Third-Party Crane Inspections & Compliance Audits

At Safe Lifting Australia, we offer independent third-party crane inspections to help ensure your lifting equipment is safe, compliant, and operating within its intended design parameters.

Our ISO 9001 certified inspectors provide an unbiased assessment of your cranes and lifting assets, identifying potential risks and confirming whether your current service provider is meeting compliance obligations under Australian Standards AS 1418 and AS 2550.

✅ What We Offer in a Third-Party Inspection

Independent Compliance Verification
An impartial review of crane condition and compliance — ideal for asset owners, insurers, auditors, or PCBU’s seeking external assurance.
DWP (Design Working Period) & Remaining Life Calculations
We assess your crane’s usage history and mechanical condition to determine its remaining design life, aligned with AS 2550.1 and AS 2550.3.
Duty Confirmation & Operating Classification Check
Confirm whether the crane is operating within its original duty rating and design classification, or if upgrades, re-rating, or a major assessment is due.
Review of Previous Maintenance & Repairs
We audit your current service provider’s maintenance records and recent repair works to verify workmanship, compliance, and adequacy.
Crane Health Check
A full mechanical and visual inspection covering structure, rope condition, brakes, control systems, overload protection, limit switches, and more.
Electronic Reports with Photographic Evidence
Every inspection includes a detailed digital report outlining findings, deficiencies, and corrective action recommendations.
