Engineering, certification, and statutory inspections for Australia's Tier-1 construction, Defence, and government fleets. AS1418 & AS2550 compliant.
What to expect
Clear technical scope before you commit
Start with the service that matches your requirement. The team can then confirm the right inspection or testing scope from the equipment details you provide.
Scope matched to the equipment
Inspection and testing pathways are selected around the crane, lifting equipment and operating context described in the enquiry.
Documentation-led outcomes
The site explains the inspection, testing, certification and reporting pathways available for compliance decisions.
Australia-wide service coverage
Service and location pages connect national coverage with the relevant state, industry and equipment context.
Accreditation, personnel and project claims should be confirmed with Cranes Australia before being used as procurement evidence.
Independent crane safety advice when the stakes are highest.
Featured by ABC News
Cranes Australia director Samuel Ho provided an independent safety perspective after a serious glass-panel lifting incident near Albury. Our analysis explains why transport tie-downs must never be treated as lifting slings, and why every suspended load needs verified equipment, engineered planning and a controlled exclusion zone.
