Franna (Pick-and-Carry) Crane Hire
Franna crane hire for projects where loads need to be lifted and moved, not just picked and placed.
This service is designed for industrial sites, infrastructure projects, emergency breakdowns, and fast-moving jobs where downtime is not an option.
When a Franna Crane Is the Right Choice
Franna cranes are purpose-built for dynamic sites where stopping work to reposition a crane creates delays, cost, or safety risk.
This service is commonly used when:
- Heavy equipment needs to be relocated across a site
- Loads must be transported after lifting
- Setup time needs to be kept to a minimum
- The site remains operational during the lift
- Access allows vehicle movement but not outrigger deployment
If the job requires repeated static lifts from one position, a mobile crane may be more suitable.
What Pick-and-Carry Capability Changes
Unlike traditional cranes, a Franna crane can lift a load and carry it to its final position without resetting.
This means:
- Fewer crane movements and less congestion on site
- Faster completion of multi-point lifts
- Reduced interaction with other trades
- Lower disruption to live operations
- More control during machinery relocations
This is especially valuable on industrial and infrastructure sites where time and access are tightly controlled.
Typical Franna Crane Applications
Franna crane hire is regularly used for:
Industrial & infrastructure
- Machinery relocation and repositioning
- Plant and equipment changeovers
- Emergency breakdown response
- Site establishment and demobilisation
Construction & commercial
- Moving site sheds, containers, and amenities
- Structural components across large sites
- Night works and shutdown periods
The service is often scheduled out-of-hours to minimise operational impact.
Safety, Planning & Live-Site Control
Pick-and-carry lifts involve movement, which increases risk if poorly managed.
Every Franna lift includes:
- Lift planning matched to load weight and travel path
- Ground condition and slope assessment
- Exclusion zones and movement controls
- Coordination with site supervisors and other trades
This planning prevents load instability, clashes, and on-site delays.
Why This Service Is Not a Substitute for a Mobile Crane
A Franna crane is not a general replacement — it is a problem-solver for specific conditions.
This service is chosen when:
- Speed matters more than reach
- Loads must move, not just lift
- Downtime carries real cost
- Site conditions change throughout the job
Using the wrong crane type here usually results in longer hire time and higher overall cost.
