Plant compliance solutions for councils and government-owned enterprises

Partnering with Public Works

Local councils and municipal authorities manage extensive and varied fleets of plant and equipment. Operating in public spaces, streetscapes, and community facilities, this equipment carries high public liability risk.

Cranes Australia acts as the trusted independent inspection partner for local governments across the country. From certifying the EWPs used by parks and gardens teams, to auditing workshop hoists and vehicle loading cranes at the central depot, we provide complete, transparent compliance solutions. We are experienced in navigating council procurement panels and delivering best-value engineering services.
