If your project requires truck crane hire, the last thing you need is a legal mess because an on-site accident exposed gaps in your provider’s certification. Working with cranes is inherently dangerous. Therefore, if you’ve got some lifting to do, you want to be sure that it’s done safely and in full compliance with the law.
Certification and registration are essential safeguards that protect your people and your property. They also help ensure that your project timeline remains uncompromised.
At Top Gun Cranes, we operate with full SafeWork, CraneSafe and Transport for NSW (TfNSW) approvals, which will put your mind at ease before a lift even begins. Let’s take a look at each of these and what they mean.
SafeWork
SafeWork NSW is the government authority that is responsible for ensuring workplace safety across high-risk industries. Because our crane hire company is registered with SafeWork, it means that our operations comply with current safety legislation and that our team has the proper qualifications to do the job.
It also means that our processes meet the legal standards required on Australian worksites. This makes incident reporting and accountability clear, which is critical for large-scale or high-risk lifts.
CraneSafe
CraneSafe is an independent program that verifies the mechanical safety of cranes through annual inspections carried out by accredited assessors.
A crane with a current CraneSafe certificate has passed a comprehensive technical assessment that looks at everything from brakes and hydraulics to load indicators and slew mechanisms. This certification serves as proof that the crane is safe to operate, thereby ensuring that the equipment won’t fail on the job.
TfNSW
In NSW, the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) agency used to ensure that all heavy vehicles, including mobile cranes, met strict registration and roadworthiness standards. These functions were all transferred to TfNSW in 2019.
When a crane is TfNSW-registered, it means that you can be confident that it complies with all the laws surrounding things like weight restrictions, emissions rules and public safety laws. This is especially important when you’re dealing with truck-mounted cranes that need to travel between job sites without causing delays or attracting fines.
Certification Helps Mitigate Risk
Because Top Gun Cranes is registered with and certified by all three bodies mentioned above, you can rest assured of our safety record and professionalism. It proves our commitment to reliability and legal compliance at every level of every job.
