Service guide
Matching lifting equipment and transport to the job
M. Matheou LTD provides lifting and logistics support from Livadia, Larnaca, for projects throughout Cyprus. The correct service depends on the load, the distance between the crane and the lift point, site access and how the item must be delivered or positioned. The information below explains where each part of the fleet may fit; final equipment selection and availability are confirmed for the individual project.
A useful first enquiry includes the project location and date, load weight and dimensions, lift or placement height, working radius, ground and access conditions, plus photographs or drawings where available. These facts help distinguish a crane-lorry delivery from a separate mobile-crane lift or a coordinated heavy-transport movement. They also make it easier to identify missing measurements before equipment is scheduled.
Mobile crane hire
Mobile cranes support construction, industrial maintenance, structural assembly and machinery placement where a controlled lift is required. Our published fleet includes compact three-axle cranes and larger all-terrain units, with example capacities from 50 to 100 tonnes and a broader fleet capability summary from 30 to 150 tonnes. Rated capacity alone does not determine suitability: boom length, working radius, ground conditions and the position of outriggers all affect lift planning.
Share the load weight, dimensions, lifting points, required height and the horizontal distance from the proposed crane position. Site photographs or drawings can also help explain access, nearby buildings and overhead restrictions before a unit is discussed.
Crane lorries
A crane lorry combines transport with on-board lifting for suitable deliveries, reducing the need to arrange separate placement equipment. The service can be useful for materials or equipment that must be collected, transported and positioned at the destination. The listed fleet includes rigid and articulated configurations with capability up to 80 tonne-metres.
To assess a crane-lorry job, provide the collection and delivery addresses, item dimensions and weight, access restrictions at both locations and the required placement point. The team can then discuss whether an integrated vehicle or separate crane and transport plan is the more appropriate starting point.
Heavy and specialised transport
Heavy transport covers machinery, structural components, vessels and oversized loads that need more than a standard delivery vehicle. Available capabilities include multi-axle low-bed trailers with listed payloads up to 80 tonnes and extendable flatbeds for longer loads. Route planning and site-access assessment are especially important where vehicle length, turning space, clearances or local restrictions affect the movement.
Quote information should include accurate dimensions and weight, loading and unloading arrangements, both addresses and the intended date. Where a movement may require route clearance, permits or escorts, those requirements need to be identified as part of the planning discussion rather than assumed from the load weight alone.
Forklifts and access equipment
Material handling and access options include industrial counterbalance forklifts, telescopic handlers, scissor lifts and articulated boom lifts. The published range includes telescopic handlers up to 4.5 tonnes and scissor lifts with working heights up to 14 metres. Equipment choice depends on the load, surface, indoor or outdoor use, aisle or access width and the working height required.
Tell us what must be moved or reached, the operating environment, any doorway or ground restrictions and the expected hire period. For every category, availability displayed online is indicative and must be confirmed for the project date. Contact the team with these details to begin an equipment and scheduling assessment.
