Which state / territory?

Do you know the line voltage?

Can the crane and load stay entirely outside the widest approach zone at all times?

Yes

Is a trained spotter / safety observer available?

Yes

Have you contacted the network operator?

Yes

How this works: powerline approach distances differ by state and by voltage, so this tool asks guiding questions rather than quoting limits. The ranges below are indicative only. Always confirm the actual distances and any permit or spotter requirements with your state regulator and the network operator.

General guidance only. This tool gives indicative results from the numbers you enter. It is not engineering advice, a compliance assessment or a substitute for a competent person, AS 2550 requirements or your crane manufacturer's documentation. Verify anything safety-critical with a qualified professional before acting on it.
