Fresh Site Highlights Business Growth

The fresh new premises for Queensland Rigging Hire (QRH) herald an important moment in the company’s history. A site three times larger than its previous will allow it to keep up with the growth that has seen it succeed thus far.

Prior to launching the business in 2017, Ben Fitzgerald was the national sales manager for a lifting equipment wholesale company, and he had been in that role for three years.

“My wife Jess and I started the business in March 2017 and we went all in, we knew the industry and what we were doing had a place within it and this new site is the culmination of that hard work,” said Fitzgerald.

“We have a very extensive range of specialist rigging and lifting equipment that we know is the gear crane operators and riggers need.

“We are both extremely proud of how far we we have come. We have millions of dollars of high-quality rigging equipment and there are not many jobs we say no to,” he said.

QRH moved from its original premises on the Gold Coast to the new facility based in Archerfield, only 10 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, with the facility undergoing a full renovation of its offices, bathrooms, and showroom.

“We have put a lot of effort into making this new site a one stop shop, and making it a much easier experience to find exactly what you are looking for. A client can walk in, and we have a room set up with shackles, a room with clutches and rooms for load cells,” said Fitzgerald.

QRH has put plans in place to build a mezzanine within the warehouse that will allow them to install sandblasting facilities, painting stations, test benches, and mechanical maintenance equipment.
