What the Association Does?

The Crane Association of New Zealand Inc is the national trade association for companies that operate or hire cranes and offer ancillary services relating to the crane industry.

The Association acts as a conduit between the members, the regulators and the training providers to provide leadership in crane industry best practice. It facilitates the highest standards of workplace safety, and promotes the premise that all crane operators must be trained, competent and are qualified on the equipment they are operating in the work environment.

To achieve this, the association works closely with its members, the government departments and agencies, Industry Training Organisation (ITO) as well as other associations and stakeholders.
