We can't think of a better cause.

If we can add in a silly crane pun - it's uplifting.

But mostly it's just a magnificent cause. Vale Neale.

Another job executed with professionalism by our crew.

Recently, the team successfully installed 40-tonne generators onto a Level 3 gantry, utilising our GMK6450-1 equipped with a 25-metre luffing jib attachment.

Careful planning, precise ex*****on, and a highly skilled crew ensured the lifts were completed safely and efficiently, even within the project's challenging constraints.

A great result for our client and another example of delivering complex lifting solutions with confidence.

Our crane operators are known for their massive brains … but even they like a little backup!

Enter the LMI (Load Moment Indicator) — basically the crane’s way of saying:
“Hey mate… maybe don’t lift that.”

These smart systems keep an eye on everything — load weight, boom angle, reach — and will beep, flash, and carry on if things get a bit sketchy.

Think of it as a high-tech safety mate in the cab, making sure every lift stays safe, steady, and exactly where it should be.

Because at Skylift, it’s not just about lifting big things…it’s about making sure everyone goes home safe at the end of the day.

A crane is only as stable as the ground beneath it
We get asked a lot about how we know the soil will hold they weight of the crane, and the load.

It’s a good question.

And the complexity of the answer often surprises people. As we always say, there’s a lot more to crane work than meets the eye!

When a larger crane cannot be accommodated on the loading platform and the 8.5t tower starter legs need to be positioned, creative problem-solving becomes the most valuable asset.
See our GMK4100-2 lifting two MAC25-SL Franna's in a basement to finish the job.

Never thought we'd get to play in the middle of the 'G'!

Working at the MCG isn’t just another job — it’s a responsibility earned through trust, capability, and proven performance.

Skylift Cranes was proud to be engaged at Australia’s most iconic sporting venue to complete the highly specialised removal of the cricket pitches, using our own custom-designed and engineered cradles, before preparing the arena for the upcoming AFL season with fresh turf.

This wasn’t a simple lift. It required meticulous planning, precision ex*****on, and absolute care to protect the integrity of the ground.

Every movement had to be controlled, every load perfectly balanced — all while managing complex logistics, including coordinated street closures and transport operations in one of Melbourne’s busiest precincts.

Projects like this demand more than equipment — they demand experience, innovation, and a team that understands what’s at stake.

We’re incredibly proud to play a role in preparing the MCG for another season, contributing to a venue that means so much to so many Australians.

A huge thank you to the MCG team — an absolute pleasure to work with. Their professionalism and collaboration made a complex operation run seamlessly from start to finish.

And capturing it all was Drone Pilot Pete. Led by Peter Jose — a highly experienced airline pilot and instructor turned Chief Drone Pilot — his commitment to safety and precision is second to none.

Widely regarded as one of the best in the business, Pete delivered outstanding footage that truly does this project justice.

When the job is high-profile, technically demanding, and there’s no room for error — Skylift Cranes delivers.

Another well-executed job today for our partners at Delta. We utilized our ATF220G-5 to lift several machines from a recently excavated basement, with the largest weighing in at 52,000 kg, plus lifting gear.
