Planned Lifting & Transport
Booked in advance for construction, industrial and project work. Cranes, telehandlers, forklifts and prime movers with operators — by the day, week or month.
One of Mogadishu's most experienced heavy lifting and transport companies — serving industrial, commercial, logistics, telecom and infrastructure clients since 2007. European and American-built equipment, well-trained operators, and eighteen years of executed work in Banaadir and beyond.
Founded in 2007, Hijaz Transport & Crane Services has grown into one of Mogadishu's most established heavy lifting and transport companies. We've served industrial plants, water infrastructure projects, port operations, telecom operators and major contractors across Banaadir — and mobilised to the Afgoye, Balad and Lafole corridors for larger jobs.
Our fleet is built around European and American manufacturers — Liebherr, P&H, Hyster, Mercedes-Benz, Kobelco and Tadano — chosen for reliability, certified load charts and parts availability. This is what differentiates us from operators running Chinese rebuilds in a market where uptime matters.
From a single heavy pick to a full project relocation across Banaadir, we bring the right machine, the right rigging and a crew that has done the work before.
Mobile, rough-terrain, truck-mounted and all-terrain cranes — up to 80 tonnes with our P&H flagship.
Iveco / Mercedes prime movers with semi-trailers — seven units, 40-tonne capacity each, for oversized cargo, heavy machinery and containers across Banaadir.
Loading, transporting, installing and re-positioning industrial machinery and plant equipment between facilities.
Heavy lifts for tanks, transformers, generators and process equipment at industrial sites and fuel depots.
Heavy forklifts (Hyster 16 t, Nissan 7 t, CAT 3.5 t) for container handling, port yard moves, stuffing and de-stuffing at Mogadishu Port and warehouse facilities.
Steel hangars, warehouses and structural frames — erecting trusses, columns and roof structures on site.
Water tanks, fuel tanks and telecom towers — lifting, positioning and installing tall and heavy structures.
Urgent heavy lifts, stuck-equipment recovery and time-critical relocation when the job can't wait.
Click any machine for full specs, photos and a direct quote request. A working fleet of 19 machines led by our 80-tonne P&H — every unit maintained, plated and ready to roll onto your site in Banaadir.
Our heaviest lifter — an 80-tonne P&H hydraulic crane on a 5-axle all-terrain carrier. The crane we send when the load chart on smaller units runs out.
Every lift is quoted to its scope — duration, location, access and complexity. The models below show how clients typically engage Hijaz. Indicative day rates are available on request; a formal quotation follows each site assessment.
Booked in advance for construction, industrial and project work. Cranes, telehandlers, forklifts and prime movers with operators — by the day, week or month.
Short-notice mobilisation for breakdowns, overturns, shutdowns and time-critical lifts. Priority dispatch of the right machine and crew to your site across Banaadir.
Reserved equipment and crews held on standby for contractors, industrial plants and fuel operators — guaranteed availability at agreed framework rates over the life of a project.
Rates are quoted per scope and exclude mobilisation, fuel, operator subsistence, permits, standby time, overtime and night work, site access and complex-lift planning unless stated. Trip-based transport pricing follows route, load size and site-access assessment. The full internal rate card is shared during formal quotation.

★ All photos shown above are from real Hijaz job sites. Additional case studies, on-site documentation and client references available on request.
Heavy lifting is unforgiving work. We treat safety as the price of admission — not an upgrade.
Crane operators with documented, hands-on experience — load charts, signaling and rigging procedures followed on every pick.
Site assessment, ground-bearing checks, radius and load planning before any boom comes out of cradle.
Pre-shift checks on hydraulics, ropes, hooks and outriggers. Maintenance logs kept for every machine.
Lift areas barricaded, work permits and site-access arranged, signal protocols and banksmen assigned before each lift.
Helmets, hi-vis, gloves and boots — required on every Hijaz mobilisation. Crew briefings before every shift.
Operating licences and equipment registration available on request. Project-based insurance can be arranged to client and contract requirements.
Hijaz can supply operator records, equipment inspection logs, method statements and project-based insurance arrangements on request — required reading for tendering with international organizations and major contractors.
Request Documentation Pack →Anyone can park a crane on site. The difference is the plan behind it — the rigging, the ground assessment and the operator reading the load. Since 2007, in Banaadir, that's what has kept our customers coming back.
Liebherr, P&H, Hyster, Mercedes-Benz, Kobelco, Tadano — chosen for certified load charts, parts availability and uptime our competitors' Chinese rebuilds can't match.
A team of 18 — including 7 experienced crane operators — who've run these booms for years and plan the lift before the outriggers go down.
Nineteen machines under one roof — cranes from 7 t to 80 t, telehandlers, forklifts and prime movers with semi-trailers. We match the gear to the load, not the other way round.
Load charts, exclusion zones and rigging checks on every pick. No shortcuts on a heavy lift.
A straightforward path from your first call to a safely landed load.
Tell us the load, the site and the date. We talk through access and weights.
We assess ground conditions and radius, then size the crane and rigging to suit.
The right unit and crew arrive on schedule, set up and brief the lift.
Controlled, safe execution — load picked, moved and landed where it belongs.
