Tick what you've got

How this works: Tick every document you can actually put your hands on. We score how complete your pack is and list the gaps — the documents buyers, auditors and site managers most often ask for — with why each one matters. It is a self-check, not a formal compliance audit.

Identity & registration: Design registration
Many crane types must have a registered design under WHS plant rules — buyers and auditors will ask for the design registration number.
Identity & registration: Plant (item) registration where required
Tower cranes, mobile cranes over certain capacities and others need item registration in most states. Missing rego can stop a machine from working.
Identity & registration: Compliance / data plate details
The data plate ties the machine to its make, model, serial and rated capacity — the anchor for all other paperwork.
Inspection history: Annual inspection reports
A continuous run of annual inspection reports shows the crane has been kept compliant year to year under AS 2550.
Inspection history: Major (10-year) inspection report
The major inspection report proves the strip-down was done and lists any findings and repairs — critical for older machines.
Inspection history: Load test certificates
Load test certs confirm the crane was proof-tested at rated capacity, typically after major repairs, at intervals or before sale.
Operations: Logbook / service log
The logbook tracks hours, daily checks and defects — the everyday evidence the crane is being run and maintained properly.
Operations: Maintenance & repair records
Service history shows what has been done, when and by whom — a big driver of resale value and buyer confidence.
Operations: Operator & maintenance manuals
Manuals and the load chart are needed for safe operation and for planning inspections and services correctly.
People: Operator high-risk work licences
Operators need the right HRW licence class (e.g. CN, C2/C6/C1/C0, CV, CT) plus dogging/rigging tickets where relevant.
People: Verification of competency (VOC) records
A VOC shows the operator has been assessed as competent on this specific machine — commonly required on site.
