Can you move machinery out of a tight or awkward position?

That's most of what we do. We lift plant over fences, out of plant rooms and off hardstands where there's no room for a forklift or a larger crane to set up.

Do you transport the machinery as well as lift it?

Yes — the crane truck carries the load and lifts it, so one truck handles pick-up, transport and set-down.

Can you work to a tight or after-hours window?

We're open 24 hours and regularly work shutdowns, early starts and night windows. Tell us the window and we'll plan the lift around it.

When plant has to move, the lift is usually the hard part. Our crane trucks pick machinery up out of tight or awkward positions, transport it, and set it back down level and ready to run — all with one truck, one crew and one fixed price. We've handled generator swaps at the Port of Brisbane, containerised compressors for major civil projects and countless workshop and site relocations across South East Queensland.

Generators, compressors, pumps & civil plant

Diesel generators, screw compressors, pump sets, light towers, gearboxes, transformers, site dongas and crated equipment. If it needs to be craned rather than driven, we can move it.

Lift-and-shift out of tight or awkward positions

Plant rarely sits somewhere convenient. We lift over fences and walls, out of plant rooms and hardstands, and around live operations — rigging it properly so nothing gets damaged on the way out or the way in.

Set back down level and ready to run

Landing machinery square on its pad or footings matters as much as getting it there. We take the time to place plant accurately so commissioning isn't held up by a set-down that's out.

After-hours & tight-window relocations

We're open 24 hours. If the only window to move a generator is 4am Sunday, or a shutdown gives you four hours, that's the sort of job we're used to planning around.
