A north Queensland business is reeling after youths heavily vandalised a $2.4 million (US$1.68 million) crane while bragging about it on social media.

Business managers say an excavator worth $500,000 was also damaged in the attack on the weekend, which comes amid a tide of violent criminal incidents involving juveniles in the state.
