Information & Plant

In February of 1997 Atlas Cranes Northland was established by Glenn and Jane Lowther. We are a family-based company providing our services to the wider Northland region. We have over 40 years of experience in the crane industry. The company began its operation with two cranes, and we now run a fleet of cranes ranging in size from our 13-ton rough terrain crane right through to our 130 ton All Terrain crane, plus a Hiab. We run three trucks to support our cranes and to provide general cartage and transportation within our company.


Jimmy Lowther joined the family business in 2002 after completing his National Certificate in Carpentry and is now in the owner of the company. In 2023 Jimmy and his wife Renee bought the company from Jane and Glenn and have both their sons working with them.


We pride ourselves in having an excellent record in health and safety. Our staff are trained to the highest standard and all our operators hold their National Certificate in Mobile Crane Operation, a NZQA qualification, or they are in the process of obtaining their certificate.
