Celebrating Our Grand Prix Effort

We’ve partnered with Coates, Australia's leading equipment hire and solutions provider, to deliver essential logistics support for one of Melbourne’s most anticipated events: the Formula 1® Qatar Airways Australian Grand Prix 2026 at Albert Park Circuit this weekend.

As the opening round of the 2026 Formula 1® season, the Grand Prix attracts the world’s best drivers, elite teams, and hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic spectators to the city over the March long weekend. Behind the high-speed action on track, a complex operation keeps everything running smoothly—and we’re proud to provide key logistics solutions that help make the event a success.

What we delivered:
  • Transported approximately 248 buildings via 4-tonne, 6-tonne and 10-tonne tilt trays
  • Deployed around 160 trucks to deliver approximately 240 machines, primarily light towers and generators

These assets are providing temporary lighting, power and infrastructure for one of the busiest and most exciting weekends on the Melbourne calendar.

Our established partnership with Coates allows us to execute large-scale projects like this with reliability and precision. We’ll continue supporting the event through the bump-out phase once racing concludes—final figures are still being confirmed, but we’re ready for another significant effort delivered with the same professionalism.

Thank you to the entire team for their outstanding work in bringing this project to life!
