Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I consider when booking crane hire in Katherine?

    When hiring a crane in Katherine, it's important to consider site access, load type, ground conditions, and any permit requirements. In regional areas, mobilisation time and travel logistics also play a role, so early booking is essential. Franna cranes are often ideal for Katherine’s terrain due to their mobility and setup efficiency. Always ensure the provider includes licensed operators and proper planning for site safety and compliance.

  • How does rigging support improve safety on job sites?

    Rigging is critical to ensuring that loads are lifted safely and securely. Licensed riggers assess the load, select the appropriate lifting gear and control the movement during the lift. This helps prevent imbalance, swinging or equipment failure – especially on uneven or remote worksites like those around Katherine. Rigging support is essential for complying with WHS standards and keeping all crew and equipment safe throughout the operation.

  • Is special planning needed for heavy transport in regional NT?

    Yes – heavy transport in regional NT areas like Katherine requires detailed route planning, permit approvals, and sometimes escort vehicles. Factors like road conditions, load size, bridge capacity and weather can all affect scheduling. Transport companies experienced in the Territory will manage these challenges to ensure safe delivery. Coordinating transport with crane and rigging services also helps streamline the job and minimise downtime on site.
