Run the whole lift
from one app.

Every drag, checked against the chart

Drop a job on a crane and the board answers instantly — green when the machine can do the lift, flagged when it can't, with the crane's actual rated capacity at that radius. Not a colour someone chose. The chart's verdict, live, as you plan the week.

Quote from the manufacturer's chart

Pick the right crane for the lift — load, hook block and rigging weight all in the maths. See utilisation against the real load chart and build a quote to send the customer on the spot.

Set what the site lets you work to — 80, 90 or 100 percent of chart — and it works out the lightest counterweight that stays under it, and what that saves you against full ballast. That's float movements, not rounding.

The crew know before they leave the yard

Each crane carries its standing rig — fitted block, whip line, what travels on the gear truck. When a lift needs more, the job says so in plain words: use the three-sheave block on the gear truck and reeve to 7 parts. On the crew's phones with the allocation.

Checked before the truck moves

Put a crane and a crew on a job and three checks run at once: is each bloke inducted for that site and still current on the day it's running, is the crane inducted for that site, and does the operator's licence class cover the machine.

It answers in words, not a red light — Sam is not inducted for Viva Energy Geelong, expired 3 June — and names who is inducted, so the swap takes ten seconds. Every move on the board runs it again against the new date.

Nothing slips through

Crane rego, insurance, services and 10-year majors. Crew tickets, VOCs and site inductions with their expiry dates — the licence says he may operate the class, the VOC says he was assessed on that machine.

Rigging gear on the quarterly RGBY cycle with its certificates attached to the item. A fault raised at pre-start lands in the workshop queue against that machine and closes when the service is logged. No phone call in it.

Six workspaces, one job

Sales wins the work, Ops allocates the crane and crew, the crew run it and sign it off, payroll gets the hours, the workshop gets the faults — and the owner's Executive view sees the lot. The job carries its own history the whole way.

Sign-off to invoice — and payroll that's right

The client signs off on site, the hours come back itemised — ordinary, overtime, standby — and CraneIQ builds the invoice and syncs it straight to your accounting software — Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks — with the paid status coming back when it clears. Wages price off your EBA rates, permanent and casual handled correctly, so nobody's short and nobody's overpaid.

What each machine actually earns

Margin on the quote before you send it — with the wages and the on-costs shown apart, because nobody believes a blended number they can't check.

Then utilisation, per machine, per month, taken straight off the board: hours billed against hours available. Every cost-per-hour figure in a crane business divides by an assumed number of billed hours a year, and that assumption is usually inherited and never tested. A crane costed at 1,500 hours and running 900 is being under-recovered by two thirds. This is the number that tells you.
