Proudly 100% locally owned and operated |The idea behind Smart Lift Cranes
Coming from a rural and trade sales background, and conversing with commercial and trade customers, it became obvious that we needed a better solution for lifting items in tricky situations. And so, SmartLift Cranes was born! Our idea for a custom-built crane modified onto a 4wd vehicle originated from seeing a gap in the market for smaller cranes with easier manoeuvrability on sites or private properties that larger machines, such as HIAB trucks, cannot access.
SmartLift Cranes offer a cost-effective lifting solution for our customers, compared to hiring oversized (and overpriced!) access equipment for small lifting jobs. SmartLift Cranes is a fully insured operation with a site specific health and safety plan for every job. We’re also a member of Site Safe with Environmental Health and Safety experience, and NZQA Unit standard licenses 30072 & 16617.
About our versatile crane truck
Our SmartLift Crane is lightweight, smaller, and offers more stability than clunky HIAB Crane Trucks. We reach spaces that big cranes can’t, while still being strong and stable enough to lift safely.
Our machine comprises a custom-built mini crane modified onto a 4wd Toyota Hilux that is fully compliant and engineered by a local Canterbury engineer. We can lift up to 2,550kgs at a 1.55m reach, and lift objects up to 500kg as far as 6.8m away! Our machine is also 4wd and fitted with four stabilizer legs for added stability and safety on uneven terrain. SmartLift Cranes offers you a safe, secure and cost-effective lifting experience. We also provide a 6m double axle trailer, and 8x4m double axle trailer to help transport your lifted objects to their new locations.
