PRECAST CONCRETE TRANSPORT & LIFTING

CRANE HIRE FOR PRECAST CONCRETE

Banks Crane and Transport provides complete precast concrete transport and lifting solutions across the lower North Island. With our own fleet of trucks and mobile cranes, we can collect precast panels and concrete components, transport them to site and lift them into position.

PRECAST LIFTING

HEAVY PANELS. PRECISE PLACEMENT.

Precast lifting requires the crane, rigging and site setup to work together. Panel weight is only one part of the equation. Required reach, component dimensions, installation position and available crane setup space all matter.

We provide crane support for precast panels, beams and concrete components across commercial, residential and infrastructure projects.

Send us the panel weights, drawings, site information and proposed installation sequence and we can help work out a practical lifting setup.

TRANSPORT + LIFTING

FROM COLLECTION TO FINAL PLACEMENT.

We don't just provide the crane. Banks Crane and Transport operates its own fleet of trucks, giving us the capability to transport precast panels and concrete components as part of the same job.

We can collect the load, transport it to site, coordinate the crane and lift the panels or components into their final position.

Combining transport and lifting through one company can simplify scheduling, reduce coordination between separate contractors and make the overall job easier to manage.

Need the panels collected as well? Talk to us about combining transport, crane hire and final placement into one complete solution.
LIFT PLANNING

WEIGHT IS ONLY PART OF THE LIFT.

A panel may be within a crane's lifting capacity at one radius but not another. Building position, crane setup location, panel orientation and required placement height can significantly affect the crane required.

Getting the information early helps us assess transport requirements, crane selection and site setup before the panels arrive.

Panel weights, dimensions, pickup location, site plans and final placement locations are especially useful when assessing the job.
HOW IT WORKS

COLLECT. TRANSPORT. LIFT. PLACE.

01

SEND US THE DETAILS

Send through panel weights, dimensions, pickup location, delivery site, drawings and final placement locations.

02

PLAN TRANSPORT & LIFT

We consider truck requirements, crane size, access, working radius, setup position and the installation sequence.

03

COLLECT & DELIVER

Where required, our trucks collect the precast components and transport them to site ready for placement.

04

LIFT & PLACE

Our crane lifts and positions the panels or concrete components into their required location.

SITE CONDITIONS

WHERE CAN THE CRANE ACTUALLY SET UP?

Precast projects often involve heavy components being positioned around partially completed buildings, scaffolding, excavations, traffic and other site activity.

Available setup space, ground conditions and the distance between the crane and final panel position can all influence the lifting solution.

If the setup looks tight or the required reach is uncertain, we can arrange a site visit before the lift.
EQUIPMENT

TRUCKS AND CRANES FOR THE COMPLETE JOB.

We can combine transport and lifting equipment to suit the size, weight, access and final placement requirements of the job.

Panel weights, dimensions, pickup location, delivery address, installation locations and any drawings or site plans are a good starting point. Site photos are also useful.
Can you help determine what size crane is required? +
Yes. We can consider component weight, required radius, lift height, available setup space and site access when working out a practical crane option.
Can you lift precast panels over a building or obstruction? +
Potentially. The required crane will depend on the panel weight, working radius, lift height and available crane setup area. Send us the project information and we can assess the lift.
Can you support multi-day precast installation? +
Yes. We can support individual lifts through to ongoing transport and crane requirements for larger construction projects.
Can you visit the site before the panels arrive? +
Yes. A site visit can be useful where access, setup position, ground conditions or required crane reach need a closer look.
