Safety starts with knowing exactly what you’re getting and who you’re hiring it from. 🏗️
There are three main kinds of tower cranes: Luffing, Hammerhead (including topless), and Self-erecting. Whichever you hire, you need to ensure the crane is:
👉 erected
👉 operated
👉 maintained
👉 dismantled
According to the designer’s or manufacturer’s instructions.
Before operating a crane on your job site, you must also ensure you:
👉 Have ample insurance coverage
👉 Ensure you have Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and that employees abide by these rules
Your chosen crane operator must:
👉 Abide by all Acts and Codes
👉 Have correct and current certificates
👉 Have a vetted crew
👉 Complete a proper induction every time
Most of all, you want to ensure you are using high-quality, well-maintained equipment, have qualified competent people to carry out the job, and are protected by insurance in case of unforeseen circumstances.
That’s why choosing a safety‑driven partner matters.
