Lorry Mounted Crane Hire
Precision loader crane work without mobile crane costs — operated lifts for machinery, materials and awkward set-downs anywhere in the UK.
Why Lorry Mounted Crane Hire Makes Sense
A mobile crane needs transport to site, room to rig and a budget to match. A loader crane arrives on the back of the lorry, sets up in minutes and gets to work — making it the smart choice for the thousands of everyday lifts that fall between a forklift and a 50-tonne crane.
- Fast setup — lifting within minutes of arrival
- Small footprint for streets, yards and tight compounds
- Trained operators plan and execute every lift
- Transport and lifting on a single invoice
From Concrete Rings to Roof Steel
Recent loader crane jobs include concrete ring sections lowered into excavations, steel frames raised to first-floor level, kiosks placed over fencing and machinery shifted between workshop bays.
Every lift is different, which is why a conversation beats a form: call us, describe the pick and the set-down, and we will tell you within minutes whether a truck mounted crane is the right answer.

Planned, Rated, Recorded
Lifting is unforgiving of shortcuts. Our cranes are regularly inspected, our lifting accessories are rated and tagged, and our operators check ground conditions and exclusion zones before any load leaves the deck.
If a lift cannot be done safely with the equipment on the day, it does not happen — we would rather rearrange than take a risk with your property or our people.
How We WorkCommon Questions
When should I choose lorry mounted crane hire over a mobile crane?
When the load is within a loader crane's capacity and reach, a lorry mounted crane is usually faster and significantly cheaper — it needs no separate transport, no lengthy setup and a much smaller footprint on site. For very heavy or very high lifts, a mobile crane is the right tool and we will tell you honestly if that is the case.
How much can a loader crane lift?
Capacity depends on the crane model and how far the boom is extended — the further the reach, the lower the safe working load. Give us the weight of your item and the distance from where the vehicle can park, and we will confirm whether our equipment can do the lift.
Do your operators plan the lift?
Yes. Our drivers assess ground conditions, set outriggers, select the right lifting gear and carry out the lift to a plan. For complex jobs we will discuss the details with you before the day.
Can you lift over walls and fences?
Often, yes — reaching over obstacles is exactly what loader cranes are good at. Access, reach and weight all factor in, so send us a photo of the site and we will confirm quickly.
