Executing heavy or high-altitude lifting requires specialized machinery, rigorous planning, and absolute precision. Coordinating separate mobile crane hire firms alongside transport companies and site equipment suppliers frequently leads to communication breakdowns, misaligned arrival schedules, and costly on-site delays.
Loader Construction Engineering Ltd provides reliable, fully managed mobile crane and HIAB hire services based right here in Masterton. Our fleet ranges from compact 10-tonne city cranes up to heavy-duty 35-tonne mobile rigs, complemented by versatile HIAB crane trucks designed to load, haul, and place cargo independently. By managing your lifting, transport, and safety requirements under one roof, we eliminate coordination stress, reduce project overheads, and ensure every lift is executed flawlessly.
No two lifts are identical, which is why we maintain a diverse selection of high-performance mobile cranes and specialized HIAB trucks tailored to the specific constraints of local jobsites.
Our core crane fleet varies from 10-tonne to 35-tonne capacities, ensuring we can match the scale and weight demands of your exact project:
10-Tonne City Crane: A highly compact, exceptionally maneuverable mobile crane designed for tight residential builds and confined urban job sites. Its small footprint makes it ideal for working down narrow driveways or positioning materials close to existing structures.
13-Tonne City Crane: Combining a compact footprint with enhanced lifting capacity, this agile mobile crane provides excellent vertical reach while navigating sites with limited spatial clearance.
Mid-Range Mobile Crane: Engineered for general construction, commercial framing setups, and agricultural structural lifting, this workhorse balances excellent reach with robust stability.
35-Tonne Heavy Mobile Crane: Our largest lifting asset, designed for maximum capacity and heavy industrial engineering tasks. This rig is capable of raising massive structural steel frameworks, pre-cast concrete sections, and heavy factory machinery with absolute precision.
When you need to transport heavy cargo and unload it without hiring a separate crane, our HIAB fleet provides the ultimate all-in-one solution:
Standard Flatbed HIAB Truck: Ideal for general haulage, delivering palletized building materials, structural timber packs, or engineering components straight to site and placing them accurately over fences or boundary lines.
Heavy-Duty HIAB Lorry Loader: Designed for larger payloads, this truck combines immense deck capacity with a high-torque hydraulic boom crane, making it the perfect vehicle for picking up, moving, and positioning heavy site infrastructure and industrial plant equipment.
The weight a crane can lift depends heavily on several critical on-site environmental factors. To help our Masterton team allocate the perfect machine and ensure a seamless operation, please have the following information ready when making your inquiry:
Weight of the Load: What is the maximum estimated weight of the object being lifted?
Dimensions of the Object: What are the physical dimensions (length, width, and height) of the cargo?
The Working Radius: How far away will the center of the crane be parked from the spot where the object is being picked up, and how far forward must it reach to place it?
Required Lift Height: How high does the object need to be raised (e.g., onto a second-story slab or over an existing roofline)?
Site Ground Conditions: Is the setup area flat concrete, gravel, asphalt, or soft, unpaved earth?
Overhead Obstacles: Are there any nearby power lines, trees, or structural overhangs that could restrict the movement of the telescopic boom?
Need a Site Check? If your lift is highly complex or you are unsure about the spatial measurements, one of our experienced drivers can visit your site in person to audit the area and plan the setup perfectly.
We don’t just lift—we manage your complete site logistics. Explore our supporting hire options designed to combine with our crane fleet for complete operational efficiency:
Scissor Lift Hire: Perfect for providing a stable, vertically rising aerial work platform for construction workers, electrical contractors, or internal engineering assembly teams.
Telehandler / Telelift Hire: The ultimate rough-terrain material handling asset, featuring a telescopic arm to carry heavy pallets and place materials directly into tight, elevated spaces.
Crane Man Cage Hire: Fully safety-certified, suspended personnel work baskets engineered to integrate seamlessly with our city cranes for high-access structural installations and asset inspections.
Heavy Transporter Haulage: Low-loader ramp transport vehicles purpose-built for moving tracked crawler cranes, heavy excavators, and oversized civil construction plant gear.
Pilot Vehicle Services: Certified Class 1 and Class 2 escort vehicles equipped with regulatory safety gear to clear public roads and manage live traffic ahead of large machinery transfers.
