When height is not a problem






Picture our GMK4075 "Awesome" with Sully at the controls works with the team from JP Marshall Engineering. In the centre picture Mike directs a new conveyor into place at Inghams and shows us that height is not a problem as he works safely over looking the Mount wharf.


In the background of the second picture you can see one of the huge grain silos built by JP Marshall. As its almost finished but currently empty I managed to take a peak inside where I took this photo. Very cool.

Roofing Iron Placement- All About Reach

It's not often you have to reach that little bit further. Pictured the GMK5130 130 Tonne Crane, with 60 Metres of main boom and 18 metres of fly creating a combined boom length of 78 metres, reaches over 101 Aerodrome Rd for Bob Clarkson and Harkin Roofing. The picture was taken from around 20 Metres high in an access boom. Not a great feeling 100% trust in the operator and few white knuckles as I held on.

Lofty and the cruise ship Gangway
