What Interstate Crane & Transport Hire PTY LTD does

Interstate Crane & Transport Hire PTY LTD operates the heavy-lift crane and heavy-haul transport division of the Fremantle Steel Group, headquartered in Jandakot, Western Australia. The company's fleet includes a 350-tonne Liebherr LTM-6.1 crane with a 134m boom (the largest single-unit lifting asset in the group), a 200-tonne unit, a 160-tonne unit, two 100-tonne all-terrain cranes, a 55-tonne rough-terrain crane, and three 25-tonne all-terrain units. Its road transport fleet comprises 15 prime movers, 50 multi-combination trailers, and 90 flat rack containers, supporting project cargo movement across Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

The company serves mining, oil and gas, infrastructure, and commercial-industrial sectors, with stated emphasis on major LNG projects and resource-sector work. It participates in modular construction logistics through its parent group's combined capabilities in steel fabrication (Fremantle Steel Fabrication, with 40,000-tonne per annum output capacity) and engineering (Park Engineers), under the Fremantle Steel Group umbrella. Digital project management is delivered through 4D Building Information Modeling using Navisworks integrated with Primavera P6, alongside a Traceability and Barcoding system for asset tracking across fabrication and transport operations.

The business model is project-based heavy equipment hire and contract transport, charging day/tonnage rates on crane assets and per-shipment fees on prime-mover and trailer work. Customer engagement is anchored in long-tenured relationships with resource-sector project owners and repeat commercial clients, with the parent group's integrated offering enabling bundled fabrication, engineering, and transport packages. The company is privately held with no public tickers or disclosed financials; 7 employees are attributed to the transport division specifically. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, public partnerships, or external funding events are disclosed in the available material.
