End of an era:

Today i am happy to publicly anounce that my family company of 44yrs has been sold to Universal cranes.

I was born the same year my parents Neil and Beth Matherson founded the company in 1979.I joined the company in 2000 My sister Tanya and i retired mum and dad in 2009 and in 2012 i aquired 100% ownership.

Since then along with my fantastic management team and wonderful work force we continued to grow a brand that we are all very proud of.

I could not be happier with how this chapter has come to an end and am more than confident Adam Bauer and his wife Sarah of Universal Cranes Central Queensland will continue to serve our over 500 customers very well.

Special mentions to: Neil and the late Beth Matherson. Tanya Prentis (Matherson). Kym McBryde, Jason Williams and Kurt Williams. My dreams were realised so much easier with people like you around me

THANK YOU 🙏

Our 100t Demag has been busy helping private and industrial clients achieve their required outcomes. 💪

The private job was to place a 40ft contaier over a house into the back yard.

The industrial job was lifting out 20t Kato into a bunded area ready for a week long shutdown.

Our 250t team recently assisted Gladstone Regional Council in the removal of the access bridge to Agnes waters main beach after the footings got washed out.

It was another job perfectly executed in a tight working location.

Clean up and reload day and ready to go to Agnes waters for 3 days on Monday🏝

Lately im am starting to forget what the 250t looks like....... For that matter the rest of the fleet as well!! Not a bad problem to have at all in the equipment hire game😊

The team have been working tirelessly and this weekend i decided to block out for anywork to allow them all to recharge, spend time with family.

Thank you team for how you show up and what you do👌

Have a great weekend all.

We currently have a crew working on Heron Island. Pretty tough gig for the crew when due to restraints of being so remote meams they are stuck there for a week and at best have 4 lifts to do.

Im starting to wonder why i didnt send my self with pics like this 🤷‍♂️

Picture perfect winters evening for our 250t Liebherr and crew fully stacked with 88t of counterweight 💪working Sunday afternoon shift to catch the high tide.

The task was to lift an 18t precast slab off its casting bed at 27m radius, slew 180deg and place onto a barge at 26m radius.

The job was done with ease and efficiency by the team.

The team in Rockhampton are having a terrible week...............

Apparently 😂

Our Kato CR 200 20t is assisting with access to complete surface protection maintenance on water infrastructure. Better yet they are already ahead of the program👏

Judging by the pictures and how happy they were with the meals and their accom i am not sure if they want to come home.

29/05/2022

Our Kato CR 200 20t loaded on our Western Star and Step deck trailer ready to roll early in the morning.

We have a crew traveling out of town for a week for a valued client.

Yes the client could have sourced a crane where they are working but preferred to engage the MCH team as they know our crew and trust the investment of mobilising us from Gladstone ensures the a safe and quality outcome for the project👌

A great day for the BITS U14 Football Qld Premier League team taking a 5 -2 win ⚽️

Awesome work to all involved in the team and looking very sharp in the jerseys 👏👌

27/05/2022

The team have been absolutely humming the last few weeks so we booked out some time to catch up on essential things like maintenance and keeping the fleet looking sharp 👌

We spent 2 whole days detailing the 250t Liebherr from top to bottom. Yes 2 WHOLE DAYS !!! Shes a big unit with alot of pieces.

Then this afternoon as the crews started rolling in we all jumped in and gave each other a hand to wash and shine each others cranes.

It was great afternoon and awesome to see the team working together to uphold the MCH values and quality 😎

We are not just sharp at what we do, we look sharp too.

Thank you all 🙏
