About Us

Led by Brendan Crew, with Blair Brough behind the scenes, Spider Crane Hire is a specialist lifting service based on the Gold Coast, South East Queensland.

Brendan is the owner, director, and operator — a qualified glazier with over 25 years in both commercial and residential construction. With a deep understanding of how crucial precision and safety are on-site, he brings the kind of care and skill that only comes from years of doing the work himself.

We’re based on the Gold Coast and regularly service Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Northern NSW, and beyond. We also travel across Australia for specialised projects — wherever tight access or tricky lifting jobs demand the right gear and experience.

Tight access and glass handling are our specialties, but our service goes far beyond that. We regularly assist with lifts for:

• Metal fabricators
• Tile and stone installers
• Spa delivery and setup
• Furniture moving
• Tree planting and removal
• Any heavy or oversized item needing expert handling in confined spaces

We take pride in doing the jobs others won’t. Thanks to Brendan’s experience and commitment, we’re trusted to take on complex lifts where other crane hire companies hesitate — especially in high-risk or delicate environments.

As an owner-operator service, punctuality, safety, and client satisfaction are always our top priorities. When you book with Spider Crane Hire, you’re dealing directly with someone who’s invested in doing the job right — every time.
