Integrated lifting and transport solutions for construction equipment, heavy machinery, and industrial relocations across Kenya?handled with precision and care.

AutoAid's Crane & Hiab Services provide the complete solution: professional lifting coupled with secure transport. We don't just move your equipment; we handle the entire process from initial lift to final placement with expertise and precision.

Solutions

How We Can Help with Crane & Hiab Services

Professional Crane Services

We provide comprehensive lifting solutions for complex challenges. This includes precision lifting and placement of construction materials (steel beams, concrete panels), machinery installation and removal in industrial facilities, and heavy component handling for infrastructure and energy projects.

Hiab (Truck-Mounted Crane) Services

Our Hiab services combine lifting power with transport flexibility. We efficiently load and unload construction supplies, containers, and equipment directly at site, handle logistics where dock access is limited or nonexistent, and provide rapid loading/unloading for time-sensitive deliveries.

Complete Machinery Relocation

We manage the entire relocation process for critical assets. Our service includes careful lifting, securing, and transport of heavy machinery and industrial plant, specialized handling for sensitive or high-value equipment, and coordinated multi-equipment moves for factory or site transfers.

Beyond Lifting: Comprehensive Project Support

Our commitment extends beyond the single lift. We provide end-to-end solutions for your material handling needs.

Specialized Transport Integration

Whether your lifted load requires our flatbed towing or heavy-duty recovery equipment for the journey, we provide a seamless, single-provider solution.

Complex Operation Management

From planning lifts in confined spaces to managing accident recovery involving overturned machinery, our team coordinates all aspects of the operation.

Permit & Logistics Coordination

We handle the necessary road permits and escort arrangements for oversized loads, managing the regulatory paperwork so you can focus on your project.
