Lismore is rebuilding, and cranes are part of nearly every stage of it. Houses being raised, structural steel going into flood-resilient builds, plant and equipment moving through the industrial estates, and everyday residential lifts continuing alongside it all.
Bauer Cranes has been part of that work. Our client list includes Lismore City Council and Essential Energy, and our crew brings 30 years of cranes and construction to every Lismore job. Available 24/7 from our Ballina base, about half an hour away.
Raised houses change the geometry of a lift. Getting trusses, steel or materials up to a house now sitting three metres higher takes more reach and more planning than a standard residential job, and it is work our 40T all terrain slew crane and 55T Liebherr are sized for. The Franna covers general builder support, and the spider crane handles tight access in the older streets of East and South Lismore and Girards Hill.
Working around Essential Energy infrastructure is a regular feature of Lismore jobs, and our close approach and live line licenced crew can work within regulated distances of live lines under the correct controls. On rebuild sites with overhead services on every boundary, that capability keeps jobs moving.
We service all of Lismore, including Goonellabah, East Lismore, South Lismore, North Lismore, Girards Hill and the surrounding villages.
We are on sites around Lismore every week, including:
Goonellabah and East Lismore. Residential rebuilds and raised homes across the eastern suburbs.
South and North Lismore. Flood rebuild work, commercial and industrial lifting on the flats.
Bexhill, Clunes and Dunoon. Rural properties and village builds north of the city.
Nimbin and the hills. Off-grid blocks, tiny homes and difficult rural access.
Wyrallah, Tucki and the river. Farm sheds and materials handling across the district.
Director Neil Bauer has been in construction since he was 16, with ten years in earthmoving and twenty in cranes. That experience shows up in the lift plan, the machine selection and the way the job runs.
Crane needs do not stick to office hours. We work around the clock, including weekends and emergency call-outs.
Free quotes and site assessments, honest advice, and pricing that lands where we said it would.
CICA member, CraneSafe compliant equipment, and strict safety protocols on every site. Close approach and live line licenced crew.
Competitive rates with no hidden fees. Most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals, which only happens when the price and the job are right.
Our team are local residents, hand picked, and personally invested in every lift because this is our home too.

Structural steel and trusses for rebuilds and raised homes. Plant and machinery in the industrial estates. Water tanks, sheds and containers. Commercial and civil lifting support. Materials handling for builders running multiple sites.
Yes. Raised homes change the geometry of a lift: more height, more reach, more planning about where the crane stands. Our 40T and 55T cranes are sized for exactly this, and it has become a regular part of Lismore work since the rebuild began.
Yes. Our client list includes Lismore City Council and Essential Energy, and we support builders, civil contractors and industrial clients across the city. Lift plans and crane supervisor oversight are available for complex and heavy lifts.
Yes, within regulated limits. Our operators and riggers hold close approach and live line licences, which on rebuild sites with overhead services on every boundary regularly keeps jobs moving that would otherwise wait on an outage.
The machine, the lift and the time on site set the price, and Lismore jobs range from a quick tank lift to multi-day steel programs. We quote free and fast with no hidden costs. Call with the load and the address and we will give you a firm number.
Yes. Machinery relocations, plant installation and factory lifts are regular work, and our Franna is usually the machine for moving equipment within a site while the bigger cranes handle installation lifts. Combined with our semi and HR transport, the move and the lift can be one booking.
Yes. Director Neil Bauer is crane supervisor qualified for heavy lift site supervision, and we prepare lift plans where the job calls for them. For builders and project managers who need documentation for their safety systems, we supply what your site requires.
Yes, we operate 24/7 including weekends. Storm damage, failed equipment, a program that cannot slip: call and we will tell you honestly how fast we can be there. We are about half an hour from our Ballina base.
For a single truss or steel lift, a few days is usually enough. For staged steel programs across a build, talk to us when your schedule firms up and we will lock the crane in around it. Repeat builder work is most of what we do, and we hold our times.
