Professional Crane Services for Heavy Lifting & Complex Projects
Red Tow provides professional large crane services across Melbourne and regional Victoria, specialising in heavy crane lifts, container handling, machinery relocation, and portable & foldable building lifts.
With a modern fleet of high-capacity crane trucks, experienced operators, and full transport capability in-house, we handle complex lifts that require precision, planning, and real-world lifting experience.
We are routinely engaged for 20ft and 40ft container lifts, oversized machinery moves, and portable building placements where access is tight and margins for error are small.
Large Crane Jobs – Planned, Controlled, and Executed Safely
Large crane jobs are not about brute force they are about load control, reach, ground conditions, and safe execution.
Red Tow undertakes crane lifts for:
- Industrial sites
- Transport yards
- Construction projects
- Warehouses and factories
- Ports, depots, and hard-to-access locations
Every lift is assessed for:
- Weight and centre of gravity
- Radius and reach requirements
- Ground bearing capacity
- Obstructions and overhead hazards
- Safe loading, unloading, and placement
Container Lifting – 20ft & 40ft Containers
We specialise in crane lifting and placement of shipping containers, including:
- 20ft containers
- 40ft containers
- Loaded or empty containers
- Container relocations within sites
- Precision placement next to buildings or boundaries
Our crane trucks allow us to lift, transport, and position containers in one operation, eliminating the need for multiple contractors.
