Background

Joseph and Sheree Conti, Directors of Brisbane City Cranes, established the company in 2010. Joe’s background in construction prompted the purchase of their first crane, a 16t Kobelco City Crane, to assist in their own projects. Joe’s connections in the construction industry quickly created opportunities to expand the fleet in 2013, with the addition of a 45t Liebherr City Crane.

Over the last 16 years, the fleet has expanded from one crane to 11, ranging from a 20t City, up to a 150t All Terrain Crane. The growth of the business has been the direct result of providing quality people and equipment and having competent operators & riggers passionate about the industry and the service they provide.
Our growth is also attributed to the relationships with our loyal and diverse client base.
