Australian First: RKA Industrial Solutions Reinvents Crane Servicing with Custom Holistic Monthly Plans*
MEDIA RELEASE
8 October 2025
Sydney, Australia — Too many businesses are paying for crane servicing that doesn’t actually solve the problem.
At RKA Industrial Solutions, we see it all the time, rushed jobs, hidden costs, and repeat faults that keep coming back. The cheapest hourly rate crane companies often end up being the most expensive, as their business is built on repeat “band-aid” solutions.
RKA Industrial Solutions Managing Director Ryan Adams says many site managers are unknowingly being overcharged for short-term “fixes” that don’t address the real issues or root cause.
“We see it all the time — companies doing patch jobs, marking the job ‘complete,’ and leaving the same fault to reappear weeks later,” Mr Adams said.
To change that, RKA Industrial Solutions has introduced one of Australia’s first fully customised monthly crane service plans.
Each RKA plan can include preventative maintenance, compliance inspections (AS 2550.1), digital reports, operator training, SOP development, repair plans, and asset management — all tailored to the customer’s site and risk level.
According to RKA, maintenance managers can protect themselves — and their budgets — by following five simple rules:
- Ask for detailed digital service reports — not just pieces of paper.
- Be across the Australian Standards — and make sure your service provider is, too
- Check their crane systems are documented and followed by all staff.
- Ensure their staff are trained in how to use their equipment.
- Choose providers who plan ahead, not those who wait for things to fail.
“These aren’t just minor oversights — poor maintenance and missed inspections can have devastating consequences,” Mr. Adams said.
“In one Melbourne case, a worker was killed when a container of concrete fell from a crane after a missing safety pin went undetected. The crane company was later fined $400,000 for safety breaches.”
“That tragedy shows what’s at stake when inspections aren’t done properly. A thorough servicing program isn’t just about compliance — it’s about preventing the kind of failures that can cost lives.”

Based in Riverstone, NSW, RKA Industrial Solutions works with manufacturing, construction, and warehouse clients across Sydney. The company’s approach has earned a reputation for reliability, honest communication, and practical solutions that keep operations moving.
“Our goal is simple,” Mr. Adams added. “We are committed to transforming the crane and lifting equipment industry. To give maintenance managers peace of mind — knowing their cranes are safe, compliant, and cared for without the stress of unreliable cranes.”
