Choosing the Right Crane for Your Site

Every worksite has different lifting needs. Before recommending a crane or lifting system, important factors need to be considered.

These may include:

In Australia, overhead crane systems may need to comply with relevant Australian Standards, including the AS 1418 series. The right crane system for your site will depend on load classification, building structure, operational requirements and relevant compliance obligations. Coastwide can help you understand what applies to your site and recommend equipment suited to your needs.


Coastwide can help you assess these requirements and select equipment that suits your operation.

Site & Building Requirements

  • Load capacity
  • Span and lifting height
  • Site layout and available space
  • Building structure

Operation & Workflow

  • Frequency of use
  • Workflow and material movement
  • Indoor or outdoor operation
  • Operator needs

Power, Compliance & Future Planning

  • Power and control requirements
  • Maintenance requirements
  • Future expansion or upgrade plans
  • Relevant compliance obligations

Electric Overhead Cranes

Electric overhead cranes are commonly used in workshops, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and industrial environments where regular lifting and load movement are required.


They can be designed to suit different spans, capacities and operating requirements, making them a practical option for businesses that need reliable overhead lifting across a defined work area.

Jib Cranes

Jib cranes are useful for workstations, loading areas, workshops and smaller lifting zones. They are often wall-mounted or column-mounted and can help improve material handling in a specific work area.


Jib cranes may be suitable where a business needs localised lifting support without requiring a full overhead crane system.

Gantry Cranes

Gantry cranes are supported by their own legs rather than relying entirely on a building structure. They may be fixed, portable or rail-mounted depending on the application.


Gantry cranes can be a practical option for sites that need flexible overhead lifting or lack the structural capacity for a traditional overhead bridge crane.

Monorail Crane Systems

Monorail crane systems use a single fixed track to carry a mobile hoist along a defined path. Unlike bridge cranes, the hoist does not move side-to-side; instead, the track guides the load along a specific linear route through a facility.


Monorail tracks can be configured with curves, elevation changes, and line switches to suit the layout of a production floor, assembly line, or material-handling process. This makes them a practical option for businesses where loads consistently follow the same route rather than needing coverage across a full rectangular bay.


Monorail systems are commonly used in manufacturing, production and processing environments where repetitive, path-specific material movement is required. Coastwide can assist with monorail system installation, servicing and maintenance as part of our broader crane and lifting equipment support.

Hoists

Coastwide supplies and supports wire rope hoists and electric chain hoists for a wide range of lifting applications.



Hoists may be used as part of an overhead crane system, jib crane, gantry crane, portal crane or monorail system. The right hoist will depend on the load, duty requirements, lift height, operating environment and frequency of use.

Winches

Winches can support controlled lifting, pulling or positioning of loads in suitable industrial and workshop applications.


They may be used as part of broader lifting, handling or crane-related systems, depending on the site requirements, load type and operating environment.


Coastwide can assist with winch selection, installation support, servicing, repairs and maintenance as part of our crane and lifting equipment support.

Vacuum Lifters

Vacuum lifters can assist with the safe and efficient handling of suitable materials such as sheets, panels or other products that require controlled lifting and movement.


They may help reduce manual handling strain and improve workflow where the application is suitable.
