Crane Relocations & Removals Sydney
Moving or removing an overhead crane isn’t just unbolting it and lifting it away. It’s engineering checks, compliance requirements and precise planning. RKA manages the entire process — from planning and dismantling to relocation, recommissioning or safe disposal — done right, on time, and with minimal downtime.
Every move backed by engineering assessments, DWP checks and lifting plans.
What a crane move involves
Site assessment & planning
A detailed site visit covering your requirements, lifting infrastructure, access constraints and safety considerations.
Engineering review
Structural and mechanical assessments so the crane can be safely dismantled, transported and reinstalled — and stays compliant at its new location.
Dismantling & decommissioning
Safe, controlled processes that protect the equipment and surrounding infrastructure.
Transport & logistics
Loading, securing and moving your crane components to the new location.
Reinstallation & commissioning
Reinstalled to manufacturer specifications and Australian Standards, with full functional testing.
Disposal & recycling
Permanently removed cranes are disposed of or recycled responsibly, with compliance documentation.
We relocate and remove
- Overhead gantry cranes
- Jib cranes and monorails
- Workstation bridge cranes
- Hoists and trolleys
- Fixed lifting frames and runways
End-to-end service, compliance-focused, experienced crews — and we work around your operational needs to keep downtime minimal. Need the crane replaced rather than moved? Our installation team designs and fits new cranes too.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Can you move our crane to a completely different site?
Yes. We manage the entire process — planning, engineering checks, dismantling, transport, reinstallation and commissioning at the new location — so your crane arrives compliant and ready to work.
Q: Does a relocated crane need to be recommissioned?
Yes. After reinstallation we recommission the crane to manufacturer specifications and Australian Standards, with full functional testing before it lifts a load.
Q: How much downtime should we expect?
We plan every move around your operational needs and work to minimise downtime. Timeframes depend on the crane and both sites — after the site assessment we’ll give you a clear schedule.
Q: What do you do with cranes that are being permanently removed?
We dismantle and remove them safely, and components are disposed of or recycled responsibly — with documentation provided for your compliance records.
Q: Is the relocation work compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes. All work is carried out to AS 2550.1, AS 1418 and relevant safety regulations, backed by engineering assessments, DWP checks and lifting plans.
