Chat with us

To best know how we can help, we’d love to know the following:

  • When you reach out, tell us about the scope of works you require, whether it be cranage, installation support, delivery or project management.

    The more details you can provide about the load, the better. Tell us about the weight, size and shape, and what it’s made from. If it’s fragile or hazardous in any way, the sooner we know, the better we can prepare.

  • Whether you require us to attend one site or more, we’ll need to know what site access is like.

    Tell us about street access, ground conditions, overhead powerlines, overhanging trees, and any other obstacles that may be in our way.

    If other trades will be present on site, we’ll need them to give us ample space to conduct our job smoothly and safely.

  • Lastly, let us know if it’s a one-off job or a project that spans across days or weeks.

    And of course, what time frame we’re working with. The more notice we receive, the better.

What our clients say

  • Anthony is a very well organised, professional operator and got the job done without any stress and in a friendly timely manor. Highly recommend his services for any crane lift job, big or small. Great communicator and you can’t go past his pricing.

    Charles Cauchie

  • Anthony was extremely friendly and helpful in getting my milling machine moved from a factory into my little home shed. Excellent work and a great price. Highly recommended.

    Magnus Andersson

  • Anthony just delivered a container to our rural property and could not have been more professional, conscientious, and friendly despite it being a relatively complicated job. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cope Crane Trucks to anyone looking for a crane truck. THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH 🙏 …

    Jezz de Silva

  • Anthony’s meticulous understanding of rigging and lifting compliments the heavy machine that he has used to move several of my machining centers over the last years. His presentation and punctuality combined with his ability to navigate difficult lifts in tight locations makes him my first point of reference for any of our relocation lifts. I would highly recommend him and his rig for any future lifts as you know the job will done properly, safely and in a timely manner.

    Mecha Lec

  • Last month I had Cope Crane Trucks transport and install and corten steel sign weighing close to 1000kg. The job at hand was anything but straight forward and without the technical skills and professionalism brought to the table by Anthony, the job simply would not have been completed on the day. Lifesaver! Highly recommend and I will be a return customer for any future projects.

    Oliver Lodge

  • Delivered our swimming pool, excellent, right on time friendly service, good communication.. Dropped our pool right in nice and gentle.

    Ron Roszczyk

  • There needs to be more people like Anthony. Nothing was too much trouble, even at late notice - he got it done. I would give 7 stars if possible.

    Phoenix Goozee

  • We were extremely happy with the service provided by Cope Crane Trucks. They were very easy to deal with, friendly and careful and well-priced. We had a tricky lift to get a large spa into our garden, but all went very well. Highly recommend.

FAQs

What types of crane trucks do you offer?

At Cope Crane Trucks, we utilise an ISUZU crane truck with a 28m Effer rear-mounted crane. Day to day, our crane truck has ample reach and capacity to safely and efficiently complete our clients’ jobs. 

For projects that require larger capacity equipment, we liaise with trusted professionals within our diverse network and project manage all transportation and cranage for you to ensure the job runs smoothly.

What is your availability like?

Like many other small businesses, no day looks the same, and therefore our availability differs. We encourage our clients to book their jobs in two weeks in advance, but understand that’s not always possible. If you’re on a tight deadline, we’ll do our best to work in with you and ensure the job gets done.

What is your operator’s experience and certification?

Anthony, our primary crane operator, has over ten year’s experience in the field. He is a licensed crane operator, and ticketed rigger, dogmen and electrical spotter.

What safety measures are in place?

Safety is a non-negotiable in our practice, which is why we champion safety on and off the job site.

We ensure our equipment is certified and in great working condition. We regularly service our truck and crane, and quality control our equipment, such as chains and slings, to make certain nothing is faulty or damaged.

Onsite, we follow strict safety protocols when setting up and operating the crane. If needed, we’ll organise traffic control to keep our team, your team and passersby out of harm's way.

Are your cranes inspected and certified?

Yes, we only operate crane trucks that are in certification and are regularly serviced and inspected by qualified mechanics and technicians.

What are your requirements for setup and operation on-site?

Prior to us arriving onsite, we’ll need to know your site conditions. This includes variables such as ground stability, overhanging trees, street access and site access to name a few. 

We’ll also need the site to be cleared for us to set up in the most optimal position. If other trades are working onsite, we require clean, clear site access with all other personnel a safe distance away from our operation.
