Platinum requires sterling results

Platinum Commercial Glass and Aluminum are leaders in glazing installation, including suspended glass, aluminum windows, doors, curtain walls and skylights. There is no job to tough for the Queensland based team and flexibility is the key to their success.

When Platinum was faced with a tight workspace and a requirement for steady movements, they turned to Preston’s reliable and cost effective Superminicrawler hire cranes for stability and piece of mind.

Handling expensive and potentially lethal sheets of glass is a delicate operation at the best of times, however given the challenge of doing so in confined space required Platinum to source the best in mini crane technology and experience.

Preston’s selection of Superminicrawler technology provided Platinum with a combination of MC-285 and MC-405 models to work underneath the awnings of an existing building in a narrow access laneway and to access the interior of the building to install commercial glass in various locations.

Robert Dyett, Director of Platinum says, “Preston saved us money with their dry hire option as well as offering a great service to ensure the job was done on time and under budget”. Robert continues to say “we have dealt with Preston for a number of years, they go out of their way to provide great service and competitive rates, we are more than happy”.

The project was completed to the client’s satisfaction and construction impacts were minimized as a result of Platinum’s use of the Preston Superminicrawler cranes.

Let Preston provide super solutions for your next project, the cost savings and safety benefits are just the beginning of “hire performance”.
