Erecting Structural Steel on
Restricted Sites Smartly
Basement builds, narrow urban lots, internal renovation projects, and confined commercial sites all present access challenges that standard lifting equipment cannot navigate. Our mini cranes fit where conventional equipment can't, giving builders, steel fabricators, and structural contractors a reliable lifting solution for the jobs that others can't reach.
Pinpoint Placement Accuracy
Steel beams and framework components need to land exactly right. Misalignment costs time, money, and rework. Our cranes provide millimetre-accurate positioning that allows structural steel to be placed precisely onto connection points, anchor bolts, and support structures without the guesswork that comes with manual handling.
Ultra-Compact Footprint
The C6 mini crane fits through standard doorways, down narrow site access paths, and into confined construction zones that defeat conventional lifting equipment. Where a standard crane requires a large setup zone, we operate in the footprint that your site actually has.
Removes Manual Handling Risk
Structural steel is heavy, awkward, and unforgiving. Manual handling of beams and framework components on tight-access sites creates serious injury risk for workers. Our equipment removes that risk entirely, providing a safer worksite and reducing liability for builders and principal contractors.
Minimal Site Disruption
Our compact cranes operate within a small footprint and require minimal setup time. That means less disruption to surrounding trades, faster crane-in and crane-out times, and a more efficient construction programme overall.
The Steel Lifts That Tight-Access Sites Demand
Narrowtech's lifting solutions support a wide range of structural steel erection applications across residential, commercial, and civil construction. From single beam placements to full framework installs in confined environments, our equipment handles the lifts that the site conditions make difficult.
Residential Steel Frame Construction
Custom homes, knockdown rebuilds, and residential extensions increasingly use structural steel framing in tight urban lots and narrow site conditions. We provide the compact lifting solution that allows residential steel frames to be erected safely and accurately without the oversized equipment that standard crane hire requires.
Commercial & Industrial Steel Erection
Commercial fitouts, industrial facility builds, and structural upgrades in occupied or restricted buildings often involve steel erection in environments where large cranes simply cannot operate. Our mini cranes provide the access and lifting capability these projects need.
Basement & Below-Grade Steel Installs
Steel beams and structural components destined for basement levels, underground carparks, and below-grade construction zones require equipment that can access and operate in low-clearance environments. Our compact cranes are purpose-built for exactly these conditions.
Mezzanine & Internal Steel Installations
Installing structural steel for internal mezzanine floors, platform structures, and overhead frameworks within existing buildings requires compact, manoeuvrable lifting equipment that can operate inside the building envelope without damage to surrounding finishes.
Urban Infill & Narrow Lot Builds
Tight urban lots, terrace homes, and infill development projects present some of the most challenging site access conditions in construction. We fit into these environments and delivers the steel placement capability that allows urban projects to proceed without compromising on structural integrity or safety.
Steel Placement for Renovation & Retrofit Projects
Structural steel upgrades, underpinning works, and retrofit beam installations in existing buildings often involve working in confined, occupied, or sensitive environments. We provide the precise, low-impact lifting solution these projects require.
Getting Steel Into the Sites Others Can't Reach
Narrow access points, low overhead clearances, active worksites, and sensitive surrounding structures all create conditions that conventional cranes cannot safely navigate. Our mini cranes are purpose-built to work within these constraints, delivering reliable steel placement where the site conditions make it hardest.
Indoor & Low-Clearance Steel Installs
For structural steel work inside existing buildings, basement environments, or any space with low overhead clearance, Our compact battery-powered cranes provide a clean, safe, and emission-free lifting solution without the need for structural modifications or large equipment access
- Battery-powered cranes
- Low-clearance capable
- Indoor-safe operation
- Zero emissions on site
Confined Site & Narrow Access Builds
When the only way onto site is through a standard gate, down a narrow access path, or through an existing building, we fit. Our mini cranes navigate the access constraints that stop conventional lifting equipment and get structural steel placed precisely where it needs to go.
- Compact crane access
- Narrow site entry
- Confined zone operation
- No major access works required
Active Worksite & Occupied Building Steel Works
Structural steel installations in occupied buildings, active commercial premises, or live construction sites require equipment with a small footprint and minimal disruption to surrounding activities. Our efficient, compact cranes complete the lift with the minimum impact on the broader worksite.
- Active site operation
- Occupied building capable
- Minimal disruption
- Efficient turnaround
