Ever wondered what it looks like when a self-erecting tower crane comes down and another one goes up? 🏗️
This time-lapse captures the pack down of our trusty Potain HD40 self-erecting tower crane, making way for a Potain IGO36 at our training yard.
It’s a great look at the setup, movement and coordination typically involved, and another unique reason to train with us for your next crane licence!
We were proud to be the cart sponsor for the Bert & CIP Golf Day on 26 June.
Together, we helped raise over $30,000 for Mates in Construction and other charities supporting workers across the Queensland construction industry.
Thanks to everyone who played, donated, and made it happen. ❤️

Part 2 of Gabby's journey in our 'Crane Pathway' series.
Gabby's training pathway: DG licence ➜ RB ➜ RI ➜ C6
Gaining licences is 'a licence to learn'. Employers want you to have experience, or prove that you are willing to do what it takes to get it. Being tenacious and a little creative, with a 'can-do' attitude is certainly one way. We love your work Gabby! ❤️
When the trainer, becomes the apprentice...there's more than one way to tie a bowline!

Tools down, hooks up, legends. Happy Labour Day!
Queensland doesn’t move without tradies. The early starts, big days and the teamwork that keeps jobs ticking along - we see you. Labour Day’s a solid reminder to appreciate the people behind the progress (and the safe habits that get everyone home).
We'll be joining you in a bit of RnR, but will be all hands on deck Tuesday, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
