Self-Erecting Cranes
Lugi Cattaneo Spa was born in Magnago (Milan – Italy) in 1957 as a company specialised in the construction of tower cranes for the building industry.Under the direction of the Cattaneo family, the company has come to represent one of the most significant companies in the panorama of tower crane construction companies, also thanks to the constant research of advanced technological solutions and the expertise of its workers.
For many years Cattaneo has been the landmark for companies that research reliable, complete, modern, and up-to-date cranes; the important and the quality of the company is confirmed by the widespread diffusion of the Cattaneo brand throughout the national territory and the constant growth in Europe and worldwide of their products.
The cranes that leave the Cattaneo factory are designed and built to be simple and reliable, to last a long time and to ensure the customer, wherever they are, the ready availability of spare parts and skilled labour.

Supplying a full service right until the self-erecting crane arrives on your sites. We supply the cranes and that are fully serviced and licensed under New Zealand strict guidelines.
Why a self-erecting crane will change how you build.
- The self-erecting cranes are hydraulic with quick assembly.
- The Cattaneo self-erecting cranes are perfect for smaller residential building sites to save time and money, with only a small footprint required for the base of the crane and for many more reasons.
- Lack of normal crane scheduling is required, not having to wait for a mobile crane to turn up, and missing the rush hour traffic.
- Self-erectors are a game-changer when it comes to site organisation, allowing the placement of materials from bins, toilets, materials, etc to be moved around the site with ease. Along with the unloading of materials is now a one-person task. You’ll be ahead of schedule and under on labour
MODELS
The self-erecting crane range varies from a 20m gib to a 41m gib, which suits a huge variety of sites and applications. There is one that will suit your requirements and benefit your team for years to come.

SUPPLY TO AUSTRALASIA
We stock cranes ready for sale at our factory in Auckland, but supply to order from the Cattaneo range when required. From order to supply from Italy generally takes 4-6 months. During this time, we assist with driver training, site preparation. So when the crane arrives, you are ready to operate immediately.
Getting your self-erecting crane set-up
Transport
All cranes come with removal or fixed wheels for ease of transport around the site and for loading on to transporters. If required road axials can be provided. Around the sites an excavator can be used to manoeuvre the Self-erecting crane.
We also provide ongoing support once the self-erecting cranes reach their final destination.

awards
Lift of the Year 2023 - Crane Association of NZ
We are proud to have won the CANZ Lift of the Year Award for installing the Cattaneo CM 371, the largest self-erecting crane brought into New Zealand. On a challenging Auckland site, we worked with Cattaneo, Ashton Crane Hire, and the client to deliver the first erect-lift solution for this model. Using custom lifting brackets and precise balance control, the installation was completed safely and efficiently. This project highlights the versatility of self-erecting cranes and Bannan Cranes’ commitment to innovation and excellence.
