Thanks to Load 28 for the excellent service and professionalism you provide.”
“Load 28 have worked on two of our recent major projects as the subcontract installer for the façade of the Adelaide Oval redevelopment and Flinders University at Tonsley.
Load 28 place a lot of importance on planning their work and are diligent in carrying out that plan with respect to working safely. Their safety system is very professional and they make every effort to comply with all our corporate EHS requirements.”
“We used Load 28 for our Cranage on a 7 storey apartment building, using a MCH125 Tower Crane & Mobile Cranes.
The operating crew were excellent and worked in with us as a team which made my life easier.
I would recommend Load 28 and this type of Tower Crane for sites where room is tight & access also restricted.”
