Safety
Safe, straightforward planning guides our approach to every lift. Before work begins, we consider the load, access, surroundings, lift path and relevant site requirements.
Our crane crews coordinate with clients so the equipment, people and controls can be matched to the task and site conditions.
Lift Planning & Compliance
Before work begins, we prepare site-specific Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) where required and provide relevant job documentation. This helps the crew and client align on site conditions, controls and the planned approach.
For more complex lifts, engineered lift studies combine practical rigging experience with engineering input to create a clear lifting plan.
Domestic
We provide crane hire for domestic construction, air-conditioning installation and replacement, prefabricated structures, tiny homes and backyard studios.
We can also assist with suitable lifting work involving fallen trees, outdoor features and art installations.
