Founded by father and son duo Dean and Logan Piggott in 2021, Wyndham Steel Solutions helping clients design and construct their dream homes and buildings.
They put their considerable experience in the steel and construction industries to work for the family business, with Dean’s younger son joined their side in 2023, bringing a background in Insurance Building, focusing on compliance and business management.
Starting out of a small factory in Melbourne, the business provided a personal touch for their early clients, from hand-drawn blueprints and hand-painted finishes on the steel to fabricating everything from the factory. The duo focused on installing one residential project weekly while building up their client lists.
Four years on, and they’re still keen to keep all services in-house: from drawings executed on AutoCAD and Tekla programs to fabricating steel products and working a painting station to streamline the production process. The in-house team also completes all structural steel project installations.
“Keeping everything in-house has allowed our business to grow our capacity, allowing us to install roughly two jobs a day, keeping a constant flow of work on our books,” said General Manager Noah Piggott.
“We have recently ventured into the brick steel lintel market and offer services for delivery and lifting of all lintels required for construction projects, with all projects installed with our Isuzu crane trucks.”
“We are currently about to break ground with a new purpose-built factory, warehouse and office space. This will be our biggest in-house project to date, and we are excited to see the build come to life.
“This new space will be approximately three times the size of what we have now, so between the new factory and our new Isuzu, our capacity for jobs is set to triple in size.”
The business relies on a fleet of Isuzu crane trucks to carry the weight of every project, with the small but dedicated team transforming how homes and commercial buildings rise from the ground up.
Wyndham Steel Solutions’ new crane truck is an Isuzu FRR 110-240 AMT with a long wheelbase and a F.lli Ferrari crane installed onto the custom tray built by LVTC Transport Equipment, which joins two other Isuzus – a FVL 240-300 Auto crane truck and a classic NPR 300.
The new FRR 110-240 is underpinned by an Isuzu 4HK1-TCH 16-valve engine, which provides f 177 kW (240 PS) at 2400 rpm and 765 Nm of torque at 1600 rpm.
With a generous GVM of 11,000 kg, the FRR 110-240 AMT has ample payload for both the crane and the required load of steel. This is supported by a long wheelbase of 4.99 metres, which provides plenty of room to move their products.
Graphic designer Rickie Arnott created the stylish look for the FRR with the wrap installed by locals Brand FX.
’We selected the FRR 110-240 because of its ability to carry structural beams and brick steel lintels, its manoeuvrability no matter the job site, and because it’s economically friendly with its fuel consumption,” said Noah.
“The F.lli Ferrari crane was hand-picked due to the length we required at full capacity, and for length-to-weight ratio, we found the FRR is the perfect match to get the crane on site.
“We can then use the crane to lift steel lintels off the truck and stabilise the weight of T-Bars, which are lifted into place over structures such as garages.”
With clients ranging from small builders, high end architectural firms and Tier 1 high-volume builders, Wyndham Steel Solutions is tackling everything from residential and commercial steel packages to complex architectural installations. They’re taking steel design, fabrication, installation – and their trucks – further than ever before.
“At Wyndham Steel Solutions, we pride ourselves on impeccable service and product quality, ensuring that all project deadlines are met to the highest of standards,” explained Noah.
As an outfit that relies heavily on its fleet to deliver a full-package service, Wyndham Steel Solutions is looking to its transport partner to provide infallible backup support as the business expands and trucks that will last the distance under heavy duties.
The FRR 110-240’s six-year standard warranty (or 300,000 km) and six years of roadside assistance, which is available 24/7, are helpful in this regard.
“Geelong Isuzu, particularly our Sales Manager Rob Fitzgerald and Dealer Principal Phil Halleday have been fantastic to deal with,” said Noah.
“Because our business relies heavily on our Isuzu fleet, the support from a dealership that is willing to go the extra mile is vital.
“We have thoroughly enjoyed going back and buying three Isuzu trucks through the dealership.”
