Why local matters for a jib crane install
Perth's industrial mix — mining services and FIFO support across Kewdale and Welshpool, oil and gas fabrication in Henderson, defence shipbuilding at Henderson, and resource-sector maintenance facilities in Kalgoorlie and the Pilbara — drives a wide range of jib crane requirements. A jib crane sized correctly for a precision assembly cell looks nothing like one specified for heavy fabrication or mining maintenance. Getting the engineering review done by someone who's actually walked the site, measured the structure, and understood the duty cycle is the difference between a crane that serves your operation for decades and one that fails its first major inspection.
We work directly with Perth businesses across the metro area and into Kalgoorlie and the Pilbara. Site visits are free, and the engineering review starts before the quote — not after the order is placed.
Compliance — Western Australia. Western Australia operates under its own Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022. WorkSafe WA design registration applies to cranes that meet Schedule 5 thresholds; we prepare the design documentation and certification needed for lodgement.
Perth's heavy-industry mix — mining maintenance workshops in Kewdale and Welshpool, oil-and-gas fabrication in Henderson, and the Australian Marine Complex defence shipbuilding precinct — calls for higher-duty class cranes than the eastern states' average. Most WA workshops we specify into are M5 or M6 duty under AS 1418.1, with corrosion protection rated for coastal Fremantle and inland Pilbara service environments.
Jib Crane variants we supply in Perth
The standard range covers freestanding (column-mounted), wall-mounted, pillar-mounted, track-mounted, and articulated folding-arm configurations, all available with 125 kg to 5 t capacity and reach to 6 m. Each variant suits different applications:
- Standard configurations — most Perth installations
- Heavy-duty configurations — for high-cycle production lines and mining maintenance
- Custom-engineered configurations — when your application doesn't fit a standard product
For a full description of variants and technical specifications, see our national jib crane page.

- Handover documentation — engineering calcs, certificates, O&M manuals, WorkSafe design registration where required
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply jib cranes across Perth?
Yes — we design, supply and install jib cranes across the entire Perth metropolitan area including Kewdale, Welshpool, Henderson, Bibra Lake, Naval Base, Kwinana, Forrestfield, Malaga, Wangara, Bayswater, plus regional Western Australia. Site visits are free and typically scheduled within a week of enquiry.
How long does a jib crane install take in Perth?
Typical jib crane installations take 1-2 days on site once the supplied components arrive. Lead time from order to install is usually 4-8 weeks depending on capacity, structural design complexity and whether WorkSafe design registration is required for your jurisdiction.
Are your jib cranes compliant with WA WorkSafe requirements?
Every jib crane we supply is designed to AS 1418 and AS 2550 and includes the engineering documentation needed for WA WorkSafe registration where applicable. We manage the design registration process where the crane requires it.
