Frequently Asked Questions
What challenges come with crane hire in remote locations?
Crane hire in remote areas like McArthur River often involves additional planning and logistics. Transporting cranes over long distances can require escort vehicles, route permits and careful scheduling to avoid delays. Access to the site itself may be restricted by weather, road conditions or terrain, so mobile cranes like Frannas are commonly used for their flexibility. On-site safety planning, crew coordination and equipment reliability become even more important when working in areas without immediate backup or infrastructure.
Is specialised lifting equipment required for mining sites?
Yes – mining sites often involve heavy, oversized or awkward loads that require specialised lifting solutions. Equipment like spreader bars, lifting beams, high-capacity chains, and certified rigging gear are commonly used. Site-specific safety requirements may also demand particular gear that complies with mining regulations and risk assessments. Depending on the job, both crane hire and rigging teams may need to coordinate with site supervisors to ensure lifting plans meet compliance and operational expectations.
How does heavy transport work in remote regions?
Heavy transport in remote areas requires detailed pre-planning and risk management. Operators must assess road quality, weather conditions, permit requirements and fuel availability. Oversized loads often need pilot vehicles and can only travel at approved times or routes. In places like McArthur River, access may be limited to certain windows due to mine schedules or environmental conditions. Experienced providers will coordinate transport with lifting crews to ensure everything arrives on time, is secured properly, and complies with both state and mining regulations.
