Ronco Group

What Ronco Group does

Ronco Group is a family-owned construction equipment and engineering company headquartered in Maddington, Western Australia, operating as a multi-brand dealer for XCMG (cranes and lifting equipment), TII SCHEUERLE (self-propelled modular transporters, KAMAG industrial heavy transporters, wind systems, heavy-duty modules), Hyva (hook loaders, skip loaders, elevated work platforms, vehicle loading cranes), TIDD (truck cranes), and TRT (transport trailers, outrigger pads). Founded in 1998, the company represents these manufacturers across Australia with a primary base in Western Australia, serving construction, transport and logistics, mining, waste handling, and infrastructure customers who require heavy lifting, heavy transport, and material handling solutions.

The company's underlying capability rests on an in-house engineering team with 25+ years of experience in custom crane and elevated work platform design, supported by a fully equipped workshop at Maddington that handles major inspections, boom repairs, lattice section replacement, and complete overhauls to Australian Standards AS1418 and AS2550. Ronco also manufactures proprietary products including outrigger planks, support stools, and a Power Line Detection System, while operating a 20+ year global spare parts procurement network serving all makes and models. The business holds five CICA Gold Plates and an Engineers Choice Award, anchoring its positioning in regulated inspection and rebuild services.

Commercially, Ronco runs a sales-led, quote-based B2B model with no public pricing. Revenue is generated across four streams: one-time equipment sales (new and used), one-time spare parts procurement, and recurring professional services including major and annual inspections, CraneSafe green sticker coordination, de-mobilization/commissioning, machine surveys, environmental cleaning (EPA-compliant wash pad), and custom design and engineering. Distribution is direct from the Maddington headquarters via phone (1800 CRANES), email, website inquiry, and a trade plant equipment online shop, complemented by the brand principals' international dealer networks. The company employs approximately 15 staff and is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding events, or M&A activity in the source data.
