Our History

A Legacy Built Over Generations

Our history dates back to 1974, when the foundations of a proud family legacy in the lifting industry were first established. Across three generations, cranes have remained central to the Bucciarelli family’s working life, with each generation contributing experience, knowledge, and a strong commitment to excellence. In 1983, the family purchased its first crane from John’s Engineering & Cranes, marking the beginning of its formal business journey within the industry. Building on this foundation, Tony Bucciarelli expanded the family vision in 1989 through the acquisition of his own first crane, reinforcing a long-term commitment to growth and operational capability. In 2011, GCSWA was established, ushering the business into a new era defined by innovation, capability, and sustainable growth. While each generation has approached business with different strategies and perspectives, all have shared the same determination to succeed, creating a strong legacy built on hard work, resilience, and enduring family values.

Growth Through Vision and Evolution

The evolution of the business reflects the strength and adaptability of each generation. The first generation laid the groundwork through dedication, perseverance, and a hands-on approach to the industry. Their efforts established the reputation and values that continue to guide the business today. The second generation focused on strategic expansion, steadily investing in additional assets, growing the fleet, and building a highly capable team. This period of measured growth strengthened operational capacity while reinforcing long-term relationships with clients and industry partners. The third generation has continued to modernise and evolve the business to meet the demands of a changing industry. By embracing innovation, operational excellence, and forward-thinking solutions, GCSWA continues to build on its legacy while remaining firmly grounded in the values that have defined the business for decades.
