Not every lift is straightforward, and that’s where we thrive. At Bauer Cranes, we understand that each job comes with its own set of challenges. Whether it’s a tight access site, unusual load dimensions or a time-critical lift, our team has the experience and flexibility to deliver a tailored solution that gets the job done safely and efficiently.
We’ve worked with clients across Ballina, Byron Bay, Lismore, Lennox Head, Mullumbimby and the wider Northern Rivers region on everything from residential roof trusses and water tanks to complex commercial equipment installations. No matter the scale or setting, we’ll assess your site conditions, determine the right equipment and coordinate the lift from start to finish, including rigging and operator support if required.
We pride ourselves on honest advice, competitive pricing and clear communication throughout the entire process. If you’re not sure what crane or crew you need, or you’re working with unusual site logistics, we’ll take the time to walk you through your options with no pushy sales or hidden costs.
