FAQs

  • Do you certify the working load limits (WLL) of lifting, hauling and storage equipment?

    Yes, we do certify the WLL of all lifting, hauling and storage equipment. There are Australian Standards and various state codes of practice which govern the design, use and maintenance of such equipment. When we certify such equipment, we ensure that all Australian Standards and the relevant state codes of practice are adhered to.

  • Are you insured?

    Yes, ever since the company was formed in 1993, we have held Professional Indemnity insurance.

  • How do you manage the risks of structural failure of lifting, hauling and storage equipment?

    We carry out all design and certification work to approved working procedures. All the work is certified by qualified mechanical and/or structural engineers who have had years of experience in those fields. In Queensland, all engineers are to be registered with the Board Of Professional Engineers. The registered engineers can use the title RPEQ (Registered Professional Engineer, Queensland) after their names. There are 3 main disciplines an engineer can be registered in-Mech., Structure & Elect.

    We are flexible and can charge you on an hourly rate. Alternatively, we can provide you with a fixed price quotation. Our quotations are free and obligation free. To provide you with a free quotation, we may visit you depending on the nature of the project. For some projects, you may send us sketches and/or drawings of what you wish us to do. From the information, you supply we will prepare a quotation and email it to you.

  • How do I get a quotation for work I wish to get done?

If you want to proceed with the work, either send us a purchase order or send us an email. Once we receive written confirmation, we will schedule the work.

    For smaller projects, we will issue you with a tax invoice after we have completed the project. You are generally given 14 days from the date of the invoice to pay. You may pay by cheque or by direct deposit. For larger projects, we may invoice you on a fortnightly or monthly basis. We are flexible and can make these arrangements with you before we start. In some cases, we ask for a deposit before commencing any work. If a deposit is required, we state it in our quotation.

  • Do you do design and drafting work?

    Yes, we provide design and drafting services as well. All our designs are checked by qualified engineers.

  • Do you also issue certificate 15s for domestic steel framed structures?

    Yes, we do. We ensure that the structure meets the BCA requirements for strength before we issue a certificate 15s in Queensland. Domestic steel framing is covered by Australian Standards AS4600 and AS4000. We use software developed by the University of Sydney (PRFELB, PURLIN, and THIN) to check structures built using cold-formed steel. The thicknesses of the steel used in these sort of structures usually vary from 0.42 to 3.0 mm. There is ongoing research being carried out by Sydney University.

  • Do you certify lifting and spreader beams?

    WLL certification of lifting and spreader beams is one of the services we provide. Lifting and spreader beams are covered by Australian Standard AS4991.

  • Do we have to get all our storage, lifting and hauling equipment certified by qualified engineers?

    Some storage, lifting and hauling equipment may have to be certified by a qualified engineer by legislation. There are other equipment where WLL certification by a qualified engineer is not mandatory. However, the onus is on the company using these equipment to ensure the safety of the equipment. If unsure, it is recommended that the equipment is checked and certified by a qualified engineer.
