Construction Industry

Crane compliance for builders — from residential to mega-projects

Building with Confidence

Whether constructing high-density residential apartments, commercial warehouses, or civil infrastructure, builders carry significant WHS liability for the plant operating on their sites. Unverified lifting equipment is one of the highest risk factors in the construction sector.

Cranes Australia provides rapid, reliable independent inspections for the general construction industry. We work with volume builders, mid-tier contractors, and smaller crane fleets to ensure every piece of lifting equipment—from a franna to a multi-leg sling—meets Australian Standards and state regulations before the lift begins.

Key Compliance Challenges

The realities of managing lifting operations on fast-paced build sites.

Variable Site Conditions

Residential and small commercial sites often lack the controlled environments of major projects, creating dynamic lifting risks.

Subcontractor Compliance

Verifying that every crane hire company bringing equipment to site holds current, valid certification.

Rapid Mobilisation

Fast-paced build schedules mean plant needs to be inspected and approved quickly without holding up the concrete pour.
