Crane Hire for Tree Companies
Some trees cannot be dismantled the usual way. They hang over a roof, sit in a backyard with no access, or are too far gone to climb safely. A crane takes each section straight up and out, and sets it down where your crew can process it.
We hire our crane and operator to other tree companies across Sydney’s north. Bruce has run The Tree Cutting Company since 2004, so the person on the controls already knows how tree work runs.
Why choose us
Crane-assisted removals go well when the operator and the climber read the tree the same way. That is hard to get from a general crane hire company.
You keep your client, your crew and your job. We supply the crane and the operator for the hours you need.

An operator who knows trees
Bruce works with arborists every week and understands how timber behaves when it comes off the stem.
Compact for backyards
The Tadano 13 tonne city crane fits narrow streets and driveways that larger cranes cannot set up in.
Less time in the tree
Bigger sections come out in fewer cuts, which shortens the job and keeps your climber out of risky positions.
Your job stays yours
We work as your subcontractor for the lift. Your customer deals with you.
On the hook

Typical jobs other tree companies bring us in for:
