On many urban sites, especially around the Gold Coast and Brisbane, night work is required due to logistical or regulatory demands. This is often the case in shopping centres, public buildings, or other areas with strict noise controls.
These environments call for access machinery that’s efficient, quiet, and maneuverable.
A recent example was a project at Pacific Fair (Gold Coast), where the hybrid boom lift Z60 FE operated overnight without generating complaints or delays. The roofing crew completed their task smoothly with full reach and stability.
Why this matters for urban contractors and maintenance teams
