About Aussie hoist

The People

Aussie Lift and Shift was formed by five rental industry experienced veterans who each wanted to set up a company that gave service above all else to its hire customers. The director Craig Winwood-Smith has had 15 years experience at state and general manager level in the hire industry, the other four shareholders  have combined experience in the hire industry of over 40 years. The Sydney branch is run by Ish Godelek and David Abreu they are the engine room of the company, as both of these gents have worked hands on in other rental companies and continue to do so in sales and rigging roles. The Melbourne branch is directed by Mick Mulqueen with assistance from Darren Spencer who combined have had 20 years expierence in sales and rigging. Major projects will be handled by the director as he holds an engineering degree and is able to sign off on the larger job challenges. Aussie’s Lift and Shift employs 12 other qualified riggers and or trained service personal for installing and maintaining various material moving equipment.
 
About the Equipment
 
Aussie Lift and Shifts equipment is designed for moving materials or people in most any type of work environment. We have many types equipment that will provide a materials moving solution at your job. Some examples of the machines are -

1. A  man and/or materials hoist is a machine that has a travelling platform (much like a lift within a building) that enables goods and sometimes people to be moved vertically during building construction, renovation, industrial maintenance, mining applications etc. The main difference between this machine and a building lift is that a hoist can be installed anywhere (some limits apply) where a building lift requires the building to be designed around it.
2. A scissor lift is a machine that has a platform that also travels vertically but is freestanding. It is intended to safely access and allow work at height. Aussie’s scissorlift (the TPX9000) is mounted to a towable trailer, no tilt-tray truck is required for delivery, therefore the machine can be used at any time with no prior planning required. The TP9000 has auto-levelling outriggers which allows it to be safely used safely on uneven or rough terrain, something not available on a normal battery powered scissor lift.
3. A conveyor is a machine that has a travelling belt (much like the baggage conveyors at the airport) that enables materials such as sand, soil, demolition rubble, cement etc to be moved from one point to another often by ‘daisy chaining’ many conveyors together. The main difference to say the conveyors you see at the airport is that these construction conveyors are robust and are designed to be easily transported into difficult access points to make your job easier, wherever the materials for removal are.
4. A rubbish chute is a collection of tubes that enable fast and efficient channelling of rubbish down from heights into a waste collection bin. There is no faster way to remove rubbish from multi-storey building to a single collection point other than using our new 1m wide Superchutes. Our chutes also are available for industrial and mining application where vast quantities of materials need to moved and directed.

Aussie Lift and Shift transports and installs this equipment to the customer’s site, then during the period of construction/renovation/maintenance the customer is charged a rental fee for the item on site while it remains on site, at the completion of the job the machine is dismantled and the customer billed accordingly. Aussie  is responsible for supplying riggers to install the machine, mechanics/electricians  to perform preventative & breakdown maintenance during the hire period, and administration staff for billing and liaison with the site during the job.
