New Zealand-based Preston Hire NZ has completed the installation of a five-ton gantry crane, including the necessary columns and runners.

The project faced a challenge as the client’s machine was set up before the gantry’s arrival, complicating the installation process.

Preston Hire NZ leveraged its spider cranes and forklifts to effectively manage the installation alongside the existing machinery.

The company, in a LinkedIn post, stated: “It was great to be onsite, working closely with the team on a job that was so much more than just a spider crane hire.

“We went above and beyond, solving our customer’s problem end-to-end. Count on us to get your lifting done — even in the tightest spaces.”

With over five decades in the construction equipment hire industry, Preston Hire NZ is an established player in New Zealand.

The company has a diverse fleet, including machinery from Sennebogen, UNIC, and Maeda, to enhance efficiency and safety on construction sites.

Beyond equipment rental, Preston Hire NZ offers customised services and solutions to address specific project needs.

Its Maeda spider cranes are suitable for confined spaces, ensuring precise control.

The company also offers additional services like SuperDeck loading platforms, operator training, and quality propping installations.

Operating across New Zealand, Preston Hire NZ also serves major Australian cities, including Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Darwin.
