Based in Newcastle, NSW, Allied Crane Hire exudes a “family” culture and boasts a rapidly growing fleet of cranes to service Australia’s east coast.
With depots in Tomago, Mid Coast, Muswellbrook and Coffs Harbour, Allied boasts a comprehensive range of all- terrain mobile cranes to suit almost every lifting requirement.
Mid-Coast Business Development Manager Ivan Batista said many of these have come from registered suppliers, adding that the relationship Allied has built with them ensures smooth delivery of positive outcomes.
Allied’s recent addition to its crawler crane fleet was an example of this, he added.
“We found an opportunity in the market for crawler cranes, especially wet hire. We looked at what the demand was, the available machines to fit that, how we could fit in that hole, and our suppliers came up big,” Ivan said.
Allied Cranes engaged Ganz based on its merits as a Zoomlion crawler distributor.
“We saw Zoomlion machine that was available for us, and it looked to suit our needs,” said Ivan.
“Our suppliers, such as Ganz are great to deal with; They supplied what we needed from them, and then backed us up even more with their after sales service as well,” Ivan explained.
When discussing the Zoomlion crawler cranes – cranes that predominantly make up most of Allied’s mobile fleet, Ivan said the reliability is obvious with the machines.
“They are very reliable machines, but for whatever reason, they’ve really stepped their game up, and we haven’t had a mechanical issue with it since we’ve bought it,” Ivan said. “The machine turns on every day and does what we need it to do for our clients.”
And Ganz, amoung other registered suppliers have been there for Allied Crane Hire to provide some of the best cranes on the market, he adds.
“Ganz helped us a lot with the acquisition of the machine and thereafter, as they gave us a lot of support too. It helped that they were in Newcastle, where our head office is,” Ivan said.
“It just a very logical decision for us to have a machine so close to us that’s going to fill our needs. Obviously, you got to factor in one hundred different things, like transport, compliance, availability, timelines, prices, all those really important components.”
Ivan spoke to the reliable and trusted service Ganz has provided Allied Crane Hire.
“Ganz has been fantastic; they’ve supplied everything perfectly every time and the staff there have honoured their word by assisting us when we’ve needed them. Fantastic,” Ivan said.
Ivan said Ganz has been “extremely quick”, able to assist the growing team at Allied Crane Hire in remarkable time.
“When you look into the logistics of actually getting somebody interstate to arrive at the drop of a hat, jump on a plane, fly to your destination from the airport get out to site with his spanners ready to go and ready to tackle anything in front of him, it’s pretty impressive,” Ivan explains.
“They’re committed to supporting their customers. And that’s something that goes a long way in this industry.”

Ivan said he can envisage the company growing at a rate of knots, by expanding its mobile crane fleet and developing the already incredibly high skill level of Allied Crane Hire staff.
“I see us growing and growing; I think we’re taking leaps and bounds, especially the past sort of six to eight months, we’ve grown considerably as by now we operate out of four depots,” Ivan said.
Ivan rates Allied Crane Hire as a family-first crew. With many like- minded and most with young families, the team at the trusted crane provider has a special bond.
“We’re very family oriented, a lot of us have young kids and we understand that life is a balance, so we’re all built from the same cut of cloth,” said Ivan.
