About the MAC25

Our heaviest pick-and-carry crane

The Franna MAC25 is a 25 tonne articulated pick-and-carry crane. It doesn't need outriggers, so it can pick up a load, drive with it on the hook and place it, all without setting up.

It steers by pivoting in the middle, up to 40 degrees each way, which makes it handy in boatyards, tight streets and busy sites. A detachable 1.5 tonne counterweight can go on the back to lift more across the chart.

Planning a Franna lift

Ground, access and lift planning

Frannas need firm, level ground to lift and carry their full capacity, and capacity drops on slopes and soft ground. Lofty checks the ground, access, overhead lines and the travel path before the job, and prepares the lift plan and Safe Work Method Statement.

  • Lift plan and SWMS prepared for every job
  • Licensed operator and dogman supplied
  • Can dual lift with our other Frannas
The rest of the fleet

Need a different crane?

For lighter lifts, the 15T and 20T Frannas are smaller and quicker. For more height or weight, step up to the 55T or 80T, and we source cranes up to 350T for major projects.
