SPECIALIST CRANE HIRE, GLASS LIFTING AND INSTALLATION SPECIALISTS
SERVICES TAILORED TO HARD-TO-REACH SITES
Terrace renovations behind heritage facades. Plant swaps on rooftops you can't reach with a truck. Indoor lifts on finished floors. These are the jobs we're built for; where a conventional crane simply won't fit, won't be allowed, or would do more damage than the lift is worth. We bring the gear, the planning, and the crew to make it look easy.
WE SUPPORT RESIDENTIAL,
COMMERCIAL, AND CIVIL PROJECTS.
Our ticketed riggers and tight-access equipment take on the lifts most crews would rather hand off. If it's awkward, indoors, up high, or hemmed in on every side, that's the brief we want.
Our typical projects include:
- Glass Installation
- Structural Steel Erection
- Air Conditioning Unit Placement
- Landscaping
- Machinery Relocation & Installation
- Spa Installation & Relocation
- Furniture & Bespoke Household Items
- Roof-Mounted Hot Water Systems
Wet and Dry hire available.
FLEXIBLE HIRE
FOR EVERY PROJECT
Hire the crane on its own, or bring our crew with it. Whichever way suits your scope, your timeline, and your budget, we'll match the package to the job.
DRY HIRE
OPTIONS
Take the mini crane on your own terms: no operator, no schedule clash. Best suited to ticketed crews who already know their way around tight-access gear and want flexibility on site.

WET HIRE
OPTIONS
Crane and operator as one package. Our certified team runs the lift end to end so your crew stays focused on the build; the right call when the geometry is unforgiving or the load is unforgiving of mistakes.

TIGHT ACCESS
SPECIALISTS
Designed for the jobs a truck crane can't even attempt. Through a 750mm doorway, down a hallway, into a basement, onto a balcony, our mini cranes get to the lift point and work cleanly once they're there.
Learn More
RESIDENTIAL
From backyard pool builds to second-storey extensions, we lift cleanly around finished homes, mature gardens, and the neighbours' fence line. The mini crane fits down side passages a truck can't see the end of.
Explore
Commercial
Fitouts, plant installs, and rooftop work that can't shut down. Quiet, electric, and approved for indoor operation. We work to your induction, hit the window, and leave the floor as we found it.
Explore
Civil
Infrastructure, utilities, and council work where access is constrained and the program is unforgiving. SWMS, lift plans, and certifications come standard, so the paperwork lands with the lift instead of chasing it.
ExploreWHAT WE LIFT & MOVE
Glass panels one day, structural steel the next. The mix of compact electric reach and an experienced rigging crew means we can cover the full range of tight-access lifts without swapping vendors mid-project.
GLASS INSTALLATION
Glass is the lift with no second chances. Our non-marking electric mini crane paired with vacuum lifters lets us place panels smoothly and accurately, even in courtyards and stairwells, without the manhandling that puts edges, sightlines, and budgets at risk.
LANDSCAPING
Set feature stones, drop in mature trees, position pergolas and water features, all without rutting the lawn or crushing the new paving on the way through. Rubber tracks and precise controls let landscapers finish the job the way it was drawn.
MACHINERY INSTALLS & RELOCATION
Repositioning plant in a working factory or threading machinery into a tight workshop usually means hours of downtime. Our compact footprint and non-marking tracks let us move heavy gear safely while the rest of the floor keeps running.
SPA INSTALLS & RELOCATION
Spas are heavy, awkward, and unforgiving of dropped corners. Between the mini crane and our track load carrier, we get them onto decks, balconies, or rooftops in one clean lift. No rope-and-prayer, no scuffed cladding, no strained backs.
STRUCTURAL STEEL ERECTION
Beam-by-beam steelwork on a narrow infill site is where the C6e earns its keep. It slips into footprints a truck crane can't approach and places each member with the precision that takes guesswork, and risk, out of the erection sequence.
AIR CONDITIONING PLACEMENT
Plant rooms, balconies, and rooftops, HVAC almost always ends up somewhere awkward. Our zero-emission crane runs quietly enough for occupied buildings and places condensers and air handlers exactly where they're meant to sit, first time.
FURNITURE & HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
When the sofa won't make the turn at the landing or the custom dining table is heading to a first-floor apartment, a clean external lift is faster, safer, and a lot less stressful than wrestling it up the stairs.
ROOF-MOUNTED HOT WATER SYSTEMS
Tanks and solar units land on the roof in minutes, not hours. No scaffold hire, no two-person carries up a ladder, no scratched panels. We lift, the installer connects, the job moves on.
THE SMARTER WAY
TO LIFT
Hire the machine and you've solved half the problem. The other half is knowing how to use it. Here's what keeps builders in the Central Coast, Newcastle and Sydney coming back to us instead of shopping the lift around.
FITS WHERE OTHERS DON'T
A 750mm doorway is no obstacle. Neither is a stairwell, a balcony, or a basement. Our mini cranes get to the work without the crane truck, the road closure, or the disruption that usually comes with them.
ZERO EMISSIONS — WORKS INDOORS
All-electric drive means no diesel fumes, low noise, and approval to operate inside occupied buildings, basement carparks, and sensitive sites where a combustion engine simply isn't an option.
NON-MARKING RUBBER TRACKS
The rubber tracks roll across all of the polished concrete, timber floors, tiled balconies, and freshly poured driveways without leaving a mark. Your client's finishes stay exactly the way the trades left them.
CERTIFIED TEAM, SAFE RESULTS
Every lift is run by ticketed riggers and certified operators working to a documented plan. The safety record isn't an accident. It's the product of doing the same things, the same way, on every single job.
Crane Hire
Options
EQUIPMENT
HIRE
A focused fleet of compact lifting gear, available wet or dry. Each piece earns its spot, chosen specifically for the sites where standard plant doesn't cut it.
HOEFLON C6E
The crane that does most of the work. Slim enough to walk through a 750mm doorway, strong enough to place a 3-tonne load, and clean enough to run indoors all day.
ENQUIRE ABOUT HIRE
TC1 TEAM CARRIER
The shuttle that pairs with the C6e: electric, rubber-tracked, and built to carry heavy materials across sites where wheelbarrows are slow and forklifts won't fit.
ENQUIRE ABOUT HIRE
VACUUM LIFTING ATTACHMENT
For glass, stone, and other flat panels where any contact with the edge ruins the panel. Vacuum lifters give us full control of the load through every degree of the swing at ground level or at height.
ENQUIRE ABOUT HIREWHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"Narrowtech were absolutely brilliant. We had a tricky glass install on a luxury coastal build — tight courtyard, polished concrete floors. They got in, got it done without a single mark, and the boys were super professional. Won't use anyone else."
"Used Narrowtech for a structural steel erection on a boutique build — extremely tight site, no room for a conventional crane. The C6e got in and got the steel placed perfectly. Fast, safe, no fuss. Highly recommend."
"Had a 300+kg skylight to install with power lines overhead and next to no room to manoeuvre. The Narrowtech team assessed it straight away and had a solution sorted. Executed perfectly. These guys are proper professionals."
