What is a crane?

A crane is an item of plant intended for raising or lowering a load and moving it horizontally including the supporting structure of the crane and its foundations.

There are a range of ‘fixed’ (tower, bridge, gantry, portal boom, vessel-mounted) and ‘mobile’ (slewing, non-slewing, vehicle loading) cranes.

A range of multi-purpose powered mobile plant including multi-purpose tool carriers and telescopic handlers may be classed as cranes in some operating configurations.

Further crane related definitions are in Appendix A.

You should use this guide if you own, hire, lease, handle, store, transport, maintain or manage the use of a crane in the workplace.

Who has duties under the law?

  • crane designer, manufacturer, importer and/or supplier
  • crane owner and other persons with management or control of the crane or the workplace where a crane will operate
  • competent person who inspects cranes, and
