Combination Cranes & Transport handles crane lift permits across Melbourne and Victoria — council road and footpath occupation approvals, traffic management plans, council out-of-hours and noise exception approvals, escort coordination, and (when the crane or load needs to travel oversize) VicRoads heavy vehicle permits. Our Melbourne crane lift permits service runs every week on our own jobs and as a standalone offering for builders, project managers and other operators. We know what each council requires, where the after-hours rules differ, and how to lodge applications that don’t get bounced back.



Tell us the site, the lift and the dates — we’ll lodge the paperwork.
If you’re running your own crane hire or heavy haulage operation and just need the permits and planning done properly, that’s a service we offer standalone. Send us the site, the lift (or load and route) and the timeline — we’ll lodge the council and VicRoads applications, prepare the traffic management plan, organise escorts if required, and hand back a clean permit pack ready to operate against. Faster than learning each council’s process from scratch, and cheaper than getting an application bounced.
Crane operations typically need a stack of separate approvals before a lift can legally proceed. We handle the lot — for our own jobs and as a standalone service.
