The Liftout

Tight access, awkward angles, or weight restrictions on-site? If you’re dealing with any of these headaches, you’re not alone. Across Southeast Queensland, construction teams regularly run into access limitations that can delay progress and blow out budgets. At Lindores Mobile Cranes , we get it- not every site is set up for a 100-tonne monster. That’s why we offer a versatile fleet of mini crawler cranes that are built for tight-access environments. We currently have two varieties of highly capable mini crawler cranes, each offering a unique solution depending on your site’s challenges. Our Fleet The 2.8T Mini Crawler is Ideal for ultra-tight access jobs or delicate indoor lifts. Its compact footprint allows it to move through narrow doorways and between structural obstacles with ease. The 4.8T Mini Crawler is best for lifts that demand higher capacity but still require a smaller crane profile than standard mobile cranes. Both models are engineered for precision, low ground pressure, and maximum stability, making them perfect for residential construction, commercial fit outs, and restricted urban sites. Where Mini Crawlers shine: Backyard lifts, indoor instillations, heritage building projects, high-density developments, multi-storey lifts and much more! Why Choose Mini Crawlers? Due to their compact design, these cranes can fit where most machines cannot. Offering a quick setup, Mini Crawlers have a faster turnaround time in comparison to regular cranes. These machines also have a reduced site disruption, and their precision makes them excellent for handling fragile or expansive equipment. Additionally, they are easier and cheaper to move between sites! We’ve helped countless builders and project managers keep their schedules on track by delivering smart, site-specific lifting solutions. If you’re facing access issues, don’t compromise your project with the wrong equipment.
