Glass Lifting and Crane Hire in Geelong
We are glaziers first, so the gear we hire out is the gear we use ourselves every week. Three machines that between them cover the hard part of glazing: getting a heavy panel inside a building, over an obstacle from the street, or in under a roof where nothing else will fit.
All three are based in Geelong. There is no freight from Melbourne, and no minimum hire period built around somebody else's travel time.
Jekko MPK06 Glass Lifter
A 600 kg glass lifting robot that gets inside the building. Vacuum manipulator or certified crane hook, continuous 360 degree electric rotation, and it fits through most commercial entries and double doors.

PM 3623 Truck Crane
A knuckle boom crane on an Isuzu 200 with a purpose built glass rack. It works from the street and folds up and over a fence, a carport or a garden, reaching 10 metres straight up to place a load where a forklift cannot get to.

HIAB 025 Flat Tray Crane
The heavy one, and the one for covered sites. Its boom extends out rather than arcing up, so it works under carports, verandahs and low roofs where a knuckle boom cannot unfold. The flat tray carries A frames and the Jekko.

- Maximum reach4.3 m
- At full reach560 kg
- BodyFlat tray

Inside, Over the Fence, or Under the Roof
They are not alternatives to each other. Most jobs clearly need one of the three, and a few need two of them on the same day.

If you are not sure which one the job needs, describe the site and we will tell you. What is overhead matters as much as what the load weighs. That conversation costs nothing and it is a lot cheaper than the wrong machine turning up.
Glaziers Who Hire Out Gear, Not a Hire Company
We use it ourselves
Every machine on this page earns its keep on our own jobs. You can read them up under completed works, with photos of the actual lifts rather than brochure shots.
We know what you are lifting
Tell a hire desk you have a 200 kg panel and you get a machine. Tell us and you get a conversation about the reach, the access and whether the thing is even the right way around when it arrives.
Based in Geelong
The nearest glass lifter hire is in Melbourne, and the freight both ways can cost more than the machine. We are already here, across Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine.
With an operator or without
Take the machine on its own if your crew is competent and insured, or have one of our operators run it. On an unfamiliar machine with an expensive panel, the operator is usually the cheaper option.
Tell Us About the Lift
Send through what needs lifting, how heavy it is, how the machine would get to it, and when you need it. We will tell you which machine suits, what it costs, and whether it is free that day.
