Membrey's Transport and Crane Hire

Overview

Membrey’s Transport and Crane Hire has been a cornerstone of Victoria’s heavy transport and lifting industry since 1962. Operating from Dandenong South in Melbourne’s south-east industrial corridor, the company has built over 60 years of expertise in the specialised field of heavy haulage, project logistics, and crane operations. Their unique combination of transport and crane hire capabilities under one roof sets them apart from conventional freight carriers, allowing them to manage complex logistics projects that require both the movement and placement of heavy or oversized loads.

What began as a family transport operation in the early 1960s has evolved into one of Victoria’s most capable heavy logistics providers. Membrey’s fleet includes a diverse range of transport equipment from standard semi-trailers through to specialised low-loaders, extendable trailers, and multi-axle combinations designed for oversize and overweight loads. Their crane division complements the transport operation with lifting equipment ranging from smaller mobile cranes through to large capacity units capable of handling major industrial installations. This integrated approach means customers can engage a single operator for the complete logistics chain from origin to final placement.

Key Capabilities

Heavy Haulage and Oversize Transport

Membrey’s specialises in the transport of heavy, oversized, and indivisible loads that require specialised equipment, route planning, and permit management. Their fleet of low-loaders, extendable trailers, and multi-axle combinations handles loads that standard freight carriers cannot accommodate.

Crane Hire and Lifting Services

The company’s crane division provides mobile crane hire ranging from smaller units for routine lifts through to large capacity cranes for major industrial and construction projects. Having crane and transport capabilities under one business simplifies complex project logistics.

Project Logistics

Membrey’s offers end-to-end project logistics services, coordinating the transport, lifting, and placement of heavy equipment and structures for construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure projects across Victoria, NSW, and nationally as required.

Best Suited For

• Businesses requiring heavy haulage for oversize or overweight loads
• Construction and infrastructure projects needing coordinated transport and crane services
• Manufacturers moving large equipment, machinery, or fabricated structures
• Companies seeking a single provider for complex logistics involving both transport and lifting

Integration Notes

Membrey’s Transport and Crane Hire operates through a project-based engagement model, with heavy haulage and crane hire typically coordinated through their experienced operations and project management team. Given the specialised nature of their services, each job often requires bespoke planning including route surveys, permit applications, and lift studies. Businesses engage with Membrey’s directly to scope requirements, obtain quotations, and coordinate scheduling. The nature of heavy haulage and crane operations means integration is generally managed through direct communication rather than automated booking systems, with project documentation and compliance records provided as required.
