West-Trans are national leaders and a byword for quality in the Australian skip loader and hook lift market.
Our equipment is renowned for its toughness, simple engineering and compact design. You can rely on West-Trans Equipment to stand the test of time. Heavy machinery construction is second nature to us, and evident in our products.
We are a 3rd generation family business that grew from humble beginnings in 1988, when we were an engineering shop employing 10 people on the north-western outskirts of Sydney.
In 1994, the business was bought by Jim Whittle and his father. This handover marked the start of the transformation of West-Trans Equipment into the front-running manufacturing business we are today. Since 2009, we have been Australia’s exclusive importer of HMF vehicle loading cranes.
West-Trans Equipment now operates five locations across Australia. Thanks to our network of national sales and service partners, we support customers in every state and territory. We are great listeners, and promptly acting on customer feedback has been vital to our success. At West-Trans Equipment, every element of our products and service is designed with customer satisfaction in mind.

Supporting Customers Beyond the Sale in Weipa
When a customer in Weipa purchased a dog trailer and hooklift, West-Trans Sales Representative Mark didn’t treat delivery as the end of the job.
After helping the customer through the sales process, Mark made the trip to Weipa to personally support the handover and provide practical training on the new equipment.
For us, that level of support matters. West-Trans doesn’t simply supply equipment and move on. We work with our customers throughout the life of the product, from selecting the right equipment and commissioning it correctly through to training, servicing, parts and ongoing support.
For operators working in regional and remote areas, having a supplier that stands behind the equipment can be just as important as the equipment itself.
This Weipa delivery is a good example of what we mean by lifecycle support: the right product, a proper handover and a team that remains there when the equipment goes to work.
