About the Crane Association

Membership

Being in the crane industry means you benefit in a number of ways from the work of the Crane Association. But until you join you won't know just how commercially valuable membership is to your business.

The Crane Association is a reliable and highly respected business partner. Read what some members have to say.

Crane Association membership - what's in it for you?

Have your say on new or existing legislation, laws, by-laws, rules and regulations that impact on your business. Your voice will be heard by the Crane Association as the authoritative industry organisation.

Co-ordinate your business interests with fellow members in dealing with government and other policy makers. Since the Crane Association represents the industry its members are the influential group in promoting, opposing or seeking change.

Receive vital industry information from one source. The Association through its involvement with various authorities receives information affecting industry training and qualifications, engineering safety, road safety, road transport policy and other matters of commercial significance to your business. As a member you will always promptly receive this material as a matter of course.

Benefit from collective power in the event of disputes. An issue that challenges one member can impact on the whole industry. In that event the Executive can act to do everything necessary in the interests of its members. (Such a case was successfully taken by the Crane Association over ACC levies.)

Use the member network, it is a valuable asset. Industry contacts can provide commercial opportunities, advice, new ideas and support in many other ways.

Annual conference learning is the experience of those who attend. In addition to Association affairs there are always new subjects and matters introduced at the annual conference that benefit members. Those who also experience other industry organisations insist the Crane Association conference is by far the most commercially valuable for their business.

Lower cost training. Members using Crane Training New Zealand Limited receive substantial rebates. The Crane Association Crane Safety Manual, acclaimed as one of the best for those involved with cranes, is available for members at a discounted rate.
