The action could halt major sites across the country with London hardest hit.
Drivers at leading crane rental company Wolffkran, represented by Unite, have voted to start a series of 24-hour strikes on Tuesday January 27 then every fortnight after that.
The Enquirer understands around 90 drivers are union members at the crane rental giant.
A crane driver source said the dispute centred on a lack of pay rises over the last three years.
He said: “The drivers feel they aren’t being offered a fair wage for what is a vital job.
“Any strike action would have a major impact because we wouldn’t expect others to cross a picket line.”
The Enquirer understands further talks with Wolffkran are due before the first planned strike.
The source said: “Stopping work is always a last resort so hopefully a deal can be struck.”
