Advanced Rigger

Backed by the McNab Group, Electrorig is South East Queensland’s leading provider of personnel and material hoists. 

We are focused on the improvement of our fleet to provide the most reliable solutions to meet the market including a diverse range of fast, soft start construction hoists with a quick response maintenance and service team to match.

We’re proud to work with Australia’s leading construction and development companies, enhancing productivity and ensuring smooth operations on every project. Our sites are spread across all corners of SEQ – one day you’ll be city centre setting up a commercial build, and the next, taking in oceanfront views and breezes on stunning coastal developments.

Electrorig’s offering is also rapidly expanding to include more construction hire items - from loading docks, forklifts and pallet jacks to generators, water bubblers and portable toilets. Our vision is to become a one stop shop for all construction hire needs, giving our customers less to worry about onsite.
