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.
Ridley Levitt Bucknall Crane IndexThe latest New Zealand Crane Index (1st Qtr 2019) has been released with updated stats on the construction crane sector. Auckland surpasses USA cities for number of cranes, and nationally we have reached an all time high. Read more >> 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

Wow, where did the year go? With the last month of the year upon us – and hopefully a stunning summer – this will be my final column for 2019.
There isn’t much to comment on that I and others haven’t done so in past newsletters, but I’ll do my best to raise the bar (excuse the pun). The Council had a meeting last month where we discussed the Association’s and industry’s achievements, as well as the challenges that have arisen. While we haven’t made any more progress on those obstacles, we’re confident their journeys will come to end in the new year. However, with this in mind, another concern has piqued our interest – mainly, Sitesafe’s work with Construction Health & Safety NZ (CHASNZ) around the variations in requirements for people to gain access to sites and other construction work areas.
