LGH (Lifting Gear Hire)—North America’s leading provider of lifting and rigging equipment rentals—has officially expanded operations into Australia. The new location, headquartered in Somersby, New South Wales, will serve as LGH’s first hub in the Asia-Pacific region, marking a major milestone in the company’s global growth.
LGH expands into the Australian market with a new location in Somersby, Central Coast, New South Wales.
The Australian division will offer a wide selection of core rental equipment, including:
• Hoists, clamps, and rigging gear (e.g., slings and spreader beams)
• Hydraulic jacks and rams
• Material handling tools
While initial operations are focused on the New South Wales region, LGH’s growing fleet will be available nationwide.
With deep roots in North America and Europe, LGH continues to pursue strategic markets with strong demand across construction, infrastructure, energy, mining, petrochemical, and marine industries. Australia represents a natural extension of LGH’s footprint, sharing both industrial needs and a rigorous commitment to safety and quality.
Ian Parkinson, LGH Chairman, explained:
“Expanding into Australia is the most significant move we’ve made since opening our first North American hub in Chicago back in 1990. The Australian market mirrors many of the challenges and standards we’ve successfully navigated in the U.S. and Canada. Our aim is to support contractors with the same level of service, safety, and technical expertise they’ve come to expect from LGH.”
LGH Australia launches with a team of experienced professionals and partnerships with trusted local and global manufacturers—including SpanSet, Durapac, Tiger Lifting, JD Neuhaus, and Modulift. Every product is selected to meet the highest standards of safety, innovation, and reliability.
Ian continued:
“With continued investment across Australia’s infrastructure, manufacturing, and defense sectors, the timing was right. We’re here to build long-term relationships and offer re-rental solutions that help contractors operate efficiently and safely.”
