IN FOCUS / TADANO AND VICTOR HARBOR CRANES
NEW OWNER AND NEW TADANO FOR VICTOR HARBOR CRANES Marcus Rigney, managing director of Load 28 and current chair of the South Australian branch of the Crane Industry Council of Australia, purchased Victor Harbor Cranes after relocating to the coastal town of Victor Harbor on the Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia late last year. RIGNEY HAS BEEN TRAVELLING BETWEEN his new home and the city of Adelaide, where he manages the Load 28 crane hire business. “Shortly after moving to Victor Harbor, I learnt of the local council’s Economic Development Strategy and long-term financial plan, which is focused on drawing more people to the region to live, work, and invest,” said Rigney.
“This strategy includes some significant infrastructure projects and I wanted to play my part in the region’s growth and development. “As it so happened, around the same time, the owner of Victor Harbor Cranes was planning to retire after running the business for 20 years. I didn’t hesitate and purchased it from him, along with a 15t Franna and a 13t city crane. “My aim is to keep Victor Harbor
Cranes as a staple within the local community and to continue to employ local residents and manage projects that keep the financial returns in the area. “As with Load 28, Victor Harbor Cranes has a very keen focus on delivering customer satisfaction in everything we do. We are also integrating the processes and systems which have worked so well in Load 28 into the Victor Harbor Cranes’ business.
The GT-300EL has a maximum lifting capacity of 30t, a boom length of 34m, and a lifting height of 34m. It also features a load radius of 32m.
