At Green Grid Connect (GGC), we’re always on the lookout for practical ways to improve how projects are delivered on site. The latest addition to our plant fleet, a specialised straddle carrier named ‘Lee Leigh’, is a great example of that in action.
Proposed and named after two innovative GGC team members, the ‘Lee Leigh’ allows us to unload and position BESS and Power Conversion System (PCS) units with significantly reduced reliance on cranes. This is important because it directly addresses one of the highest risk activities on site. By reducing lifting at height, we’re improving safety outcomes while also increasing the efficiency of deliveries and installation.
Safer faster unloading and placement of equipment genuinely helps reduce time on site and overall project costs for our clients.
We recently deployed ‘Lee Leigh’ at a BESS project in South Australia, where it was quickly onboarded and is now being operated by our trained crews as part of our self-perform delivery model.

By continuing to invest in innovative plant and our self-perform capability, we are focused on reducing risk and improving outcomes across complex energy infrastructure projects.
Such a simple idea with a meaningful impact. Safer delivery, improved efficiency and better outcomes for the projects we’re part of.
As part of GGC’s collaborative approach to project delivery, the ‘Lee Leigh’ capability is now also available to other BESS contractors looking for safer, more efficient ways to manage heavy equipment on site. If you are planning a BESS project and would like to explore how ‘Lee Leigh’ could support your project, please get in touch with our team.
