What is the definition of a crane?

Does my overseas crane operator qualifications allow me to work in New Zealand?

Who could I contact about a crane operator job?

A crane means a powered device -

that can, by the movement of the whole device or of its boom, jib, trolley or such other part re-position or move suspended loads both vertically and horizontally; and

A mobile crane is a self-propelled vehicle that:
  • is designed solely or principally for lifting objects using a boom with lifting gear
  • only carries loads that are necessary for its own propulsion or equipment.
This definition excludes:
  • trucks fitted with crane apparatus, such as a knuckle boom crane - a crane fitted to a vehicle to lift goods on and off the vehicle
  • vehicle recovery service vehicles (tow trucks).
