Lined up and ready to roll — three of our 25t Frannas and one 20t Franna. Just four of the many Frannas in our fleet, backed by a full range of cranes from the smallest pick‑and‑carry to the largest all‑terrain heavy lifters.

Frannas are an Australian invention, designed for versatility and speed on the job. Perfect for tight access, quick relocations, and those tricky lifts where a big crane just won’t fit - it’s no wonder they’re a worksite favorite across the country.

No matter the size of your lift - big or small - we’ve got the gear and the experience to get the job done safely and efficiently.

🏗️ Lift in the Heart of Geelong 🏗️

A little throwback to when our Liebherr LTM1130 – 130t all‑terrain crane was set up on Moorabool Street, lifting at GMHBA Stadium, home of the Geelong Cats.

It’s not every day you get to work at such an iconic local landmark. Jobs like this are a great reminder of the diversity and capability of our team and fleet. From stadium upgrades and community infrastructure to wind farms, construction projects, and industrial heavy lifts - we’ve got the gear and the know‑how to make it happen.

With cranes big and small, a skilled crew, and a commitment to safety and quality, we’re proud to support projects across all industries - right here in Geelong.

Engineered precision, delivered with confidence.

Earlier this year, one of our Grove 250t All Terrain cranes was deployed on a major infrastructure project, tasked with lifting and installing a large prefabricated building module into position adjacent to live traffic and overhead rail infrastructure.

This wasn’t just a lift - it was a planned and engineered operation from start to finish. McKay United supplied a fully certified lift study, custom lifting gear to suit the load geometry, and expert supervision on site to ensure seamless ex*****on.

With tight timeframes, live traffic conditions, and zero margin for error, our team delivered the lift safely, on time and within budget - proving again that experience, planning and capability make the difference when it counts.
