Company's main principle is slow motion work. As much as slow, that much more money they charge.

I made a big mistake and they did one job for me. Driver was not professional, the company not responsive. for normal people's 1 hour job for him at least 3 hours. I didn't see this type people who is playing the time, when he is working before.After he load the truck he spent 1 hour around the truck. If you don't have any choice and you have more money to spend, you can work this company. Before working this company be sure there no other choice. I can describe their job for me, like professional robbery. If you decided to work with them prepare at least 2 or 3 more staff for help them otherwise

I have had a bad experience with this company. I had a job at Mount Gravatt, so I searched closest companies. Then Surf City Crane came out, I called and booked a truck for the following day. I was thinking the truck was coming from Belmont. After job done I shocked when I saw the invoice. The company has 2 branches, main branch is in Gold Coast, the other one is like fake branch which doesn't have sign or office. Just there are some small vehicle and machines and broken machines. The worse thing you are expecting the truck from the closest branch. Even the truck's coming time and arriving
