At Crane Aid, we provide complete engineering, machining, and fabrication services to support the safe, efficient performance of cranes and lifting systems across Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia. Our engineering department combines decades of experience with advanced CNC and manual machining technology to deliver precision-built parts, structural repairs, and custom materials handling systems — all manufactured in compliance with Australian Standards.
We don’t just build cranes — we engineer solutions. Whether you need a custom component manufactured, a damaged part replicated, or a complete lifting system designed from the ground up, our expert team ensures every product meets your specifications for quality, safety, and reliability.
Crane Aid’s fully equipped fabrication and machine shop can handle jobs of all sizes and complexities. We specialise in both CNC machining and conventional manual machining, giving us the flexibility to deliver precision work — from one-off components to large-scale production runs.
Our engineering team can also assist with 3D CAD model generation and CNC-ready drawings, ensuring accurate design-to-production workflow and reduced turnaround times.
Our CNC machining centres — featuring both horizontal and vertical mills — deliver precision and efficiency for all types of crane components and industrial parts.
Dual-pallet horizontal and vertical machining centres
Machining envelopes up to 1016mm x 508mm x 500mm
Fixture location systems for minimal changeover time
High-pressure coolant for faster metal removal
Renishaw probes for precision workpiece setup and gauging
Bar feed for unmanned operation
3-axis turning with steadies for long shafts
Turning diameters up to 600mm with 3065mm bed length
Renishaw probing systems for accuracy and consistency
Our CNC systems deliver superior repeatability, reduced lead times, and tight tolerance machining — ideal for custom crane parts, shafts, sheaves, housings, and load-bearing components.
Not every project requires CNC automation — that’s why Crane Aid also maintains a full suite of manual machining and fabrication equipment for flexibility and control in custom or repair-focused work.
Turning diameter up to 1000mm across 4000mm bed length
Milling envelope up to 5000mm x 5000mm
Broaching, slotting, and gear cutting
Precision fabrication and welding for structural components
