Sherriffs carry out a lot of work transporting prefabricated structural steel to Melbournes large commercial projects, in particular on our semi trailers and extendables. We carry steel coils and sheet metal and also crane large coil reinforced strand steel to sites. We have significant experience with steel pit covers for underground services as well as long length roofing and sheeting.
Some of our largest customers in Melbourne are steel manufacturers and much of our equipment is purpose built for the lifting and transportation of steel which provides for an all encompassing crane truck hire service in this segment.
Our operators have worked out of some of the largest steel suppliers nationally and are largely familiar with the lifting and transportation of various types of steel from mesh, bar and pre-fabricated reinforcement steel to structural steel for residential and commercial installation to flat sheet, colourbond roofing and coils.
All operators are equipped with the correct PPE for the purposes of working with and around steel and all are familiar with the regulations of many of the large steel plants around Melbourne.
Does your crane truck hire service also include steel installs?
Given the long reaches on our cranes this makes our equipment perfect for commercial and residential structural steel installation work. In fact we do a lot of work for some of Victoria’s leading builders installing channels, gantries, lintels, columns and H sections. Because our operators have their dogging ticket our crane truck hire offers a more cost effective service for on site installs as it saves the customer the cost of a mobile crane and dogman.
Do Sherriffs crane trucks transport reinforced steel?
Absolutely. We have 12 tonne rigid crane trucks and front mounted crane trucks that can carry up to 9.5 metre lengths along with semi crane trucks which make this perfect for the transportation of large reinforced cages for construction piling. Our long length rigids are also fantastic for roofing and sheet metal material including large garages.
All of our operators work closely with the concreters and pilers to ensure all mesh and bar is placed on site as per instruction to make their job more efficient. Our heavy duty cranes can lift 3 tonne of mesh at once which enables us to turn around our on site time much quicker.
Do Sherriffs only provide a crane truck hire service for the larger steel suppliers?
Sherriffs have the ability to cater for all customers needs from the larger suppliers to the independent owner builder or interstate freight company. In fact many of our long term customers have been using our service since their inception and together we have continued to grow.
What capacity do your crane trucks have for the purpose of transporting steel?
Sherriffs have all bases covered when it comes to providing a crane truck hire service throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria for the purposes of transporting steel. Because we have small 4 tonne rigid trays up to 24 tonne prime movers with extendable trays with a variety of crane trucks for those on site lifts, we have the equipment to meet your requirements. We can also carry over dimensional loads should there be the need.
