CraneSafe Annual Inspections
CraneSafe annual inspections, organised through our inspector network and brought together in one fleet compliance record.
Annual assessments. A clear fleet record.
CraneSafe is CICA's voluntary third-party crane assessment program. Participation does not replace the inspection duties that apply to your equipment. Site and contract requirements also need to be considered.
IDC organises CraneSafe annual inspections through our inspector network across Australia. Tell us the equipment type and location, and we'll confirm the scope and arrangements. Our team includes CraneSafe-endorsed engineers.
One call. The complete process, organised.
Your fleet doesn't sit in one yard, and the annual needs to happen wherever the crane is working. IDC organises the complete process through our network of CraneSafe inspectors across Australia: we schedule the inspections around your jobs and yard time, the network gets them done wherever the cranes are, and every result comes back into one fleet compliance record.
You make one call. You don't chase a different provider in every state, and you don't keep the compliance picture in a filing cabinet — because scattered annual reports tell you nothing about where your fleet stands. Brought together in one place, they tell you everything: what's due, what's trending, and which cranes are heading toward the big engineering milestones.
And when an annual turns up something that needs more than a defect note — cracking, structural damage, a repair that needs engineering sign-off — IDC's engineers are already across the crane's history and take it from assessment through to verified repair.
Independence is a condition we apply, not just a principle we hold: the person assessing a crane is never connected to the company that owns it. That holds across our inspector network, not only for work our own engineers carry out.
Already have a CraneSafe inspector you trust? We can work with them too — the process and the compliance record work the same way.
We watch your compliance clock, so you don't have to.
Here's what most owners miss: the annual inspection is also the early-warning system for the major inspection.
Most sites won't accept a crane past 10 years without a completed major inspection. Hit that point unprepared and you're facing an unplanned engineering assessment, possible downtime, and a scramble for budget.
With your fleet records in place, we track where your cranes sit against their design life and flag upcoming major inspections. You can plan the engineering assessment, budget and downtime around your operational calendar. The engineers carrying out the major inspection can draw on that history.
That's the point of Complete Crane Compliance: the annual inspection, the major inspection, and the engineering in between — joined up by one partner who's watching the whole clock.
How it works
Tell us about the fleet
One crane or two hundred. We map what's due and when.
Annual inspections, wherever the cranes are
IDC schedules the inspections through our network of CraneSafe inspectors, around your yard schedule and job locations.
One compliance record
CraneSafe documentation plus a single fleet-wide compliance picture held by IDC — in plain language, not a filing cabinet of PDFs.
The major, planned — not sprung
IDC uses your fleet records to flag approaching major inspection triggers and takes the crane through the staged engineering assessment when it's due.
Get your fleet on one compliance clock.
Whether it's one Franna or a fleet of crawlers, the conversation starts the same way: tell us what you've got, and we'll map out where every crane stands.
