Crane Hire Noosa

Of course. We are happy to provide a free site inspection and then recommend the optimal crane for your specific needs. 

We find that our all-terrain cranes are particularly popular in Noosa at the moment. Clients like the versatility of an all-terrain crane, as well as its ability to work safely on uneven or soft terrain. One of the big advantages of an all-terrain crane is that it can be driven directly to a site without the need for a trailer. For a project that spans multiple sites, an all-terrain crane works really well. 

Companies completing building maintenance, decorating, or work at height are always eager to hire from our selection of boom and scissor lifts. These vary in size from compact pieces of equipment that can be used in difficult-to-access areas, to scissor lifts that can safely elevate a team of workers and their equipment. 

At D & S Crane Hire & Rigging, our cranes are also in great demand. Ideal for lifting heavy or awkwardly shaped items, these cranes are extremely versatile and a popular choice with farmers, construction businesses, haulage companies and warehouse enterprises.

In the wrong hands, a crane can be very dangerous. Working at height is always hazardous, and crane work is further complicated by the need to assess whether a load can be safely moved using the available equipment. Crane handlers need to operate the machinery with precision, as well as have a good understanding of safety in the workplace and what to do should a load become unbalanced, stuck or otherwise compromised.

For all the above reasons, crane operators in Noosa and the surrounding area require a High-Risk Work (HRW) license before they can legally operate a crane. Although crane operators aren't required to take a driving test in the same way as truck drivers, for example, they do need an HRW license before they can operate a crane here. Before a potential crane operator can apply for an HRW license, they need to complete a suitable training course, delivered by a recognised training organisation. 

There are a number of different elements to an HRW license, covering different types of cranes and working at height. After operatives have completed the training course, they need to be successfully assessed for competence before an HRW license is issued. The license needs to be renewed every five years, to ensure operatives maintain their skills and are aware of any fresh requirements or advances that affect working at height.

Yes! If you're not sure which equipment is going to work best at your Noosa location, we can come out and complete an expert assessment, taking into account factors such as location, terrain, nature of the project, loads to be lifted and similar variables. When we come out, we complete a thorough assessment, which gives us the information needed to design a complete EWP that's customised to your needs.

If you're happy with what we've produced, we'll ensure that the equipment you need is available when required. We aim to be as flexible as possible, so if the timings slip on your project or bad weather causes a delay, we can usually accommodate any changes in schedule.
