Installation & Compliance — Done Right, Documented Correctly

Buying a crane is one thing. Installing it correctly — and having the documentation to prove it — is another. This is where a lot of companies cut corners, and where a lot of problems start.

At Sorian, installation is carried out by experienced, trained personnel supervised by a qualified mechanical engineer. Every installation comes with a full documentation package: engineering calculations, installation records, pre-commissioning checklist, and handover documentation.

What's included in every installation

  • Site survey and pre-installation structural assessment.
  • Engineering calculations — structural loads, anchor design, beam sizing.
  • Supply of all crane components, runway, end stops, electrics.
  • Installation by trained personnel.
  • Pre-commissioning load testing.
  • Handover documentation package — calculations, certificates, O&M manual.
  • Compliance to AS 1418 and AS 2550 confirmed in writing.

WorkSafe design registration

Cranes above certain capacity and/or configuration thresholds require WorkSafe design registration before installation. We manage this process as part of the project — including registered engineer review where required.

Why this matters

An installed crane is a structural connection between the load and your building. If the runway beam is undersized, the anchor bolts are under-spec'd, or the welds aren't to a recognised structural welding standard, the failure mode is not a slow-motion warning — it's a sudden one. The documentation package isn't paperwork; it's the evidence trail your H&S manager, your insurer, and the regulator will all want to see.

Every Sorian install ships with the calculation package, the certificates, and a written compliance statement. No exceptions, no extra cost — it's how the work is sold.
