Frequently Asked Questions

  • What permits are required for crane work near national parks?

    Crane work near or within national park boundaries, such as those around Jabiru, may require specific permits from local, state or federal authorities. These permits ensure environmental protection, site access control, and compliance with heritage regulations. In addition to standard road permits and lifting approvals, operators may need to coordinate with park management and meet strict timing or noise restrictions. It’s important to plan ahead and engage contractors familiar with working in protected or regulated areas.

  • Can crane hire include mobilisation to remote areas?

    Yes – many crane hire providers offer mobilisation services for remote projects, especially in regions like Jabiru. This includes transporting the crane and crew to the job site, with all logistics such as permits, route planning and fuel stops accounted for. Franna cranes are commonly used due to their mobility and suitability for rough terrain. Mobilisation is usually charged separately and depends on distance, load size and access conditions, so early planning is key.

  • How do you ensure safe rigging in remote environments?

    Safe rigging in remote locations involves thorough preparation, licensed personnel and certified equipment. Teams must assess site conditions, weather, ground stability and load specifications before lifting begins. All rigging gear – slings, shackles, chains and spreaders – must be inspected and suited to the job. Communication between riggers and crane operators is critical, especially on sites with limited infrastructure. In areas like Jabiru, additional safety planning may be required due to isolation and restricted emergency access.
