OUR HISTORY
Established in 1997 by four small-to-medium businesses seeking to compete with the major lifting and rigging suppliers in the Australian market, the Global Lifting Group was built on a simple principle: collective strength.
By combining purchasing power and approaching international suppliers under one recognised name, our founding members could access markets and products that would otherwise have been out of reach. We quickly established relationships with major international manufacturers including Thiele Chain (Germany), Bridon Ropes (UK) and DSR Corporation (Korea).
Today, our preferred partner program includes WireCo Australia, Andromeda Industries, Townley Drop Forge, Yoke Industrial Corp, Allan Marketing Group, Pacific Hoists and Spanset Australia — and our membership spans every Australian state and territory, as well as South East Asia.
