How we got John Holland a 40% production boost at Penrith Stadium 🏗️
When John Holland integrated the Vita Load Navigator (VLN) into their crane operations at the Penrith Stadium Redevelopment, they didn’t just meet their targets—they significantly exceeded them. 40% Increase in Production
By swapping traditional tagline methods for the precision of the VLN, the team transformed a forecast of 8 lifts per day into a consistent 11 to 13 lifts on a single crane.
"With the introduction of the VLN the plats were literally flying in." — Ray Congerton, Senior Site Manager, John Holland
In an environment where every minute on a hook costs money, the VLN delivers the certainty required for major Australian infrastructure:
• ✅ Precision Control: High-wind stability.
• ✅ Personnel Safety: Hands-off load management.
• ✅ Schedule Certainty: Keeping the project on track.
Erne Lifting is proud to be on-site with John Holland, proving that the future of the industry isn't just about bigger machines—it’s about smarter control.
The redevelopment of Penrith Stadium is proudly funded by the NSW Government.
