are ideal for tight urban sites. The MAC25 provides 18.4m of full powered boom length and can operate without outriggers when space is limited.
  • Mobile: Our mobile crane fleet includes the LTM 1450-8.1 for heavy lifts. Multiple mobile cranes are available at 40-tonne, 60-tonne and 100-tonne capacities.
  • Crawler: Premier’s LR1350/1 provides sustained heavy lifting capability for large infrastructure projects. It is also suitable for sites with poor ground conditions or that cannot be easily re-positioned.

Do you need assistance with determining which crane is best for your job? Premier will assess your load, radius and site constraints to determine the most suitable crane.

Our Experience With Projects in Footscray

We’ve extended our crane services to these applications around Footscray.

Construction of High-Rise and Multi-Storey Developments

As a result of Footscray’s recent development, high rises are being built on former industrial lands. Premier can assist with structural steel, precast panels, the installation and dismantling of tower cranes, including complex urban sites with access restrictions and neighbouring buildings.

Hospital and Health Care Infrastructure

Premier has provided several crane packages to Multiplex for the construction of the New Footscray Hospital, including the dismantling of a Favco 390 tower crane at 91.6m tip height.

Major Infrastructure

We have experience in providing crane services on the West Gate Tunnel Project’s elevated road over Footscray Road. Premier has lifted 97-tonne bridge girders with our LR1350/1 crawler crane. We understand the level of coordination required to complete these tasks and work in close proximity to other live infrastructure.

Site Access and Planning 

Sites around Footscray commonly involve limited street access, overhead services, adjacent buildings and heritage issues. Premier will manage traffic flow for road closures and work with local councils on obtaining permits for each lift.

Each crane hire includes an initial site inspection and lift study conducted by Premier’s in-house engineering team, including load calculation, ground bearing, swing clearance and overhead hazard mapping. Comprehensive engineering documentation will be prepared for complex lifts to obtain approval from the principal contractor and council.

All cranes operated by Premier are maintained to meet Australian standards and CICA requirements. We are also triple ISO certified to 9001, 14001 and 45001.
