Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you service?

We serve a wide range of locations, including Port Stephens, Nelson Bay, Medowie, Raymond Terrace, Maitland, Cessnock, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley.
How do crane operators communicate on large sites?

Crane operators communicate on large sites using hand signals, two-way radios and sometimes visual aids like cameras. A designated signal person often relays instructions to ensure clear and safe communication, helping coordinate movements, avoid hazards and ensure smooth operation between operators and ground personnel.
How do you calculate a crane's lifting capacity?

A crane's lifting capacity is calculated using its load chart, which factors in boom length, angle, radius, counterweight and configuration. Operators must determine the crane’s position relative to the load and assess these variables to ensure they stay within safe load limits, preventing overload and ensuring stability.
What are the different types of crane hooks?

Crane hooks come in various types, including single hooks, double hooks and Ramshorn hooks. Single hooks are for lighter loads, double hooks handle heavier loads and Ramshorn hooks are used for very large loads. Some hooks also have safety latches to prevent the load from slipping during lifting operations.
