About the AT-15

Small crane, tight sites

The Franna AT-15 is a 15 tonne articulated pick-and-carry crane. It lifts without outriggers, so it can pick up a load, drive with it on the hook and set it down exactly where it's needed.

It's the most compact crane we run, which makes it the go-to for house blocks, steep Airlie streets, pools and spas. The boom reaches 17.9m with the manual extension, or 20.5m with the fly jib.

15 tonne capacity

Up to 15T on the boom lugs.

Pick and carry

Lifts and drives with the load, no outriggers.

Articulated steering

Pivots up to 40° each way for tight sites.

Up to 20.5m with jib

17.9m boom, more with the fly jib.

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, soft ground and when the crane is articulated. Lofty checks the ground, access, overhead lines and the travel path before the job, and prepares the lift plan and Safe Work Method Statement.

  • Free on-site assessment before we quote
  • Lift plan and SWMS prepared for every job
  • Licensed operator and dogman supplied
  • Can dual lift with our other Frannas
