What Truck Mounted Crane Do You Need?
Because they combine transport and lifting in a single machine, truck mounted cranes fit projects that need fast mobilisation, covering structural steel, roof trusses, plant, modular buildings, containers, and heavy deliveries.
Which crane suits comes down to load weight, lifting radius, setup space, and ground, with Coppard reviewing the project, access, and working area before matching the machine.
Our Truck Mounted Crane Hire Range
Residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects across Wiltshire all suit truck mounted cranes, which travel directly to site and set up quickly on hydraulic outriggers, saving transport time.
From a single lift to a longer project, all machines are maintained and can come with operators, and Coppard advise whether a truck mounted, spider, or mini crane best suits the work. To view the range, see the truck mounted crane collection. This service sits under Crane Rental Agency in Melksham.
Truck Mounted Crane Hire Across Melksham, Wiltshire
In Melksham, Wiltshire, truck mounted crane hire supports projects where quick setup and steady lifting count. Site access, road width, overhead restrictions, and the ground — the River Avon alluvial floodplain, Oxford Clay and Kellaways beds, and Great Oolite limestone on higher ground — are reviewed before delivery. The Avon floodplain brings soft alluvial ground that can sit over firmer clay, so soft spots and the water table need checking before setup, while the Great Oolite on higher ground gives a firmer base.
Work extends to Chippenham and Devizes, and Coppard assess access routes, working areas, and site conditions before mobilisation. Postcode, photographs, and lifting details help confirm the crane before booking.
Operated Truck Mounted Crane Hire: CPCS Operators Available
Operated truck mounted crane hire brings CPCS-certified operators, along with lift planning, RAMS documentation, a site assessment, and the supporting paperwork for the job.
Before the lift, the crane position, access route, radius, ground, and overhead restrictions are reviewed, with planning in advance reducing delays and supporting a safe operation. Call 01380 828988 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 Melksham?
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.
