Crane Truck Rental Services
The Smart Solution for Heavy Lifting in South Africa
When it comes to moving heavy equipment, machinery, or bulky loads, crane truck hire is the go-to service for many industries. Whether you’re in construction, mining, logistics, or manufacturing, having access to the right crane truck can save you time, reduce labour costs, and increase safety on site.
At Smart Truck Hire, we offer professional and reliable crane truck hire services across South Africa. Our fleet is equipped to handle a wide variety of lifting and transport tasks, ensuring that no matter the size or complexity of your job, we’ve got the right vehicle for you.
Why Choose Crane Truck Hire?
Crane trucks are a hybrid between a standard truck and a crane, giving you the best of both worlds. These specialised vehicles are fitted with powerful hydraulic cranes, allowing them to lift and move heavy items directly from the ground onto the vehicle – no extra equipment or manual handling needed.
This makes them extremely useful for:
Construction materials and equipment
Containers and site cabins
Generators and transformers
Machinery and plant equipment
Steel structures and pipes
By choosing crane truck hire, you eliminate the need for additional lifting equipment like forklifts or mobile cranes, which often adds to the cost and complexity of a project.
Our Crane Truck Fleet
At Smart Truck Hire, we cater for a range of lifting needs with our well-maintained and roadworthy fleet of drop-side crane trucks. Our current lifting and load capacity options include:
8,000 kg (8 Ton) Drop-Side Truck with a 3 Ton Crane
14,000 kg (14 Ton) Drop-Side Truck with a 5 Ton Crane
These vehicles are ideal for both light-duty and heavier-duty applications. The drop-side design also makes it easier to load and offload cargo from the sides of the truck – adding an extra layer of convenience and efficiency on-site.
Experienced Operators Included
As part of our commitment to safety and service quality, all our crane truck hire services include experienced drivers and certified crane operators. This is a compulsory requirement. Operating a crane truck isn’t as simple as driving a regular vehicle – it involves precision, skill, and a deep understanding of load balancing and lifting safety.
Our operators have extensive on-site experience, ensuring your cargo is handled with care from pick-up to delivery. If you’re unsure of what type of crane truck you need, our team is always happy to guide you through the best options based on your project requirements.
Flexible Rental Terms
Smart Truck Hire understands that no two projects are the same. That’s why we offer crane truck hire on a short-term, medium-term, or long-term basis. Whether you need a crane truck for a single job, a few weeks, or an extended contract, we’ve got flexible rental terms to match.
For clients needing a vehicle for an extended period, we also offer Full Maintenance Leasing options. This service allows you to focus on your operations while we take care of vehicle maintenance, servicing, and support. It’s an ideal solution for companies that need ongoing crane truck access without the cost and hassle of owning one.
