200t crane hire Brisbane
Our 200 tonne crane is the Liebherr LTM 1200-5.1, with 72 m of telescopic boom for heavy and high lifts. It is based at our Wagga Wagga depot and travels to Brisbane for planned lifts, with an operator and in-house lift planning.

Planned lifts, from a crane that travels
The straight answer first: our 200 t LTM 1200-5.1 is based at our Wagga Wagga depot, not in Brisbane. Cranes and crews move between our two depots when a job needs them, so we send it north for planned lifts in Brisbane and South East Queensland, with our own prime movers carrying the counterweight.
If your lift has to start soon, ask about the cranes that are based in Brisbane. The 150 t Grove GMK5150L and one of our 230 t Liebherr LTM 1230-5.1s work from Tingalpa, and one of them may suit the job as well.
With 72 m of telescopic boom on five axles, the LTM 1200-5.1 is built for lifts that are heavy and high.

Is this the right size?
In Brisbane, timing matters as well as size. The 150 t and one 230 t crane are already at our Tingalpa yard. The 200 t sits between them, and is the right size when the load and radius need more than the 150 t but not the full 230 t.

Questions
200t crane hire in Brisbane
Is your 200 t crane based in Brisbane?
No. Our LTM 1200-5.1 is based at our Wagga Wagga depot. Cranes move between our depots when a job needs them, so it can travel to Brisbane for planned lifts. Our 150 t Grove and one of our 230 t Liebherrs are based at Tingalpa.
How far ahead should I book a 200 t crane in Brisbane?
As early as you can. A 200 t lift usually needs a site visit, a lift study and transport permits, and the crane has to be brought up from Wagga Wagga. Call us to start the planning.
Can a Brisbane-based crane do my lift instead?
Often. Depending on the load and radius, the 150 t GMK5150L or the 230 t LTM 1230-5.1 may cover it from Tingalpa. Send us the load, the radius and the height and we will check the charts. See 150t crane hire and 250t class crane hire.
What can a 200 t crane lift?
Up to its rating close in. Capacity falls as the boom extends, so it lifts much less at full reach. Send us the load and the radius and we will check the chart. See How to read a crane load chart.
Does the crane come with an operator, riggers and lift supervision?
Yes. Every Superior crane is hired with an experienced operator, and we supply qualified riggers, doggers and accredited lift supervisors when the lift needs them.
How much does 200t crane hire cost in Brisbane?
It depends on the hours, the crew, any permits and how the crane has to be set up. Most jobs have a minimum hire. Send us the details for a fixed, itemised quote.
