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 hoisting and lifting equipment. 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 and helps you keep critical lifting operations moving without unnecessary disruption.
Our hoisting & lifting engineering capabilities
Engineering Support for Lifting Systems
Mechanical engineering expertise to assess, improve and support safe lifting operations.
Major Hoist Inspections
Thorough inspections to identify wear, risks and maintenance needs before they impact reliability.
Independent Compliance Reviews
Unbiased engineering reviews to confirm lifting systems meet Australian Standards and regulatory expectations.
Engineering Design & Drafting for Lifting Systems
Practical mechanical design and clear drafting to support upgrades, fabrication and safe 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 for critical lifting operations. We provide independent compliance reviews and engineering assessment, helping teams make decisions backed by clear, defensible evidence.
When new lifting solutions 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 lifting system modifications that fit real‑world operational needs while meeting Australian Standards.

Customer success stories
Engineering design and certification of davit cranes
Advitech’s engineering team successfully designed and certified two custom davit cranes for installation atop a 40m high storage tank for one of Australia’s leading energy companies.
Increased recovery of saleable coal at a coal preparation plant
Advitech helped a coal-handling and preparation plant to design and construct modifications to their flotation and dewatering circuits. The cost of the project was repaid within six months thanks to the resulting increase in saleable product and reduction in tailings disposal costs.
Machinery Safety Audit and Assessment for Leading Multinational Retailer
Advitech helped a large retailer to assess its machine safety to protect its people, meet its legal obligations, and foster a culture of safety that extends across every site.
Design of a new turntable roller support
Advitech assisted a locomotive manufacturer to design a new roller support for a rail turntable.
Engineering verification and functional safety at a renowned performance venue
Advitech was engaged by a staging equipment supplier to provide independent third party engineering design verification for their specialised hoisting and lifting equipment, as part of a major upgrade at a prominent Sydney opera and theatre venue.
