Inside: From supporting complex lifting works above Sydney’s Central Station rail to taking you behind the scenes of an LGH hire, September has kept us busy. We’re also counting down to CICA 2026, strengthening industry connections across the Hunter and putting an important focus on the R U OK? Any Day message.
Three years after being installed above Sydney’s Central Station rail corridor, the overhead protection decks at the Atlassian Central development are now coming down.
LGH Australia recently supported Quality Rigging Structural Erectors with the complex removal works, supplying our CMOD 50 Spreader Frame to assist with lifting the large deck sections from above the live rail corridor.
See how our equipment supported the lift and take a closer look at the project here.
Hiring lifting and rigging equipment might seem simple from the outside – request the gear, receive a quote and get it to site. But there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to make sure the right equipment is ready when and where it’s needed.
From understanding the project requirements and checking availability to in-house inspection and testing, coordinating freight and preparing equipment for its next hire, every stage plays a part.
We’ve taken you behind the scenes at LGH Australia to show what happens from the first request right through to equipment return. Read here!
The countdown is officially on! In just a few weeks, the LGH Australia team will be heading to the Hunter Valley for the 2026 CICA National Conference, taking place from 28–30 October.
You’ll find us at Stand 24, where we’ll be showcasing some of our specialist lifting and rigging equipment and talking all things lifting, rigging and hire.
We’re looking forward to catching up with familiar faces, meeting new ones and being part of one of the biggest events on the Australian crane industry calendar.
We recently joined fellow HunterNet members at Orica’s Kooragang facility for another General Members Meeting.
The visit included a tour of the facility, providing a closer look at the scale of Orica’s operations in the Hunter, followed by updates and conversations from businesses across the network.
For LGH Australia, being part of HunterNet is a valuable opportunity to continue building relationships across the region, stay connected with local industry and better understand the projects and challenges shaping the Hunter.
A big thank you to HunterNet and the Orica team for another great event.
September gave us an important reminder that asking “R U OK?” shouldn’t be limited to just one day of the year.
At LGH Australia, we put a strong focus on the R U OK? Any Day message throughout the month, encouraging our team to check in, start conversations and make time for the people around them.
We also came together for an R U OK? morning tea at our Somersby facility – a simple opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, catch up as a team and reinforce the importance of staying connected.
It’s a message worth carrying with us beyond September: a conversation can make a difference, any day of the year.
