Family-run HiAb crane truck hire from our Mountrath, Co. Laois base. Working with businesses across Portlaoise, Mountmellick, Abbeyleix, Stradbally, Durrow, Rathdowney and the rest of the county. Local depot, local operators.
Our yard is in Kilbricken, just outside Mountrath, which sits roughly central in Co. Laois. That means most of the county is a short drive from the depot. For local jobs, no overnight travel charge applies - the cost factor that drives quotes up on Cork or Donegal work disappears for Laois.
The other thing that matters locally is that the operators know the county. Tight farm yards in Castletown, the narrow turn into a Portlaoise estate, the height clearance on certain Mountmellick approaches - the local knowledge saves time on the day and avoids re-routes.
Real jobs from real Laois businesses, week in week out.
Equipment deliveries and installations for the pharmaceutical and processing sites around Portlaoise and the wider midlands.
Monopole and antenna lifts for rural telecoms upgrades. The PK135 reach handles 30m+ masts in a single lift.
Tractors, balers, bulk feed bins, slatted tanks placed precisely on farms across the county.
Steel beams, prefab panels, concrete slabs delivered straight into builds in Portlaoise, Stradbally and beyond.
Standby generators, fuel tanks, water tanks positioned on prepared bases at businesses and farms.
ISO containers, site offices, large skips delivered and positioned in tight yards across Laois.
Two Palfinger HiAb cranes work out of the Mountrath depot. The PK135 handles up to 20 tonnes at the base and reaches 36 metres - the right choice for telecoms masts, heavy industrial lifts, and over-roof work. The PK76 is the smaller, more compact crane for standard pallet jobs, agricultural equipment, and tight urban access.
Each truck pairs with a dual-trained operator who is also banksman-qualified. Full lift specifications, capacity charts, and PK135 vs PK76 selection guidance are on the main HiAb hire page.

The PK76 is built for tight farm yards and standard agricultural gateways. For very confined sites we will scout the access on Google Earth or with a quick visit before quoting, so there are no surprises on the day.
Up to 20 tonnes at the base with the PK135, with 36 metre horizontal reach. The PK76 covers smaller loads and tighter sites. The right crane for the job is part of the quote.
For complex Laois jobs, yes - it is usually quicker than describing it back and forth. We can arrange a site visit when we agree the booking.
Call the Mountrath yard and we will work out whether the PK135 or PK76 is right for the job, and agree a date that suits.
