VisionA safe and sustainable crane industry
providing service to our community. MissionTo provide one clear voice, advocating with regulators,
authorities and industry partners to provide a safe and efficient crane industry for our members and our community. Code of EthicsThe Crane Association has a Code of Ethics that members must abide by. That Code of Ethics endorses the professionalism of members of the Association.
The Code of Ethics can be read >> here NZTA Bridge MapsIndicative crane access maps have been developed by NZTA to identify bridge constraints for information purposes for the crane industry. These will enable crane operators to identify bridge's status when planning routes to and from worksites. They are available on the NZTA Maphub >> here.
Lobbying and AdvocacyLobbying forms an important part of our role in representing the New Zealand cranes industry. As construction is a large contributor to the national GDP, the value of cranes to the nation means that we punch above our weight as the building and infrastructure sectors are totally reliant on cranes.
We can lobby local and central government as a collective voice and champion policies that allow our members in the crane industry to succeed. Current Lobby and Advocacy WorkWorkSafe NZ

Word from the President: October 2020
With the recent announcement that our economy is now in a recession, it’s best if I keep this month’s Word from the President short and sweet as there will – undoubtedly – be a lot on people’s plates.
As a result of the country’s falling GDP, our industry and our businesses will obviously face increasingly difficult times. And as these economic times become tougher, the regulatory requirements and compliance costs are likely to follow suit. However, it shouldn’t deter us – it certainly won’t deter the Association – from ensuring that we continue to grow and remain a construction sector leader. We can navigate it more efficiently as one unit, because as the saying goes – there is strength in numbers. And a collection of voices is more likely to influence, or bend the ear of, policymakers than any one individual can. To read further, click here. 2021 Crane Conference and Trade Exhibition
