What Is A Franna Crane?
A Franna crane is a mobile crane that's been designed to operate on almost any surface. Whereas other mobile cranes may require a hard, flat surface for optimal performance, a Franna crane can be utilised on soft and/or sloping surfaces. Ideal for agricultural work, Franna cranes are also used in mining operations for construction, earthworks and civil engineering.
The Benefits Of Franna Cranes
Franna cranes have a number of advantages, which include:
- Lifting a significant weight - the larger model can lift up to 25 tonnes.
- Can be deployed on softer earth and/or on sloping or uneven surfaces.
- Space-saving - the modest dimensions of a Franna crane make it perfect for use on a more compact site, where it might be difficult to deploy a larger crane.
- Being road legal - a Franna crane can be legally driven on public roads. This means it can be driven from job to job or to and from the hire depot.
- Fast action and excellent performance - versatile and fast, the Franna can move quickly, getting your job completed swiftly.
- They're easy to use, very precise and extremely cost-effective.
What Jobs Are A Franna Crane Used For?
The short answer is that the Franna crane can be used for almost any type of
project. Its unique blend of road legality, speed, performance and compact size, along with its excellent lifting power, means that it's perfect for a wide range of jobs.

- Agricultural work.
- Construction - particularly when the property being constructed is in a location that hasn't got a lot of spare room or involves creating a building in a less-than-ideal environment.
- Civil engineering - a Franna crane is ideal for assisting in building bridges, roads, quays, harbour infrastructure or anything else that involves heavy lifting in challenging circumstances.
- Lifting larger pieces of rock, plant or vehicles.

FAQs
Is a Franna crane the same as a taxi crane?
Franna cranes are often referred to as taxi cranes. This is because their role is to lift heavy equipment and load bulky supplies. Also known as “pick and carry” cranes, they are designed without outriggers or stabilising legs so they can function in an area with limited space. A Franna crane is allowed to travel on public roads, so supplies can be transported across multiple job sites.

Can I drive a Franna Crane on a public road?
One of the things that makes the Franna Crane such a useful tool for the construction industry is that it’s road legal. This means it’s easy to transport supplies between sites with minimum fuss.
Where are Franna cranes made?
Franna Cranes are made in Brisbane. They were specially designed for the Australian climate and terrain. They were created in 1980 and have played a key role in the Australian construction industry ever since. They are now part of a larger corporation called Terex and are available worldwide, but because they were designed specifically for the Australian mining and construction industries, this is still their main market.
