Do you need to move heavy items in tight spaces? United Crane Services in Perth can help. Our mobile crane range offers excellent lifting capacity and is perfect for fast jobs in small spaces.
Available in three types (hydraulic boom cranes, lattice boom cranes, and pick-and-carry cranes), some mobile cranes can carry loads while moving (known as mobiling).
Hydraulic boom cranes
An internal hydraulic system powers these cranes. They are perfect for lifting shipping containers or performing maintenance work on bridges, roadways or other large buildings.
Lattice boom cranes
Lattice boom cranes can lift heavy loads. Their structure allows long boom lengths and high capacity so that they can move quickly and easily on and between sites.
Pick and carry cranes
A non-slewing mobile or ‘pickup and carry crane’ incorporates a boom or jib you can’t slew. A slewing mobile crane’s boom or jib can be slewed but doesn’t include earth-moving equipment (front-end loader, backhoe, or excavator) configured for crane operation. A franna crane is a type of ‘pick and carry’ crane designed to travel on public roads. Franna cranes have stabiliser legs or outriggers that pop out to keep the body stable.
Advantages of mobile cranes:
- Flexibility and moveability
- Easy set up
- Strong
- Tough
- Can operate in small spaces

Small Footprint
A mobile crane is far less hassle to squeeze through narrow roads and easy to drive. You won’t have to block off any roads and create extra unnecessary traffic.
Fast Setup
A faster setup time means you can complete jobs earlier, saving significant money in the long run.
Convenient
Quick to transport and fast to maneuver, you can use mobile cranes on various surfaces.
Strong
While smaller than other crane types, mobile cranes offer outstanding strength. Mobile cranes’ heavy-duty axles and hydraulic power can lift heavy materials to the necessary heights in the safest, most efficient way possible.
Cost-Effective Solution
Hiring a mobile crane for your next construction job is the most cost-effective solution saving you from hue upfront costs to buy.
- Truck-mounted mobile cranes: Truck-mounted cranes have two parts: the carrier (truck) and the boom (arm). They travel quickly on the road and possess counterweights and outriggers for stabilisation. These allow them to move while carrying large loads.
- All-terrain mobile crane: ranges from 40 to 1,000 tons, reaching heights of up to 500 feet, offering power and precision. Built to handle harsh site conditions, these cranes provide comfort and ease for operators. Even though all-terrain cranes are compact, they offer exceptional visibility. The operator has a clear sightline from the cab, allowing safe use.
- Rough terrain mobile crane: compact and maneuverable with robust construction and high torque multiplicity, rough terrain cranes can get into tight spaces. Modern models have the highest possible standard safety features on a rough terrain crane.
- Crawler mobile cranes: due to their all-terrain chassis, crawler mobile cranes are ideal for public and off-road travel. The essential advantage of the crawler crane is that it is quick to operate on soft ground compared to other classes of cranes.
- Stiff boom mobile crane: stiff boom mobile cranes use a hydraulic winch raised or lowered by the boom to lift materials. The operator can rotate the crane’s boom to move materials from one location to another. Stiff boom cranes only lift materials straight up and down, so they are ideal for gently placing loads on the worksite and suspending heavy loads in the air for long periods.
- Folding boom mobile crane: The folding boom crane has two booms (a main boom and an outer boom), attached by a knuckle that allows the entire structure to move in and out. A folding crane’s mobility lets an operator clear the payload from the deck. You can load and unload your truck, then use the crane’s reach and strength to lift the materials to the required onsite location.
Benefits of mobile cranes
One of the most significant benefits mobile cranes offers is their flexibility and movability, mainly when multiple obstructions exist. Mobile cranes can access narrow passages and sites with limited space, making them a practical solution for many job sites. Modern cranes are evolving to cater to even the most challenging job site work.
