Why Choose Bob & Ben for Your Crane Hire Needs

Mobile Crane Hire Sydney FAQs

  • When should I hire a crane for tree removal in Sydney?

    A city crane is useful when a tree is too large, too heavy, or too awkward to remove by hand. This is common across Sydney where trees often grow close to houses, fences, sheds, or powerlines. Our crane hire services are especially helpful in tight spaces such as narrow streets, shared driveways, or confined backyards, where a safe lift is needed to carry heavy loads without damaging surrounding areas.


    Using a compact crane speeds up the removal process, reduces manual labour, and lowers the chance of property damage. For complex or large-scale removals, it is one of the smartest and most cost-effective choices.

  • Is crane-assisted tree removal safe?

    Yes. When managed by qualified arborists and licensed operators, it is one of the safest ways to remove heavy or high-risk trees. Our team carries out on-site inspections, lift planning, and risk checks before the crane arrives. Each lift is controlled, stable, and supported by well-maintained equipment that meets Australian standards.

  • How long can I hire a crane for?

    The timeframe depends on the size and complexity of the tree removal project. Smaller removals may take only a few hours, while larger or multiple trees may require a full day or more. Once we assess your site, our crane hire Sydney team will advise on the expected duration and recommend the right mobile crane for the job. We coordinate every stage carefully so the removal runs smoothly and you receive a reliable service from start to finish.

  • What affects the price of crane hire?

    Several factors influence crane hire Sydney costs for tree removal, including:


    • the size and weight of the tree
    • the type of crane required
    • access conditions
    • the time needed to complete the lift
    • the complexity of the lift plan

    Once we assess your Sydney property, we provide a clear and detailed quote with no hidden costs.

  • Do I need to prepare anything before the crane arrives?

    In most cases, our team manages everything for you. We may ask you to clear vehicles from driveways or move outdoor items if they block access. If any council permits or traffic control measures are required due to crane positioning, we will discuss this with you during the inspection.

  • Do I need council approval for crane-assisted tree removal?

    Council approval may be required depending on your suburb, the tree species, and any local rules that apply. It is always a good idea to check with your local council to confirm what applies to your property. During our initial assessment, we will review your lifting needs and advise if any approvals are likely to be required. Our mobile crane hire services support you through the process and guide you on the next steps if council consent is needed.

  • How do I know Bob & Ben are the right team for my crane-assisted tree removal?
