Crane Crew Labour Hire

Ensure the success of your crane lifting operation with support from highly trained operators and crew members. We provide labour hire throughout Mackay, ensuring every crane hire project is backed by the experience and skill required for safe, efficient lifting. Our services are reinforced by qualified riggers and doggers who understand the demands of precise lifting work.


Crane lifting operations often involve detailed planning and multiple crew members working together. Every load must be slung securely, controlled with care and moved with precision to avoid tilting or instability. By combining proper equipment selection with professional coordination, your lifting operation can run smoothly and safely from start to finish.


From the riggers and doggers who select and set the rigging to assisting the crane operator, we can assemble a crew of experienced professionals to manage your project with confidence. All crew members are licensed, reliable and committed to high-quality workmanship. For skilled labour hire you can trust, call us at 07 4998 5978.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much notice do you need for labour or crane hire?

    Depending on workload and scheduling demands, one to two days’ notice is usually ideal for arranging labour or crane hire. This timeframe allows proper planning, equipment allocation and operator availability. However, unexpected situations do occur, and calling as soon as possible increases the likelihood of securing suitable support at short notice.

  • Can labour hire workers be booked for short-term projects?

    Labour hire is suitable for both short-term and long-term projects. By booking in advance, we can provide workers for a single day, a specific lift, or an entire project phase. Short-term hire is particularly useful for peak periods, specialised tasks or sudden increases in workload that require immediate skilled support.

  • What tasks can riggers and doggers perform?

    A dogger (or dogman) is a qualified construction professional responsible for

    safely slinging loads, selecting appropriate lifting gear (chains, slings, hooks), and directing crane operators, especially when the load is out of the operator's view


    Riggers ensure loads are secure, determine weights, and use signals to guide crane movements. A rigger specializes in lifting, moving, and positioning heavy loads, equipment, and structural materials on sites like construction, mining, and shipbuilding using cranes, hoists, cables, and chains. They are crucial for safety, inspecting equipment, securing loads, and guiding crane operators, while also erecting temporary structures like scaffolding.
