Cranes Perth & WA

Cranes play a vital role in improving workplace safety, productivity and material handling efficiency. At Materials Handling Solutions (MHS), we supply cranes throughout Perth and Western Australia, helping businesses safely lift, move and position heavy loads with greater control and less manual handling. Whether you require a jib crane for a workshop, a gantry crane for maintenance work, a monorail crane for a production line or a complete track crane system, our team can help design a lifting solution that suits your application and budget. With over 30 years of industry experience, MHS supplies crane systems to manufacturing facilities, warehouses, workshops, mining operations, food processors and many other industries throughout WA.

Our Crane Range

Jib Cranes

Jib cranes are one of the most popular crane systems for workshops and manufacturing facilities. Available in freestanding, wall-mounted, articulated and portable configurations, they provide excellent lifting coverage while occupying minimal floor space.

Freestanding jib cranes are ideal where maximum coverage is required, while wall-mounted jib cranes utilise existing building structures. Portable jib cranes offer flexibility for maintenance and service work, while articulated jib cranes provide excellent reach around machinery and obstacles.

Jib cranes are commonly paired with electric chain hoists, air hoists and vacuum lifters to create highly efficient lifting workstations. They are available in steel, aluminium and stainless steel construction to suit a wide range of applications. Stainless steel jib cranes are ideal for food-grade, pharmaceutical, chemical and corrosive environments where hygiene requirements, regular washdown procedures and resistance to rust are important considerations.

Gantry Cranes

Gantry cranes provide a flexible lifting solution that can be moved around a facility or worksite. They are ideal for maintenance activities, fabrication workshops and applications where a fixed crane system is not practical. Available in steel and aluminium designs, gantry cranes can be supplied as fixed- or adjustable-height systems and are commonly used for maintenance, fabrication and equipment installation work.

Track Crane Systems

Track crane systems provide lifting coverage across large work areas and are ideal for production lines, assembly facilities and repetitive handling applications. These systems can often eliminate manual handling while improving workflow efficiency.

Monorail Cranes

Monorail crane systems move loads along a fixed path and are commonly used in manufacturing, warehouses and production facilities. They are an excellent solution where products follow a consistent handling route.

Manipulator Cranes

Manipulator cranes combine lifting assistance with precise load positioning. These systems are commonly used for repetitive handling tasks where operators need maximum control with minimal physical effort. Manipulator cranes are frequently combined with vacuum lifters, grippers and specialised tooling.

Pick & Carry Cranes

Pick and carry cranes provide mobile lifting capability without requiring outriggers or fixed crane infrastructure. They are ideal for construction sites, maintenance operations and applications requiring frequent movement between lifting locations.

Benefits of Industrial Cranes

Improved Workplace Safety

Crane systems reduce manual handling and allow heavy loads to be lifted and moved safely. This reduces the risk of workplace injuries and improves operator safety.

Increased Productivity

Industrial cranes improve workflow efficiency by enabling the quick, accurate movement of materials between workstations, machines, and storage areas.

Better Load Control

Modern crane systems provide excellent load control, allowing operators to safely position products with greater precision.

Reduced Labour Requirements

Many lifting tasks that traditionally required multiple workers can be safely completed by a single operator using the correct crane system.

Long-Term Cost Savings

By improving productivity, reducing workplace injuries and minimising product damage, crane systems often provide an excellent return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of crane is best for a workshop?

Jib cranes are often the most popular workshop crane because they provide excellent lifting coverage while occupying minimal space.

What is the difference between a jib crane and a gantry crane?

A jib crane is fixed to a column, wall or freestanding mast, while a gantry crane is mobile and can be moved around a facility.

What type of hoist can be fitted to a crane?

Most crane systems can be fitted with a variety of hoists, including manual chain hoists, electric chain hoists, air hoists and specialised lifting equipment, depending on the application.

Can jib cranes be supplied in stainless steel?

Yes. Stainless steel jib cranes are commonly used in food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical and washdown environments where hygiene and corrosion resistance are important requirements.

How much weight can a crane lift?

Crane capacities range from a few kilograms to many tonnes, depending on the crane design and application.

Can cranes be customised?

Yes. MHS regularly designs custom crane systems to suit specific lifting requirements, building layouts and production processes.

What Australian Standards apply to cranes?

Crane systems supplied by MHS are designed and tested to relevant Australian Standards and industry requirements.
