About Us

Canterbury Cranes Limited was incorporated in 2013 when Blair started as a contractor. After being encouraged to get his own fleet a few years later, he put a 5k deposit down on a Franna and was given 90 days to pay the rest. With determination, Canterbury Cranes won the tender for a three month hire at the University of Canterbury, by offering a unique solution that achieved the job with a small crane, from inside the building, working outward.

“TAGGART – Has worked with Canterbury Cranes for over 10 years, the reason we continue to use their services is their solution-based thinking and no project is “Too Big or Too Small”. Blair and his team support our business with the most basic of lifts through to our most complex Cut & Crane demolition projects, including the seven-storey car park building we have just completed in the central Christchurch CBD. I would highly recommend Canterbury Cranes for any of your lifting requirements.”
