The Advantages of Dual Lifts with Mobile Cranes
Heavy lifting with Mobile Cranes requires efficiency, safety and precision. Often lifts involve oversized or irregularly shaped loads, which require some creativity to lift effectively. Dual lifts are one of our favourite techniques for manoeuvring difficult objects. In this process, two cranes work in tandem to lift a single object. As experts in the field, our team routinely execute dual lifts with unparalleled precision and safety.
Here’s why dual lifts are an essential technique in the mobile crane industry and how they deliver exceptional results for complex lifting operations.
The Utility of Dual Lifts
Using two cranes in tandem significantly increases the total lifting capacity, allowing us to handle much larger and heavier loads than a single crane could manage. Certain loads, such as those with unusual dimensions or weight distributions, can be unstable when lifted by a single crane. With a dual lift, the weight is distributed across two cranes, improving balance and reducing the risk of the load tipping or swinging.
Dual lifts can also be essential for situations where the load must be navigated through tight spaces or lifted at an angle. The coordination between two cranes provides greater flexibility in guiding challenging environments.
The Effectiveness of Dual Lifts
Safety is a top priority in any lifting operation. By distributing the load between two cranes, dual lifts reduce the strain on each crane. At Lindores Mobile Cranes, every dual lift is planned with rigorous attention to detail to ensure the safety of operators, equipment, and the surrounding environment. Dual lifts can also save time on complex projects. Instead of dismantling large loads into smaller pieces for single-crane lifts, a dual lift can handle the load in one go, reducing operational delays and increasing project efficiency.
Finally, while dual lifts may seem like a more resource-intensive approach, they can ultimately save money by reducing project timelines, preventing damage to sensitive loads, and avoiding the need for additional equipment or labour.
Dual lifts with mobile cranes are a versatile and effective solution for handling complex loads. By leveraging the combined strength of two cranes, this method ensures safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for projects across various industries. If you’re tackling a challenging lift, trust the experts at Lindores Mobile Cranes to deliver results with professionalism and expertise.

The Liftout
Urban construction across Brisbane’s inner suburbs, like Brisbane City, Fortitude Valley and West End, presents a unique challenge. Limited street access, tight driveways, weight-restricted concrete slabs, and close proximity to neighbouring buildings mean that traditional mobile cranes simply won’t fit. At Lindores Mobile Cranes , we’ve seen how mini crawler cranes are transforming the way construction is carried out on these sites. Compact, precise, and highly mobile, these machines are fast becoming essential for projects across Queensland . Rethinking Lifting for Urban Environments In city and suburban projects, space is at a premium. Construction teams often deal with narrow laneways, busy streets, or strict local council rules that make large-scale crane operations unfeasible. In some cases, access is so restricted that conventional lifting equipment can’t get anywhere near the job site. That’s where mini crawler cranes come in. Built specifically for tight and complex environments, these machines allow builders to lift heavy materials safely and efficiently, without the need for wide access or extensive setup areas. See our full fleet of mobile and mini cranes. Compact Size, Serious Capability Despite their size, mini crawler cranes don’t compromise on performance. Designed to operate in confined spaces, they’re able to move through narrow driveways and even fit inside buildings if required. Their rubber tracks reduce surface pressure, making them safe for use on rooftops or polished concrete slabs, and their zero tail-swing allows for safe manoeuvring in environments with little margin for error. These features make them ideal for everything from steel erection and glass installation to HVAC placement and residential renovations. We’ve supported projects as varied as boutique homes in New Farm and shopfront fit outs in Surfers Paradise , proving how versatile these compact machines really are. Designed for the Modern Job Site Mini crawler cranes are an increasingly popular choice for residential builds, renovations, and even commercial fit outs across Queensland. Their small footprint and fast setup time mean less downtime, lower costs, and fewer headaches when working in restricted-access environments. Ready to Lift Smarter in Tight Spaces? At Lindores Mobile Cranes , we’ve helped countless clients across Brisbane , the Gold Coast , and South East Queensland navigate complex job sites with ease. Our team can advise you on the right crane for your lift, organise pre-lift planning, and provide experienced operators who understand the ins and outs of working in urban environments.
