About Us
Walkabout Services is a specialised crane and transport service contractor with a pre-eminent industry reputation for our modern fleet, performance, quality and reliability.
Walkabout Services
The company’s origins actually date back to 1994 when founder and current owner Mick Lear initiated a specialised transport & installation business to meet a specific industry. 10 years later this business was sold, however, the requirement for this type of service for the broader industry was prevalent and this was the start of Walkabout Services.
Today Walkabout Services is still leading the way with new levels of service and performance in the industry. Although we are more a boutique/specialised transport & service provider we have a very versatile fleet of equipment with revenues exceeding $18mil alone, with a dynamic team of highly skilled staff to support our growing business.
