MCT Equipment and Magni
Whether it’s safety, innovation or environmental improvements, MCT is at the cutting edge of bringing the world’s best Down Under.
THINK DIFFERENT, LIFT DIFFERENT: WITH MAGNI AND MCT
Perth’s MCT Equipment recently announced it had secured exclusive distribution rights for Magni telescopic handlers in Western Australia and Northern Territory. Founded by Anthony Grosser, MCT Equipment is expanding existing support operations to include supply, parts, and support for the Italian telescopic handling brand.
SITTING WITH ANTHONY GROSSER TO
discuss his approach to the crane industry with MCT Equipment is like a breath of fresh air. The conviction he uses in describing his aspirations for innovation in our industry is contagious and so deep that it has clearly been simmering throughout his 25-plus years in the industry. 2021 has opened up a new era for Grosser as he has nimbly responded to a long-running industry-wide demand for a supplier that could not only provide best-of-breed machinery but also build genuine, predictable relationships with clients and suppliers alike.
Forming a dedicated sales company means MCT can focus on the careful development of equipment fit for purpose, while prioritising the customer’s needs across all areas of the business.
Grosser’s lengthy experience with a myriad of international brands in the market has meant that he has seen the best, and the worst, of each. His extensive experience in the construction, mining, and infrastructure industries means there’s no pulling the wool over his eyes when it comes to getting the right results in any situation for a client.
“I knew I had the customer service side of the business covered,” he said.
“At the end of the day, it’s my name on the line if there’s an issue, and our whole team know that they hold the responsibility for that, too. Wavering from those expectations just won’t cut it.”
This like-minded team that emanates Grosser’s personal valuebase now also features his son, James. A distinguishing feature of their team, which now ensures the legacy of the Grosser name in the crane industry, is going to be carried on, along with their personal reputations for many more years to come.
To support this anticipated longevity of the MCT brand, the Grossers were meticulous in selecting a brand to partner with that would not only align with their approach to business but also meet Grosser’s ambitions to open the industry’s eyes to the innovative technologies that were available across the world. 2021 has seen the establishment of a partnership with Italian powerhouse Magni Telehandlers, which launched its world-leading telescopic handlers into the market in 2013 and, in just eight years, has rapidly secured market share.
While the development of the Magni brand across a wide variety of industries continues to grow, MCT plans to draw on the brand’s success to date with plans for future development and continuous improvement in sight.
“Aside from our lengthy admiration of Magni’s aptitude for innovation with their class-leading equipment, the Magni family approach to business was a natural fit for MCT,” noted Grosser.
“When the value base of your suppliers and partners aligns with your
own, that’s when something really special can be created. We’re on the same page about a lot of things, so we’re just thrilled to see that develop for both our businesses now.”
At MCT Equipment, lifting equipment isn’t a job, it’s a passion, he stated.
‘We thrive on challenging the industry on what they know about equipment. Whether it’s safety, innovation, environmental improvements, we are at the cutting edge of bringing the world’s best Down Under. For us, it’s not just about sourcing, it’s about supporting and making sure you’re being looked after on the ground. You’ll find that while everyone else is concerned about lifting 50 tonnes 100m, we are trying to lift 50kg upside down, inside out, and through a keyhole.
“We’re committed to bringing you only the highest standards. Not only do we scour the globe for only the best products and machinery before we bring them back home, but we have a strict internal quality assurance program that has been developed over 25 years.”
MCT has three key focus areas:
• New equipment • Used equipment • Workshop facilites
NEW EQUIPMENT – SOURCED BY THE BEST AROUND THE GLOBE
At MCT, the range of innovative lifting options available to the Western Australian and Northern Territory markets have significantly opened up.
“With a selection of our machines available to be inspected in our Maddington headquarters, our full

range is able to be delivered swiftly to your operation. Rotary telehandlers, heavy-duty telehandlers, and fixed telehandlers form part of our new equipment offering,” said Grosser.
USED EQUIPMENT – USED CRANES WITH A NEW CRANE EXPERIENCE
“At MCT, we combine experience, a structured sales methodology, and a deep network of industry contacts to get the sale done,” expained Grosser.
“All machines that are sourced come in for thorough inspection at MCT then, if required, go through a full refurbishment prior to getting a new owner. This improves and extends the machine life-cycle, getting it ready for its second wind.
“Within MCT’s used division, we offer three key areas of support to ensure customers receive the equipment needed with minimal downtime. These key areas are: 1. Sale of high quality used equipment – MCT will source the required equipment through its local and international network of trusted partners, handling all stages of the process. 2. Disposal of existing assets – before commencement, the MCT team will provide a structured disposal plan to secure full visibility of the process from start to finish. 3. Refurbishment of tired machinery – refurbished units are serviced to the highest standards with compliance and quality at the forefront, every time.”
WORKSHOP – MCT’S PROMISE IS OUR GUARANTEE
“At MCT, you can trust in our philosophy that the work doesn’t stop when the equipment leaves the workshop,” said Grosser.
“Our team understands the importance of protecting your investment, giving you peace of mind that your equipment matters to us as much on day 200 as it does on day 0.
“We believe that our promise is your guarantee, doing our part to minimise downtime and disruption with aroundthe-clock support, so you can get on with the important business of running your business.
“From servicing support and training, to critical failures and general advice from our team of seasoned professionals, our workshop is the best of the best.”
MCT AND MAGNI
As leaders in the lifting industry, MCT is constantly looking towards cutting-edge technology in this space. This is where the Italian telescopic handler giant, Magni, comes into play. MCT has secured exclusive Western Australia and Northern Territory distribution rights for this sustainable telehandler option. This is the game-changer.
“Magni is not your average telehandler. This is innovation at its best, where one machine does the job of numerous machines,” said Grosser.
The addition of Magni to MCT Equipment’s existing support operations now means it now has the capacity to offer new and used equipment, alongside its providing servicing and parts. In addition, the team offers reconditioning and refurbishing services across WA and NT.
The Magni range of telehandlers are true chameleons for all manner of industries, whether it be mining industry (where MCT’s roots began in 2001), construction, agriculture, or industry.
