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
This ensures efficient lifts with minimal site disruption and no guesswork.
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.
Common container lift applications include:
- Site offices and storage containers
- Containerised workshops
- Temporary or permanent container installations
- Relocation of containers where forklifts or reach stackers cannot access
Machinery Lifting & Heavy Equipment Relocation
Red Tow handles heavy machinery crane lifts for industrial and commercial clients, including:
- Manufacturing equipment
- Plant and machinery
- Oversized equipment and assets
- Crated or uncrated machines
We regularly assist with:
- Machinery off-loading from transport
- Internal yard relocations
- Final placement onto foundations or slabs
Our experience in transport, recovery, and crane operations means machinery is handled safely from pickup through to final placement.
Portable & Foldable Building Crane Lifts
We provide crane services for portable buildings, including foldable and transportable building units.
This includes:
- Lifting portable buildings from transport trailers
- Precise placement on site
- Relocation of existing portable structures
- Foldable building installations requiring controlled lifting sequences
Portable and foldable buildings often have uneven weight distribution and require careful sling positioning — an area where experience matters.
