Rigging involves the process of preparing loads for lifting, including selecting and attaching slings, chains, hooks and other gear to safely secure the item to the crane. Proper rigging ensures the load remains stable and secure during transit, preventing it from swinging, shifting or falling. It’s a skill that requires knowledge of weight distribution, centre of gravity, sling angles and lifting techniques. Riggers must hold appropriate licences—RB, RI or RA depending on job complexity. Faulty rigging can lead to accidents, equipment damage or injury. That’s why experienced riggers are essential for every crane job, no matter how simple the lift may seem.

An all-terrain crane is a versatile mobile crane designed for both on-road and off-road use. It combines the highway-speed mobility of truck cranes with the rough terrain capability of off-road cranes. Featuring multiple axles, all-wheel steering, advanced suspension and large tyres, it’s suited for complex or remote worksites. All-terrain cranes typically have high lifting capacities (e.g. 55 tonnes) and telescopic booms, making them ideal for large infrastructure projects, mining operations or industrial installations. Their stability is enhanced by outriggers, and they can be set up quickly. This type of crane is a popular choice when you need power, reach and flexibility in one unit.

A spotter plays a critical safety role in crane operations, especially when the operator’s view is limited. The spotter assists in guiding the crane’s movements using hand signals or two-way radios, helping to avoid obstacles, maintain clearances and keep personnel out of danger zones. Spotters also monitor the lift area for hazards and ensure the exclusion zone remains secure. They’re often required when working near power lines, buildings or congested sites. Spotters must be trained, attentive and in constant communication with the crane operator. Their presence significantly reduces the risk of accidents, making them an essential part of the lift team.
