ROOFTOP & HIGH-LEVEL CRANE HIRE
Banks Crane and Transport provides rooftop and high-level crane lifting across Wellington, Kāpiti Coast, Porirua, Hutt Valley, Manawatū and Palmerston North. We lift building materials, structural components and specialist loads to roofs, upper floors and other difficult-to-reach positions.
WHEN THE LOAD NEEDS TO GO UP, NOT JUST ACROSS.
Rooftop and upper-level lifting can require significantly more crane reach than the load weight alone might suggest.
Building height, the distance from the crane to the final position and surrounding structures all influence the crane required for the job.
We can assess the lift and determine a practical setup based on the load, site access, available crane position and required working radius.
HEIGHT IS ONLY ONE PART OF THE LIFT.
A load may only need to go a few storeys up, but the crane may also need to reach across the building, scaffolding or other obstacles to get it into position.
The combination of load weight, height and horizontal distance determines the working radius and ultimately the crane required.
Getting us involved early means we can look at the intended crane position and help determine whether the proposed lift is practical.
LOAD WEIGHT
The weight of the item is considered together with the required working radius.
BUILDING HEIGHT
Roof level and final placement height affect boom configuration and available crane options.
WORKING RADIUS
The horizontal distance from the crane to the load position can significantly affect lifting capacity.
SETUP SPACE
Available room for the crane, outriggers and surrounding site activity influences the lifting setup.
PLAN THE REACH. SET UP. LIFT. PLACE.
SEND US THE DETAILS
Send the load weight, dimensions, building height, placement position, site address and any useful plans or photos.
WE CHECK THE REACH
We assess working radius, crane capacity, available setup position and any obstacles between the crane and load.
SET UP ON SITE
The crane is positioned and set up to suit the planned lift and site conditions.
LIFT & POSITION
The load is lifted to roof level or the required upper-floor position and placed where needed.
LIMITED ROOM AT GROUND LEVEL?
High-level lifting is often required on sites where space is already limited by buildings, traffic, scaffolding, site fencing and other construction activity.
We can assess different crane positions and equipment options to determine a practical way of achieving the required reach.
Early planning is particularly useful on busy commercial and central-city sites where crane setup space may be limited.
CRANE OPTIONS FOR HEIGHT, REACH & ACCESS.
The best lifting option depends on load weight, required radius, building height and where the crane can physically set up.
MOBILE CRANES
Flexible lifting options for rooftop placement, commercial construction and high-level work.
HEAVY LIFT CRANES
Larger cranes for heavier loads, greater working radii and demanding rooftop placement requirements.
HIAB CRANE TRUCKS
A practical option for suitable loads where transport and high-level placement can be completed using the same vehicle.
