Our Service department has carried out over 125 services and repairs, over 40 breakdowns, and 1 crane relocation project. The division welcomed 2 new employees in the service department in August – Brian Porter and Alexander Radonic (pictured left).

The manufacturing and fabrication departments have been equally as busy. They have manufactured 49 cranes in the last 6 months. They have also expanded and welcomed Wade Quince (right picture) as a qualified boilermaker, and Tony Munn (bottom left) as a 2nd-year apprentice.

MAJOR PROJECTS

Capital Cranes & Hoists built 19 cranes for John Holland as part of the expansion project. Alongside this, the manufacturing team has completed cranes for several different businesses around the world. This included a 5-tonne portal crane (for a company in Cambodia), a 10-tonne portal crane and a 1-tonne post crane (project in Northern WA), two 8-tonne and one 6.3-tonne overhead crane – supplied with runways (regional WA), and two 20-tonne overhead cranes (Perth Metro).

The service department was involved in a significant relocation project from one site to another in the Perth Metro Area. This involved taking down 8 cranes, 5 of which were relocated to another workshop, and 3 were decommissioned. This project happened over a number of weeks.

Social Media & Marketing

We decided to make a bigger online presence this year and employed a subcontractor to help us with our Digital Marketing platforms. Genevieve Frawley helps maintain the webpage, update the social media platforms, and write regular newsletters (amongst other jobs). We recently celebrated reaching 300 followers on LinkedIn and 100 followers on Instagram.

A look into next year!

2021 is already looking busy with some exciting major projects in the pipeline for both the service and manufacturing departments. We can’t give out too much information now, but if you want to keep updated you can check our Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn.
