Background: How to maintain and inspect your vehicle loading crane for optimal performance in NSW?

It is important to perform regular visual inspections on your vehicle loading crane in order to ensure its safe operation.

Check for signs of damage or wear on the crane's components, such as the boom and cables, hooks and hydraulic systems.

To prevent further damage, it is important to address any visible defects immediately.

Functional Tests before Operation

It is important to perform functional tests on all components before using the vehicle loading lift to ensure they are working properly.

Test the crane controls. Check the hoisting and lowering abilities, rotation movements and safety features.

Before operating the crane, any abnormalities in its functionality should be reported to the crane's manufacturer and repaired. This will prevent accidents or malfunctions.

The crane's lifespan will be extended if you test its functions in a systematic way.

Regular maintenance and testing can reduce downtime and increase production in the long term.

Lubrication Schedules & Tips

1. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for the type of lubricant and the frequency.
   
2. Use the correct grease for your crane.
   
3. Lubricate all moving parts, including pivots and joints, to prevent friction and wear.
   
4. Check lubrication points regularly for signs of wear or dryness and reapply grease if necessary.
   

Checking and replacing hydraulic fluids:

1. Inspection of hydraulic fluids is necessary to detect contamination, leaks and correct levels.
   
2. Look for signs such as discoloration, air bubbles or moisture in the fluid.
   
3. If you detect any abnormalities, replace the hydraulic fluid immediately to maintain optimal performance.
   
4. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on the frequency of fluid replacements to ensure that the hydraulic system runs efficiently and reliably.
   

Operator Competency and Licensing

A person must have a High Risk Work (HRW) license to operate a vehicle-loading crane with a capacity greater than 10 metre tons.

This can be:

Vehicle Loading Crane Licence, or one of four slewing crane HRW licenses (Slewing Mobile Crane with a capacity between 20 and 60 tonnes, Slewing Mobile Crane with a capacity between 100 and 200 tonnes, Slewing Mobile Crane with a capacity above 100 tonnes).

A crane has 10 metre tonnes of capacity if, at any point on its load chart, the radius in metres multiplied by load (in tons) is equal or greater than 10.

A person who holds a HRW licence for a vehicle-loading crane is able to use load estimation and slinging methods when operating a VLC in normal circumstances.

NSW requires a licensed dogger if:

1. The VLC is used to position loads at elevated or remote locations.
   
2. The operator operates the crane with a licence for a mobile slewing crane.
   

What will you learn

1. Work orders or equivalents are used to identify the task requirements. A lift plan is confirmed by personnel involved and a site visit is conducted according to workplace procedures.
   
2. The lifting gear Working load limit (WLL) and the vehicle loading crane Rated capacity (RC) are determined for the required loads and tasks in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements and workplace procedures.
   
3. Checks are performed on the vehicle loading crane before it is started. Any damage or defects are reported and recorded, and appropriate actions are taken in accordance to safe work procedures and manufacturer's requirements.
   
4. The logbook for the vehicle loading crane is checked and is complete and signed. All required rectifications are signed off according to manufacturer requirements and safe working procedures.
   
5. The weather and work environment conditions will be assessed to determine if there are any impacts on the vehicle loading crane operation in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements and safe working procedures.
   
6. The boom/jib, and hook block should be positioned safely over the load in accordance with the lift plans and safe work procedures.
   
7. Lifting equipment is connected to the load, and used in a safe manner according to the lift plan, safety work procedures, and manufacturer requirements.
   
8. The crane boom/jib and lifting gear, as well as any associated equipment, are stowed away and secured in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements and safe working procedures.
   
9. As per the manufacturer's requirements and safe working procedures, apply the relevant motion locks and brakes.
