Lifting
Why Lifting Engineering is a Career of the Future
As Australia continues to invest heavily in infrastructure, renewable energy, mining, and advanced manufacturing, the demand for professionals who can safely and efficiently move massive objects is growing rapidly. Lifting Engineering — the specialised…
The Engineering Behind Jack-and-Slide Heavy Transport Systems
When massive structures, transformers, generators, or modular buildings need to be moved horizontally with precision, traditional cranes or heavy transport trailers are often impractical due to space constraints, weight limits, or ground conditions. This…
How to Handle “Critical Lifts” (Over 75% Capacity or High Risk)
In the lifting industry, not all lifts are equal. A critical lift — typically defined as any operation exceeding 75% of the crane’s rated capacity or involving high-risk factors — demands a significantly higher…
The Impact of Accelerations and Decelerations on Hoist Loads
In lifting operations, many riggers and operators focus primarily on the static weight of the load. However, the real forces experienced by hoists, slings, shackles, and cranes are often much higher due to accelerations…
How to Optimize Rigging Speed Without Sacrificing Safety
In the fast-paced world of construction, mining, and industrial projects across Australia, time is money. Rigging teams are often under pressure to work faster to meet tight schedules and keep projects on budget. However,…
