Keeping your crane compliant, safe, and ready for work doesn’t need to be complicated or costly. At MCT Equipment, we provide CraneSafe Inspections as part of your crane’s annual compliance—helping you meet Australian Standards while also reducing the cost and complexity of your future Major Inspection.
CraneSafe is an industry-backed program created by The Crane Industry Council of Australia (CICA). It provides a standardised, independent assessment of your crane’s condition each year. For owners, it means confidence; for regulators and contractors, it’s a trusted symbol of safety.
And when your CraneSafe inspections are completed consistently and properly documented, they can significantly reduce the workload—and therefore the cost—of your 10-year Major Inspection.
What is CraneSafe?
CraneSafe is a nationally recognised crane assessment and compliance program that provides:
- Independent, expert-led safety assessments
- A standardised, industry-wide inspection process
- Support for meeting OH&S and Australian Standards requirements
- A Green Sticker, providing an instantly recognised sign of safety and compliance
- NATA accreditation, making it the only accredited crane inspection program in Australia
Under AS1418 & AS2550, every crane must have an annual independent inspection—and CraneSafe meets this requirement.
How MCT Equipment helps
At MCT Equipment, we handle the entire process for you.
We organise your annual CraneSafe Inspection using qualified, endorsed assessors. Your crane is assessed for key safety, structural, and operational elements, and the findings are documented clearly against your machine’s history.
You simply get:
- A compliant, up-to-date CraneSafe inspection
- A Green Sticker confirming your crane is assessed and safe
- Records that help streamline your future Major Inspection
This means less downtime, fewer surprises, and a more predictable maintenance schedule.
How CraneSafe helps reduce Major Inspection costs
A Major Inspection requires evidence of your crane’s condition over its lifetime. When CraneSafe assessments are completed annually and documented properly:
- Clear maintenance history reduces investigative work:
Assessors for your Major Inspection don’t need to spend time (and billable hours) establishing baseline condition or tracing past faults—your CraneSafe documentation already records key inspection points year by year.
- Early detection prevents expensive repairs later:
CraneSafe picks up issues early, allowing repairs to be done at the right time—not all at once during the costly 10-year inspection.
- Proven compliance reduces risk factors:
Consistent annual records demonstrate responsible maintenance. This often means fewer strip-down requirements and less invasive testing during the Major Inspection.
- Condition monitoring supports usage-based maintenance:
As the industry moves away from purely time-based inspections, good operational data and consistent third-party assessments become more valuable.
In short:
Annual CraneSafe inspections help your crane stay compliant and reduce the time, cost, and effort of your Major Inspection when it comes around.
