Iron Capital’s mission is to help our customers get the iron in the dirt.

With more than 50 years in the earthmoving and mining industries, specializing in mobile plant and equipment, we understand every construction project is different and every customer has unique needs.

We know how to tailor equipment requirements for companies of all sizes so they can get on with the business of delivering projects.

We are proud to work with many equipment dealers around the globe. Our customers build the important highways, freeways and infrastructure projects across Australia that help keep their countries moving.

The Iron Capital name is new to many, most likely because we’ve been quietly delivering for our customers behind-the-scenes.

This has been a deliberate approach – we know our role of being an enabler for our customers and prefer to let their work and outcomes get the attention it deserves.
