Franna crane hire
Our Franna cranes
Ranges Rigging runs two Franna pick and carry cranes: a 12 tonne and a 25 tonne Franna (safe working load). A Franna can lift a load and drive with it on the hook, so it can move things around a site, not just lift them in one spot.
A crane's rated capacity drops as the boom reaches further out. The right Franna for your job depends on the weight of the load and how far it has to go, and we work that out with you before the lift.
- 12t Franna 12 tonne safe working load. Pick and carry. Suits lighter lifts and tighter sites.
- 25t Franna 25 tonne safe working load. Pick and carry. For heavier loads and longer reach.
What we use them for
- Loading and unloading trucks
- Shipping container positioning
- Steel, trusses and building supplies
- Machinery and plant moves
- Tiny homes, cabins and sheds
- Boat lifting

FAQ
Franna crane hire: questions people ask
What is a Franna crane?
A Franna is an Australian articulated pick and carry crane. It can lift a load and drive with it on the hook, so it can carry loads around a site as well as lift them.
What size Franna cranes do you have?
Two: a 12 tonne and a 25 tonne Franna (safe working load). What a crane can lift on your site depends on how far it has to reach, so tell us the weight and where the load is going.
Should I hire the 12t or the 25t Franna?
It depends on the weight of the load and the reach. Send the weight, a few photos and the access details, and we'll tell you which crane suits the lift.
Do your Franna cranes come with an operator?
Yes. Our cranes come with an operator. Riggers and dogmen are provided when required. We can also facilitate traffic management, coordinate local council permits and arrange electrical spotting.
How much does Franna hire cost?
It depends on the crane, the time on site, the access and the distance. Send the job details and a few photos, or call 0414 649 934, and we'll call back with a quote.
