Tower crane guides
What the rules actually require in British Columbia, written plainly, by people who have to follow them on their own machines. No sales pitch in the middle of it.
- Inspection requirements in BCWhat the OHS Regulation requires, where CSA Z248 applies, who may do it and what must be written down.
- What a maintenance schedule containsThe four clocks a tower crane runs on — dates, operating hours, events and expiry dates — and how many items sit on each.
- Notice of Project, and the rest of the paperworkWhat has to exist before a tower crane goes up, and what a general contractor will ask you for.
- Records you have to keepWhich records BC requires, who has to produce them, and what a contractor asks for before a crane goes on their site.
- Wind limits — working, erecting, out of serviceWhy a tower crane has more than one wind limit, and why the erecting figure is the one people get wrong.
We run 265 of these requirements on our own cranes
Every machine comes with its inspection and service record kept against it, and we send the certificates the day you ask. If you need a crane, or a hand with the paperwork on one you already have, get in touch.
