Ongoing drill repairs– SMW Drilling
Central West Cranes Services undertakes ongoing work with SMW Drilling to assist with drill repairs on a mine site.
This type of work requires the insertion and removal of drill rods into the main drill and can be complex necessitating skilled operators.Yantabulla Communications Tower - Commplete Group
This project was undertaken in November 2024. Central West Crane Services provided crane hire to assist with the erection of a emergency services communication tower for Commplete Group.
We used our 220 ton Grove mobile crane to achieve 110 m tip height for a final tower height of 100 m. This required the use of inserts and fly and needle.
The project had some challenges due to the remote location approx. 120kms North West of Bourke NSW in hot and windy conditions.
Wollar Sub Station - Downer
This project was undertaken June through to September 2022. The approval and construction of the Wollar Solar Farm necessitated the construction of a new substation by Transgrid. Central West Crane Services provided mobile crane hire for the assembly of the sub station. We completed the following tasks: lifting in switch rooms, busbar and participating in the cranage of the transformer.
Wollar Powerline Extension - Downer
This project was undertaken June through to September 2022. The extension of the powerline for Transgrid was required to deliver power generated from the Wollar Solar Farm to the existing local electricity network. Central West Crane Services provided crane hire starting at the foundations of the transmission tower through to the erection of the tower.
Mine Major Works - Peabody
Works for Peabody (Wilpinjong Coal Mine) are ongoing. Two examples in 2024 include a 100 ton D11 dozer recovery and a 50 ton excavator recovery. Both of these projects were the result of engine failures in the mining equipment. Central West Crane Services provided emergency mobile crane services to lift and move the equipment to allow for repairs and to ensure the mining operations could continue in a timely manner.
We’ve been working with Central West Crane Services for a while now, and their 24/7 service has been invaluable to our mine site operations. Their team brings exceptional energy, professionalism, and adaptability to every job, no matter the time or challenge. Whether it’s tight deadlines, harsh weather, or complex logistics, they always find a solution and execute with efficiency.
What truly stands out is their commitment to safety and the quality of their equipment. We know we can rely on them to get the job done safely and with well-maintained, reliable machinery. It’s a pleasure working with a company that consistently delivers on both performance and peace of mind. Highly recommend!

This project was undertaken March through to September of 2023. Located 11kms north east of Yass, Rye Park Wind Farm will be the largest constructed wind farm in NSW to date. Rye Park Wind Farm will consist of 66 turbines, with a maximum generating capacity of 396MW, and will produce enough clean energy to power 215,000 homes to reduce carbon emissions by around 960,000 tons per year. Central West Crane Services build the LG 1750, a 750 ton lattice crane, which erected the wind turbines.
Mining camp Wilpinjong NSW - ATCO
