Borger Cranes

08/01/2026

In business terms, 2025 was an exceptional year for 𝐁o𝐫g𝐞r C𝐫a𝐧e𝐬 and 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 promises already to be even bigger, heavier, more ambitious and more far-reaching.

But none of this happened overnight. It took 45 years to reach this point. It has been 45 years since Jon and Barbara founded Borger Cranes, which is now one of Australia's leading lifting companies. From one lift in 1980 to 10,000 customers today.

And to think that this is only the beginning! It is thanks to the professionalism of our teams, whether in our offices, workshops or out in the field, and to the trust placed in us by all our loyal customers, past and present, that we are where we are today.

Thank you all for joining us on our journey. May 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 take you higher and further!

On 2 December, we were proud to welcome partners and future talent to a special industry day with Acciona AU & NZ and CICA in our headquarters in Glendenning, NSW.

The focus was firmly on the next generation and on women in the crane industry, with plenty of opportunities for young people to discover what a career around cranes can look like.

Throughout the day, visitors were able to get hands-on with crane operations using the CICA simulator, giving many their very first taste of being “in the seat” in a safe and engaging way.

Sharon Pearce from CICA led inspiring conversations with women in engineering, highlighting the vital role female talent already plays- and will increasingly play - in our sector.

A huge thank you to Sharon, and a special thanks to Anton De Pasquale from Team 18 for taking the time to speak to the many young attendees and share his experience and advice.

Borger Cranes has successfully delivered a key milestone in resilient infrastructure for Northern New South Wales. In response to recurring flood challenges, the Bluff Bridge reconstruction exemplifies industry-leading engineering, precision, and project coordination.

The installation phase, completed over three days, involved a 750-ton mobile crane and a 600-ton crawler crane. The operation's most demanding lift - an 82-ton girder at a 62-metre radius, utilizing a 260-ton counterweight -demonstrates the technical expertise and planning required for large-scale infrastructure projects.

This achievement - lead by Silverstrand - provides a durable and flood-resistant connection for the Clarence Valley region.

Borger Cranes has been tasked with delivering a critical rooftop lift at Macquarie Place in Sydney using a 400 t Grove GMK6400.

The lift study outlines the safe removal of the existing cooling towers and the installation of new plant on a highly constrained CBD rooftop, ensuring tightly controlled risk and precise ex*****on for the client.

A great project, smoothly carried out alongside Nutbrook Group 💪

Not long ago, Borger Cranes has successfully completed the first phase of its work on the QEII Hospital upgrade in Brisbane, delivering an extremely complex lift: plan and then deliver a three-crane operation in a single day, under challenging conditions.

Before any project is carried out, the set-up phase is a critical moment for gaining efficiency.

Discover on our YouTube channel how our teams worked on this preparation phase. The first part of the project is available here... Liebherr Australia

We couldn’t be prouder of 𝐊e𝐢l𝐞e J𝐨s𝐞p𝐡, now an NRLW Champion with the Brisbane Broncos after their Grand Final win over (her former club) the Roosters! 🏆

𝐊e𝐢l𝐞e first picked up a rugby league ball with the Waterford Demons JRLFC back in 2013 at just 11 years old, and later joined 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬 in 2020, working as a Dogger and Rigger.

Since then, she’s balanced two demanding careers, on the job site and on the field, before signing with the Broncos in 2024.

Her dedication, strength and teamwork perfectly reflect what 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬 stands for.

We’re honored to have such incredible talent among our team; both on and off the field.

Congratulations, 𝐊e𝐢l𝐬! Your hard work inspires us all. 💪

It all started with an announcement on 24 September 1993 - a day that would change Australia’s destiny. At the time, a small lifting company had been operating for thirteen years and employed nearly a hundred people. Its name was just starting to appear on its cranes: Borger Cranes.

From that moment until the opening of the Sydney Olympic Games on 15 September 2000 - exactly 25 years ago - Borger Cranes poured everything into meeting the challenge of this global event. That once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (soon to be twice-in-a-lifetime with Brisbane 2032!) opened new horizons and transformed the company forever.

Today, with a thousand employees, Borger Cranes stands as one of the three largest companies in the industry across Australia.
