What’s This About?
Heads up, WA construction and mining workers! New safety rules are coming soon. If you use gear like excavators, loaders, or skid steers to lift heavy stuff (over 3 tonnes), you’ll need a proper licence starting next year.
This page explains the new requirement for an Earthmoving Equipment Crane Licence in WA. We’ll cover:
What’s changing

Who needs this licence

What gear it affects

How Saferight can help you get sorted before the August 10, 2025 deadline.
How Things Work Now
Right now, you can use earthmoving gear for small lifts (like pipes or pallets) without a special High Risk Work Licence (HRWL), but only if the lift is 3 tonnes or less.
What’s Changing from August 10, 2025?
Here’s the big change: From August 10, 2025, if you use earthmoving gear to lift anything over 3 tonnes, the person driving must have the right High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) for crane operations.
Think of this HRWL as your Earthmoving Equipment Crane Licence in WA for those bigger lifting jobs. It’s all about making sure these lifts are done as safely as using a dedicated crane.
What Gear Does This Affect?
This new rule about needing an earthmoving equipment crane licence WA applies when you use common site machines for lifting heavy loads (over 3 tonnes). This includes:
Excavators

Skid steer loaders

Graders

Backhoes

Front-end loaders / Wheeled loaders
If the machine is lifting materials (not just digging or pushing dirt) and the load is over the 3-tonne limit, the operator needs the licence by the deadline.
What Kind of Licence Do You Need? (CN or C2)
There are two main HRWL tickets you might need:
CN Licence (Non-Slewing Mobile Crane): This is for gear where the load doesn’t swing side-to-side separately from the machine body (like a standard front-end loader lifting something).

C2 Licence (Slewing Mobile Crane – Basic): This is for mobile cranes that have a slewing boom (able to rotate), such as truck-mounted cranes or rough terrain slewing cranes.
Not sure which one you need for your machine? Best bet is to ask a qualified trainer or your site safety supervisor. Getting the correct earthmoving equipment crane licence (WA) is key.
Why Are They Making These New Rules?
It boils down to safety on site. Making sure operators have the right licence helps to:
Boost Safety: Trained operators mean fewer mistakes and accidents (like tipping over or dropping loads).

Keep Rules Clear: Same safety standards for heavy lifting, no matter the machine.

Cover Your Back: Reduces problems for workers and bosses if something goes wrong.

Follow the Law: Meets the requirements of the main Work Health and Safety (WHS) rules.
When’s the Deadline? Don’t Miss It!
Remember this date: August 10, 2025. That’s when you must have the right earthmoving equipment crane licence in WA if you’re lifting loads over 3 tonnes with this gear. The time to get ready is now!
Who Needs to Get Ready?
You should look into this now if you:
Drive earthmoving gear and use it for lifting heavy loads?

Work in mining, construction, or civil jobs in WA?

Plan on doing an earthmoving ticket soon (like Excavator, Loader) and might do lifting tasks?

Supervise crews who use machines for lifting?

Want to make sure you’re legal and ready for work?
If you answered yes, check if you need this earthmoving equipment crane licence.
Attention Employers: It’s your responsibility to make sure your workers have the correct licences for high-risk work!
Get Your CN or C2 Licence Sorted with Saferight
Need an earthmoving equipment crane licence in WA for non-slewing machines (like loaders) or a slewing crane license (C2)? Saferight has the courses you need: the CN Crane Licence (Non-Slewing Mobile Crane) and the C2 Crane Licence (Slewing Crane).
These courses are ideal if you use loaders or similar gear for lifting over 3 tonnes (CN) or operate slewing cranes (C2). Get compliant before the deadline!
What you get with Saferight’s CN courses:
Real practice on actual site machinery.

Trainers who’ve worked in the industry and know their stuff.

Understanding the differences between slewing and non-slewing mobile cranes is essential for choosing the right course and equipment for your needs. At Saferight, we offer a range of mobile crane courses designed to equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate these cranes safely and effectively. In this blog, we will explore the differences between slewing and non-slewing cranes, provide an overview of our mobile crane courses, and guide you on how to enrol.
Introduction to Mobile Crane Courses
Mobile crane courses are essential for anyone looking to work in industries that require heavy lifting and material handling. Mobile cranes are versatile pieces of equipment used in various industries for lifting and moving heavy loads. They are broadly classified into slewing and non-slewing cranes based on their boom rotation capabilities. Saferight offers comprehensive training for both types, ensuring you are well-prepared to operate these cranes in real-world scenarios.
Understanding Non-Slewing Cranes
What is a Non-Slewing Crane?
A non-slewing crane, also known as a non-rotating or fixed-base crane, is characterised by its inability to rotate the boom around a central axis. Unlike slewing cranes, non-slewing cranes have a fixed boom that can only move up and down, making them simpler and often more cost-effective for specific lifting tasks.
Key Features of Non-Slewing Cranes
Fixed Boom
The boom in non-slewing cranes is fixed in one direction and can only be raised or lowered. This limited range of motion makes them ideal for applications where lifting needs are straightforward and within a confined area.
Stability
Non-slewing cranes are typically more stable than slewing cranes because their design reduces the risk of tipping over. The fixed boom and limited movement contribute to their stability, making them suitable for use on uneven or rough terrain.
Compact Design
These cranes are often more compact and easier to transport compared to their slewing counterparts. Their simpler design means fewer components, which can translate to lower maintenance costs and easier operation.
Applications
Non-slewing cranes are commonly used in industries such as construction, agriculture, and logistics. They are ideal for tasks like loading and unloading materials, lifting heavy objects within a restricted area, and other jobs that don’t require the boom to rotate.
Cost-Effectiveness
Due to their simpler mechanism and limited range of motion, non-slewing cranes are often less expensive to purchase and maintain. This makes them a cost-effective choice for businesses that need reliable lifting solutions without the added complexity of a slewing crane.
What Are Non-Slewing Cranes Used For?
Material Handling
Non-slewing mobile cranes are frequently used for loading and unloading materials. Their ability to pick up loads and carry them to a different location makes them invaluable in warehouses, distribution centres, and construction sites.
Assembly and Installation
These cranes are often employed in assembly and installation tasks. For example, they can lift and position heavy machinery, structural components, or large equipment parts with precision.
Maintenance and Repair
In industrial settings, non-slewing mobile cranes assist in maintenance and repair activities. They can lift and transport parts that need servicing, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
Transporting Loads
Their primary function as pick-and-carry cranes means they are used to move loads from one part of a job site to another. This is especially useful in scenarios where other means of transport are impractical.
Non-Slewing Crane Courses
CN Non-Slewing Mobile Crane
Course Overview
The CN Non-Slewing Mobile Crane course covers the operation of non-slewing cranes in various work environments. This course is ideal for those who need to operate cranes for material handling and other lifting tasks in construction and industrial settings.
Units of Competency
Conduct non-slewing crane operations
Apply site safety procedures
Perform routine checks and maintenance
Understanding Slewing Cranes
What is a Slewing Crane?
Slewing cranes, also known as rotating cranes, can rotate the boom around a central axis, allowing for a full 360-degree movement. This capability provides greater flexibility and reach compared to non-slewing cranes.
Key Features of Slewing Cranes
Rotating Boom
The defining feature of a slewing crane is its rotating boom. This boom can turn around a central axis, allowing the operator to lift and place loads anywhere within the crane’s radius without needing to reposition the entire crane.
Versatility
Slewing cranes are highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including construction, shipping, and heavy industry. Their ability to rotate makes them ideal for tasks that require precise positioning of materials over a large area.
Extended Reach
The rotating boom of a slewing crane can extend horizontally and vertically, providing a wide range of motion. This makes slewing cranes suitable for complex lifting operations where obstacles need to be navigated.
Complexity and Control
Due to their advanced rotating mechanism, slewing cranes are more complex and require sophisticated control systems. Operators need to be well-trained to handle the crane’s movements safely and effectively.
Applications
Slewing cranes are commonly used on construction sites, in shipyards, and for infrastructure projects. They are essential for tasks that involve lifting heavy materials to high elevations or moving them horizontally across a job site.
Cost and Maintenance
While slewing cranes offer greater flexibility and reach, they are typically more expensive to purchase and maintain compared to non-slewing cranes. Their complexity and additional moving parts require regular maintenance and skilled operation.
What Are Slewing Mobile Cranes Used For?
Construction Industry
High-Rise Building Construction
Slewing mobile cranes are extensively used in constructing skyscrapers and other tall structures. Their ability to manoeuvre heavy materials to significant heights is invaluable.
Bridge Construction
These cranes are essential for lifting and positioning large bridge segments, facilitating the construction of both small and large-scale bridges.
Residential and Commercial Projects
From small residential buildings to large commercial complexes, slewing mobile cranes are indispensable for various lifting tasks, such as placing steel beams, concrete panels, and prefabricated components.
Industrial Applications
Manufacturing Plants
In manufacturing settings, slewing mobile cranes are used to lift and move heavy machinery and equipment, ensuring efficient production processes.
Power Plants
These cranes are vital for installing and maintaining heavy components like turbines, generators, and other machinery in power plants, including nuclear, thermal, and hydroelectric facilities.
Infrastructure Development
Road and Highway Construction
Slewing mobile cranes play a significant role in the construction and maintenance of roads and highways, assisting in the placement of heavy barriers, signage, and bridge components.
Railway Projects
These cranes are used for laying tracks, positioning large segments of railway infrastructure, and maintenance tasks.
Marine and Offshore Industries
Shipbuilding
In shipyards, slewing mobile cranes are essential for assembling and repairing ships, handling heavy parts like hull sections, engines, and other components.
