Story

MOBILE CRANE HIRE
Smith Crane & Construction operates the largest fleet of cranes in New Zealand, with more than 300 plant items available for hire on a casual or contract basis for all types of works.

PROJECT CRANE HIRE
Smith Crane & Construction’s modern crawler fleet includes the largest crane in New Zealand, enabling the company to successfully deliver projects such as wind farms, bridge slides, large piles and high rise demolition.

The company’s fleet of seventeen tower cranes range from smaller self-erecting models to New Zealand’s largest luffing and hammer-head types.

Smith Crane & Construction prides itself on providing clients with individually-designed work programmes which afford the best technical and collaborative solutions to a project, delivered ontime, within budget and without dispute.

With a reputation for tackling projects which are technically demanding, the company undertakes even the most difficult venture, providing innovative solutions to engineering problems and benefiting the client through savings.

Smith Civil Engineering has an extensive range of construction equipment to tackle every job and a dedicated, trained and experienced team to successfully carry out your project on-time and within budget.

PILING
Smith Crane and Construction has extensive experience in a wide range of piling techniques, with the capability to install piles from 300mm to 3000mm diameter.

The Smith Piling team has gained knowledge of the challenging and often unique geotechnical conditions throughout New Zealand, having undertaken the installation of piles to comply with New Zealand standards in seismic pile design particularly in the Canterbury region.

The company offers its services nationwide with offices in
Christchurch and Auckland.

Smith Crane & Construction operate a modern fleet of drilling and piling rigs ranging from the 110-tonne Casagrande, the largest of its kind in New Zealand, to the 2.3-tonne Hutte restricted access drill for low headroom environments.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION
Since the company’s inception, bridges have been Smith Crane & Construction’s core business. The company prides itself in being a one-stop shop no matter what size of bridge.

Whether it’s a 5m span farm bridge, the Otira Viaduct or one
of the many Kiwirail bridges successfully delivered, the company can supply and install all components itself.
