Load 28 acquires Victor Harbor Cranes!
Load 28 is excited to announce it has expanded its services into the South Coast with the acquisition of Victor Harbor Cranes. The recent purchase increases the company’s fleet to 21 cranes, capable of managing projects of all sizes across metropolitan Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Managing Director Marcus Rigney, who recently moved to Victor Harbor, saw an opportunity to bring his many years of experience and expertise in crane hire to the region, which is set to see significant growth in the next few years.
“Victor Harbor and the wider South Coast region is growing rapidly with people flocking there since the onset of COVID-19,” said Marcus Rigney.
“It is in a fantastic position to generate sustainable economic activity, with such close proximity to Adelaide and set in a desirable beach side location,” he said.
“The local Council’s Economic Development Strategy and long term financial plan is focused on drawing more people to the region to live, work and invest, and includes some significant projects to support this,” Marcus said.
“We hope to play our part in the region’s growth and development with our recent acquisition of Victor Harbor Cranes and I feel privileged to take the reigns from Greg, both enhancing the service of VHC and extending the service of Load 28.”

Tower Crane Dismantle
Adelaide University
Check out our recent tower crane dismantle from the University of Adelaide. It demonstrates the Load 28 family working together with safety and precision, including Managing Director Marcus Rigney’s eldest son carrying out some important duties around the 1 min 30 sec mark!
This was an extremely challenging and tricky project, navigating our Mobile LTM1230 into position, whilst ensuring we protect the University surroundings and pavements, including having to carefully navigate 12 semi trailers into position.
We completed the job successfully because we planned the work carefully and then worked the plan. Every lift and movement was planned, documented, analysed for efficiency and safety and put into action.

Built Training Session
Lift Planning
Load 28 Managing Director Marcus Rigney recently presented a training session to the Built Site team trainees. Drawing on some resources from the Crane Industry Association, the training session provided an overview on understanding lift planning and the basic elements needed on site to facilitate safe construction lifting.
Points of discussion also included what crane contractors need on site, what information we provide and how this is interpreted. Some good real life examples were discussed as well including lessons learned, which are always powerful.
At Load 28, we love the ‘Built’ culture, working hard on the front end to foster a successful future that enhances both safety and efficiency on construction sites. We are proud to be part of this investment, contributing towards building ‘built worthy’ sites and people.
