Congratulations to Junior Trego, our Crane Operator and Rigger Dogman, recognised as “Worker of the Month” for September on the New Dunedin Hospital project.

Junior is known for getting stuck in, supporting the wider team and building great relationships with other trades. He’s also a bit of a character on site!

The Heavy Lifter Has Arrived!

The mighty Liebherr LTM1500 (500t) has arrived at our Christchurch yard! We believe it’s the largest mobile crane ever to set foot in the South Island.

Since being imported in March 2026, this powerhouse has proven to be an exceptional addition to our fleet, delivering across a range of major projects nationwide.

From Northland to Southland, Smith Crane & Construction has played a key role in recent windfarm construction across New Zealand and remains a trusted partner for all windfarm construction and maintenance. We’re also a preferred supplier for maintenance lifting for New Zealand’s renewable energy generators and OEM turbine suppliers.

Engineering the Lift Behind the Lift

The Liebherr 200 EC-B Tower Crane is now installed and operational at the Mistry Centre, Hamilton’s tallest building, which is undergoing a $100 million retrofit to transform the 18-level building into a luxury hotel.

Getting the tower crane into position took some serious lifting power of its own. Our Grove GMK6400 with fixed fly jib provided the supporting lift, working alongside our team to safely assemble, install and commission the tower crane.
