Crane Inspections

Statutory crane inspections by chartered engineers — all types, all states, no project delays.

Uptime meets Compliance

Cranes are the heartbeat of any major project. When they stop, the site stops. Our statutory inspection programs are designed to keep your fleet moving while ensuring absolute compliance with SafeWork regulations and Australian Standards.

Led by chartered engineers, our inspection teams cover every crane variant—tower, mobile, overhead, and vehicle loading cranes. We don't just tick boxes; we provide actionable insights, predictive maintenance forecasting, and legally robust certification that protects both your personnel and your business.

Why It Matters

The critical risks of non-compliant crane operations.

Site Shutdowns

SafeWork inspectors can and will shut down sites instantly if crane compliance documentation is missing or out of date.

Insurance Voidance

Structural Fatigue

Undetected wear in slew rings, wire ropes, or load-bearing pins leads directly to dropped loads and fatal incidents.
