Hire a Crane in Cessnock

We serve a wide range of locations, including Port Stephens, Nelson Bay, Medowie, Raymond Terrace, Maitland, Cessnock, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley.

Signs of overloading a crane include unusual noises, excessive swaying, a tilting or tipping crane, bending or deforming of the boom, slow or strained lifting and difficulty controlling the load. Load limit alarms may also activate. Ignoring these signs can lead to equipment failure or accidents.

Cranes are secured against unauthorised use by locking the operator’s cab, removing keys or access cards, disabling power sources and installing security cameras. Additional measures include using password-protected control systems, barriers or fencing around the crane, and site surveillance to prevent unauthorised access or tampering.

In a crane failure emergency, operators will stop all operations immediately, secure the load if possible and alert site personnel. They will evacuate the area to avoid injuries from potential collapse or falling loads. Emergency services or technical support can be contacted for inspection, repair and safe removal of the crane.
