5 Safety Checks Before Every Lift ✅

A safe lift starts with the right inspections and maintenance before the crane is even in operation.

Before any lift begins, our team focuses on five critical checks:

🚧 Pre-operational inspection – Has a competent person checked the crane and recorded its condition before use?
🚧 Crane functions & controls – Are all movements operating smoothly, within limits, and as intended?
🚧 Safety systems – Are emergency stops, limiters, and safety devices functioning correctly?
🚧 Structural components – Have key parts like ropes, brakes, pins, and load-bearing elements been inspected for wear or damage?
🚧 Fluids, lubrication & maintenance – Are moving parts properly lubricated, with no leaks or faults identified?

At Active Crane Hire, these checks form part of a consistent inspection and maintenance program. Because reliability and safety go hand in hand.

Active Crane Hire has levelled up: not one, not two, not three, but FOUR massive 20‑ton topless hammerhead cranes are now standing tall in Zetland, Sydney.

All of these cranes were erected in one day shift only, with two of them soaring at a freestanding height of 70 metres!

A milestone for our company, and a great introduction to the larger crane market.

Well done Team Active 💛

Engineered in Australia. Built for Australian jobsites.

The HLD automatic crane deck series allows loading decks to be extended and retracted FULLY LOADED, which is not allowed on manually operated decks.

This is the real game-changer and main driver for productivity and safety, with the hydraulic push-button retraction system reducing manual handling and labour time, allowing loads to be pulled in smoothly and effortlessly. 💪👷

Powered by a standard 240‑volt supply, it’s a simple upgrade with a big impact on your productivity.

This is the upgrade you didn't know you needed for your jobsite, until now!

Enquire today to see how our crane decks can improve efficiency, safety, and workflow on your site.

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.
