The replacement crane for the Kununurra Diversion Dam Wall was successfully design, manufactured and installed by Vector Lifting.

The crane, which straddles the Victoria Highway as it passes over the Diversion Dam Wall, was assembled in our laydown yard in Kununurra, then transported complete during the scheduled road closure.

Prior to installing the new crane, the original crane was transported off the dam wall by Vector Lifting and installed at the Swim Beach Park off Millington Drive as a monument.

Vector Lifting provided the complete turn-key supply of a locomotive turntable for an Aurizon Rail Depot. The bespoke turntable was designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned by Vector Lifting, with work scope including civil design and installation.

Vector Lifting provided bespoke ore wagon jacks to BHP to support a fleet wide upgrade. The jacks were developed to provide simultaneous support and hoisting of the wagon body and bogies, providing the most efficient means of bogie exchange.

Key project goals achieved were:

• Single column manipulation of wagon body and bogie
• Inherent lift safety and guaranteed load support for under carriage access
• Custom Control System design with multi-level user access and control login
• Bespoke electrical power and control system manufacture to suit project and client requirements.
