Material Handling Equipment for Construction Projects
Mini Cranes: Compact Design, Effortless Operation
In the construction industry, precision lifting and space efficiency are essential—especially in increasingly tight and complex build environments. Monitor’s range of mini cranes offers the perfect solution for lifting tasks where traditional cranes can’t operate. With compact footprints, impressive lifting capacities, and remote-control operation, our mini cranes are ideal for high-rise construction, fit-outs, steel erection, HVAC installations, and material handling in restricted-access zones.
Whether you’re working in a basement, navigating a multi-storey structure, or positioning materials in tight urban sites, our mini crawler and spider cranes deliver the power, reach, and flexibility needed to get the job done safely and efficiently.
Glass Handling Lifts: Cutting-Edge Design, Compact and Powerful
When it comes to handling large, heavy, or delicate panels on-site, safety, precision, and efficiency are key. Monitor’s Winlet Glass Lifters are engineered to meet the demands of modern construction and glazing work, combining cutting-edge hydraulic technology with a compact, manoeuvrable design. Manufactured in Denmark, these machines offer exceptional build quality and advanced functionality, helping crews lift and position glass panels, windows, façade elements, and other non-porous materials with ease.
Ideal for high-rise glazing, commercial fit-outs, and curtain wall installations, Winlet glass handling lifts feature proportional controls, telescopic booms, and multi-axis movement—ensuring precise placement while reducing manual handling. Their compact footprint allows easy access through standard doorways, tight indoor areas, and congested work zones, making them especially valuable for urban construction sites.
Spider Lifts: The Compact EWP Built for Construction Access Challenges
Monitor’s range of spider lifts offers unmatched versatility for construction sites that demand reliable height access in tight or uneven environments. We supply leading global brands including Platform Basket, CMC Lift, Leguan Lifts, Omme Lift and BG Lift — with models ranging from 12 to 54 metres in working height.
Whether you’re working on internal fitouts, high-rise access, or sloped and sensitive terrain, spider lifts are a smart alternative to larger, less manoeuvrable machines. Their narrow design allows access through doorways, scaffolding gaps, and side alleys, making them ideal for residential builds, commercial refurbishments, and urban developments.
Spider lifts can be easily transported behind a ute (3.5T GVM), reducing the need for tilt trays or heavy vehicles. Once on site, their ability to self-level on slopes or rough terrain allows safe operation where conventional EWPs can’t go. Hybrid and electric models also provide emission-free operation for indoor or low-noise work zones.
Truck-Mounted Lifts: Fast, Flexible Height Access for Construction Projects
Truck-mounted elevated work platforms (EWPs) are an ideal solution for construction teams needing rapid, reliable access at height — without the delays of additional transport or complex setup. Whether you’re working on multi-storey builds, installing façade panels, fitting external lighting, or completing high-access inspections, these lifts provide the reach and mobility to get the job done efficiently.
With working heights from 13 to 27 metres and built-in stabilisers for fast deployment, Monitor’s truck-mounted EWPs are designed for speed, safety and performance. They’re especially well-suited to large commercial sites, linear construction projects, or situations where the machine needs to move frequently between access points.
Our GSR Aerial Platform fleet includes models equipped with advanced safety systems, proportional controls, and robust boom construction — giving operators the confidence to work efficiently at height in demanding conditions. For construction sites where time is money and access needs to be quick, dependable, and mobile, truck-mounted EWPs offer a practical, high-performance solution.
Rail Boom Lifts: for Construction in Rail Corridors and Station Precincts
Rail boom lifts provide safe, efficient elevated access for construction teams working in and around active rail corridors. Purpose-built for dual-mode operation (rail and road), these specialised machines are ideal for civil construction, structural installations, overhead gantry work, and infrastructure upgrades along the rail network.
With impressive outreach, precise proportional controls, and fast transition between road and track, rail boom lifts allow construction crews to work safely at height without major disruption to rail services. They’re especially valuable during planned shutdowns or time-critical upgrades in station precincts and corridor developments.
Monitor’s rail-capable access machines are engineered to meet strict safety and clearance standards, giving construction companies the confidence to tackle complex rail-adjacent works across Australia.
Tracked Vacuum Excavators - Non-Destructive Digging
In the construction industry, avoiding costly damage to underground infrastructure is critical during excavation. Vacuum excavation machines provide a safe, non-destructive solution for service locating, potholing, and trenching on building sites and civil projects. Using high-pressure air or water to break up soil, these units allow for precise excavation while minimising the risk of striking buried utilities such as gas, water, power, or comms lines.
Monitor offers a range of vacuum excavation units, including compact trailer-mounted models for tight access areas and high-capacity truck-mounted systems ideal for large-scale civil works. Built for performance, safety, and compliance, our vac units are trusted by contractors who need reliable, efficient, and low-impact digging solutions.
With nationwide support, industry expertise, and equipment designed for Australian conditions, Monitor is your go-to partner for vacuum excavation in construction and infrastructure projects.
