What Truck Mounted Crane Do You Need?
Combining road transport with lifting in one machine, truck mounted cranes suit jobs needing quick mobilisation — structural steel, roof trusses, plant, modular buildings, containers, and heavy deliveries where speed counts.
Load weight, radius, setup space, and ground decide the crane, and Coppard review the project, access, and working area before recommending the most suitable machine.

Whether one lift or a longer project, each machine is inspected and supplied with operators where needed, with advice on whether a truck mounted, spider, or mini crane fits the job. To view the range, see the truck mounted crane collection. This service sits under Crane Rental Agency in Reading.
Truck Mounted Crane Hire Across Reading, Berkshire
Across Reading, Berkshire, truck mounted crane hire suits projects needing fast setup and steady lifting. Access, road width, overhead restrictions, and the local ground — Thames Valley river gravels, London Clay, and pockets of Bagshot sands — are reviewed before delivery. The river gravels drain well but can be loose, while London Clay shrinks and swells with the seasons and made-up ground near the floodplain needs care, so the ground under the outriggers is worth confirming first.
Projects in Wokingham and Bracknell are covered too, with access, working areas, and conditions assessed before mobilisation. Postcode, photographs, and lifting details help match the crane before booking.
Operated Truck Mounted Crane Hire: CPCS Operators Available
With operated truck mounted crane hire you get CPCS-certified operators, plus lift planning, RAMS, a site assessment, and the documentation the operation needs.
Ahead of the lift, the operator checks crane position, access, radius, ground, and overhead restrictions, so planning up front cuts delays and keeps the lift safe. Call 0118 979 2828 to discuss your lifting requirements and arrange operated truck mounted crane hire.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a truck mounted crane, or would another crane be more suitable?
Truck mounted cranes suit medium-weight lifting that needs fast mobilisation and efficient setup. For restricted-access sites or indoor lifting, a spider crane or mini crane may be a better option.
Can I choose operated or non-operated truck mounted crane hire?
Yes. Operated hire includes a CPCS-certified operator, while non-operated hire is available if your team has a suitably qualified operator and takes responsibility for the lift plan, RAMS, and supervision.
What site conditions need to be checked before delivery?
The access route, road width, turning space, overhead restrictions, setup area, and ground conditions should all be assessed before the crane arrives. Site photographs help identify access issues in advance.
What is the advantage of hiring a truck mounted crane near Reading?
A truck mounted crane combines lifting with road transport, so the vehicle can carry materials or equipment to site and then lift them into position. This can remove the need for separate transport and lifting equipment, making it useful for deliveries, machinery moves, and construction where efficient mobilisation matters.
The Association of Lorry Loader Manufacturers and Importers (ALLMI) provides technical guidance on the use of truck and lorry mounted cranes. See ALLMI’s guidance for the lorry-loader industry.
