Brings back memories of the Years gone by, out at your awesome place in Welcome Bay, the little Crawler Crane and Digger we’d set up for the kids to play. Well done guys for keeping it alive and well.

Weβre thrilled to share that our powerhouse crane, the LTR11200, recently completed its very first project on Beams Road in Brisbane! This impressive machine played a crucial role in the Level Crossing Removal Project, where it helped construct a new bridge over a live rail line.Thanks to the expertise of our crane crew and a seamless partnership with our client, we successfully installed all 9 beams in just one shift (instead of two), finishing ahead of schedule β and safely.

On Saturday, 2nd of November, Universal Cranes joined the Brisbane Convoy for Kids 2024, a charity event featuring a parade of trucks and vehicles that raises funds for children's charities and supports children in need.A total of 840 trucks gathered at the Redcliffe Showgrounds, and alongside our trucks, we displayed our mobile cranes. The kids were thrilled to see these up close, and our drivers did an incredible job showing them around the cranes and trucks.A big thank you to the entire Universal Cranes team who participated in this event, especially to Zane Raymond and Terry Raymond for helping to organize it.We hope we brought smiles to kids of all ages! β€οΈ

I walked into that yard 17 years ago with no experience and got a start. I will always be grateful to the Smith family for giving me a go !
Amazing job guys, I hope Clark was there to MC the event! Keep up the great work and keep the milestones coming.
The Unisauras .. What a cracking looking machine. π
The official launch event of the LTR 11200 took place on August 29th at the Universal Cranes Brisbane Yard. It was an incredible opportunity for our customers to understand the versatility of this crane. With its high lifting capacities and various boom options, it is perfectly suited for a wide array of applications across the industrial, mining, infrastructure, wind, and energy sectors.We are thrilled that the strongest telescopic boom crawler crane on the market is now the latest addition to the Universal Cranes fleet.Thank you to all the customers who attended this amazing event and to our incredible team, who worked hard to make it happen. A special mention to the Liebherr team for their professionalism and support in making this event possible.

Universal Cranes has ordered Trade Mutt Hi Vis shirts for the whole crew in Brisbane, Roma, and Central Queensland. By wearing a funky shirt every Friday, we are turning the best day of the week into a day where we can all take ownership of our own mental health and encourage meaningful conversations with those around us. πͺ

This is an amazing initiative that we’re so proud of. Tragically, workers in the construction industry are 6 times more likely to die by suicide than in a workplace accident. We spend so much time and energy focusing on physical safety, which is obviously important too, but the stats are telling us that your mental wellbeing is just as (if not more) important. TradeMutt shirts are a great conversation opener for you blokes who struggle to be vulnerable and talk about what’s going on in your inner world. There’s always someone who will be willing to lend an ear!
A 100% worthwhile & profound initiative, how can it not be!!!!β£οΈI’m so proud of our company Universal Cranes supporting this. We care for our Team/ for our guys! I sincerely hope our Bros across the Tasman have a similar set up/ support group if not Daniel Smith get on it! R U OK?
I hope it starts those conversations. π€ππΌ

It was an honour to host Brisbane Broncos legend Shane Webcke as our safety guest speaker at Universal Cranes Brisbane this week. Shane's thought-provoking story telling of the impact to his family due to a workplace incident involving his father and his own personal safety journey resonated well with our team. #safetyisadecision #stopsafetycomplacency #BrisbaneBroncos #shanewebcke

Universal Cranes is among the top 5 companies that raised the highest amount of funds for Mater Cancer Research in 2024. We raised over $13,400 (in addition to the company's corporate sponsorship) for breast cancer research through our participation in the International Women's Day Fun Run in Brisbane.The Fun Run event was yesterday, and the sea of pink wave was full of energy, smiles, and happiness. We had a crane positioned along the course, displaying a Universal Cranes flag. Our crane provided a scenic backdrop for over 26,000 people who were running, jogging, and walking through the event, allowing them to take photos.A special thank you to all the Universal Cranes team, clients, and partners who made donations and contributed to this important cause. Check out some fun moments of the Universal Cranes team at Fun Run: #UniversalCranes #IWDFUNRUN #breastcancersupport #UNIVERSALCRANESAUSTRALIA
