In today’s market, with rising construction and infrastructure costs, it’s natural for contractors to look for ways to keep budget under control. From regional builds to large-scale industrial projects, every dollar counts.
But when it comes to lifting and rigging equipment, the cheapest option isn’t always the safest and increasingly, that’s a conversation being had across the industry. Many contractors are recognising the long-term value of certified lifting equipment hire, knowing that properly maintained, tested and traceable gear delivers confidence on every lift.
Whether it’s the unknown history of equipment that’s changed hands multiple times, or uncertainty around testing and certification, the risk is real: unverified equipment can compromise safety, compliance and your projects reputation.
When lifting equipment isn’t properly maintained, tested, or certified, there’s more to lose than just time. Hidden wear, fatigue, or prior misuse can lead to equipment failure — putting both workers and assets at risk.
Without traceable certification, it’s difficult to confirm if equipment still meets Australian Standards or has been maintained to the manufacturers specifications. That means project managers shoulder the liability if something goes wrong.
At LGH, we remove that uncertainty. Every piece of equipment in our fleet is:
✅ Certified to relevant Australian Standards
✅ Individually inspected and load-tested in-house at our Somersby facility
✅ Maintained and tracked through its full service life
It’s the assurance that when you hire from LGH, you’re not just getting the right tool for the job — you’re getting proof of quality, performance, and safety that’s been tested and verified by specialists.
Hiring certified lifting equipment isn’t just about compliance — it’s about confidence. You know your equipment has been tested, tagged and is ready to perform. And once the job’s done, there’s no ongoing cost, maintenance, or storage to worry about.
From chain hoists and spreader beams to load monitoring equipment, LGH delivers reliability that supports both productivity and peace of mind.
Australia’s lifting and rigging industry continues to evolve — and so does the expectation for safety and compliance.
At LGH, we’re proud to help raise that standard with an in-house tested rental fleet, backed by global expertise and a commitment to safety that never wavers.
Because when the lift depends on it, certified confidence matters.
