Specialised Hoisting & Lifting
Practical engineering for safe, reliable hoisting systems
Hoisting and lifting systems operate under constant pressure, including high loads, repeated use and strict regulatory oversight. When equipment performance declines or documentation falls behind, downtime and safety risk can escalate quickly. Advitech’s mechanical engineers specialise in the assessment, design and compliance of the lifting appliance itself, the crane, hoist or winder, against AS 1418. We bring practical site experience together with rigorous engineering analysis to provide advice that operators, auditors and regulators can trust. Our work improves safety performance, strengthens compliance pathways andhelps you keep critical hoisting equipment in service without unnecessary disruption.
Our hoisting & lifting engineering capabilities
Hoist Mechanical Assessment
Assessment of drives, brakes, ropes and sheaves against duty cycle, service life and operating conditions.
Major Hoist Inspections
Thorough inspections to identify wear, risks and maintenance needs before they impact reliability.
Independent Compliance Reviews
Unbiased engineering reviews to confirm hoisting equipment meets Australian Standards and regulatory expectations.
Mechanical Design for Hoisting Equipment
Design of hoist and crane machinery, including drives, brakes and guarding, with drafting to support fabrication and installation.
Problems we help you solve
When equipment performance becomes uncertain
Wear, ageing components and inconsistent operating conditions can affect the reliability of hoisting systems. We assess equipment condition and identify practical improvements to maintain safe, predictable performance.
When inspections or records are overdue
Regulated lifting equipment requires clear documentation, inspection history and evidence of compliance. We complete major inspections and rebuild documentation, giving operators confidence and reducing regulatory risk.
When past modifications weren’t properly documented
Changes made over years of operation can create unknowns that increase compliance exposure. We review existing plant, verify configuration and update engineering records, ensuring your lifting systems align with requirements.
When you need independent verification or unbiased advice
Operators and OEMs often need impartial engineering input, especially where the equipment is safety critical. We provide independent compliance reviews and engineering assessment, helping teams make decisions backed by clear, defensible evidence.
When new hoisting equipment must integrate safely with existing plant
Introducing or upgrading hoisting equipment requires careful consideration of loads, operating environments and site limitations. We design and engineer hoisting equipment modifications that fit real‑world operational needs while meeting Australian Standards.

Customer success stories
Design and Certification
Engineering design and certification of davit cranes
One of Australia’s leading energy companies needed two custom davit cranes installed on top of a 40 metre high storage tank. Working at that height constrained access, installation sequence and the design itself.
Outcome
Two custom davit cranes designed and certified for installation at 40 metres.

Independent Verification
Engineering verification and functional safety at a renowned performance venue
A staging equipment supplier needed independent third party design verification of specialised hoisting and lifting equipment, as part of a major upgrade at a prominent Sydney opera and theatre venue.
Outcome
Independent design verification delivered to support a major upgrade at a landmark venue.
