Truck Mounted Cranes

The “Taxi Cranes” of the fleet. Fast to arrive, fast to set up, and cost-effective. Perfect for quick lifts, truss placement, and general construction jobs where speed matters.

Fast. Efficient. Road Ready.

Truck Mounted Cranes (often called “Taxi Cranes”) are designed for speed. Unlike larger all-terrain cranes that require heavy transport support, these cranes drive to your site at highway speeds and set up in minutes.


They are the perfect middle-ground: they offer the long reach of a telescopic mobile crane but with the mobility of a standard truck. If you need a quick lift, like placing a spa over a house or lifting trusses, this is the most economical choice.

What We Lift

House Trusses

Lifting timber roof trusses and frames quickly for residential builders.

Steel Beams
