Safety and efficiency are two of the biggest priorities in construction. Having the right equipment for moving people and materials around the site is essential to keeping everything on track. At Saferight, we know that terms like “Personnel & Materials Hoists” and “Materials Hoist” can sound pretty technical, especially if you’re not deep in the industry. But don’t stress – we’re here to break it down for you.
In this post, we’ll explain exactly what these hoists are, how they differ, and how to choose the right one for your needs. Whether you’re looking to boost your career or just stay on top of compliance, we’ve got the info to help you make the best decision.
A Personnel & Materials Hoist is an industrial lift built to safely move workers and materials up and down multi-level construction sites. These hoists are designed so a worker can get to their workspace with all the gear and materials they need, making them ideal for complex layouts and high-rise projects.
Because it’s a dual-purpose hoist, the Personnel & Materials Hoist has to meet strict safety standards and include top-notch safety features to protect everyone onboard. At Saferight, we offer the Operate Personnel and Materials Hoist Course, giving you hands-on training in using these specialised hoists. This course covers everything you need to know, from safely loading and unloading to following specific safety practices in areas where workers and materials are being moved.
A Materials Hoist is specifically designed to lift and move heavy materials between different levels at a construction site – it’s not built for carrying people. This type of hoist is perfect for sites where only materials need to be transported, with no requirement to move workers. Because of its unique purpose, a Materials Hoist has its own set of safety regulations and procedures, which differ from those for a Personnel & Materials Hoist.
Saferight’s Materials Hoist Operation Course equips participants with the skills and knowledge to safely operate a Materials Hoist. This training covers safe loading and unloading practices, important safety regulations, and thorough pre-operational checks, all of which help minimise the risks involved in material handling.
While both types of hoists are designed to move loads vertically, there are some key differences to keep in mind when choosing the right training or career path:
Understanding these differences can help guide your career and training choices, making sure you’re prepared and compliant with safety standards.
Operating hoists without proper training can be seriously dangerous and lead to costly mistakes. Saferight’s training programs give you both the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to safely operate either a Personnel & Materials Hoist or a Materials Hoist. Each course covers the specific hazards, safety regulations, and best practices unique to each hoist type, so you’re fully prepared for the demands of your role.
Whether you’re working on a multi-level construction site moving personnel or on a standard site transporting materials, our courses ensure you’re confidently and compliantly trained for safe operation.
If you’re working in construction and want to specialise in hoist operations, it’s essential to choose the course that best fits your career goals:
Our Operate Personnel and Materials Hoist course equips you with the skills to safely transport both workers and materials around the site. This course is ideal for those working on large construction projects that require regular personnel movement across multiple levels.
If your role involves moving materials only, our Operate a Materials Hoist course provides the specialised training needed for safe and efficient material handling. This course is perfect for those working on sites focused solely on material movement, such as supply stations or low-rise construction projects.
Yes, operators are required to obtain a High Risk Work License to operate personnel and materials hoists legally in Australia. This license ensures the operator has the training and competency to operate the equipment safely.
Participants usually need to be at least 18 years old, hold a White Card (Construction Induction Card), and possess basic English literacy and numeracy skills. Some training providers may have additional requirements.
Training duration varies by provider, but most courses take about 1–3 days, including both theoretical and practical components. Some courses may offer accelerated options depending on prior experience.
Operators must follow Work Health and Safety (WHS) guidelines, including pre-operational checks, load limitations, securing loads, and using proper signaling. Regular maintenance and safety checks are also mandatory.
No, it’s illegal to operate a Personnel and Materials Hoist with an expired license. You must renew your license through the relevant authority in your state or territory, typically by completing refresher training and demonstrating continued competency.
Personnel and Materials Hoists are types of lifting equipment used on construction sites to move workers, materials, and equipment vertically. They are essential for multi-story buildings, helping with efficiency and safety in moving heavy loads.
Costs can vary widely, from approximately AUD 300 to AUD 700, depending on the training provider, location, and course duration. It’s advisable to compare providers for the best value.
For those looking to deepen their understanding of materials hoist operations, high-risk work requirements, and compliance in Australia, here are some helpful resources:

Crane operators use cranes to lift and move heavy objects at locations such as construction sites, large-scale manufacturing operations, mine sites, wharves, and other work sites. When setting up at a site, crane operators must check the condition of the ground, ensuring that it is firm and level, and for any potential obstacles, such as overhead powerlines. They must also be aware of the safe working limits of their crane, to ensure that loads are not too heavy, and that the crane’s reach is not over-extended. Crane operators often work closely with doggers, observing and following their directions to guide loads into position.
Under the WHS legislation, you must be licenced to operate cranes in Australia. A crane licence is also required if you intend to use an earthmoving machinery/mobile plant to hoist any load. Additionally, you will need to apply for a High Risk Work Licence from WorkSafe, which we can help you process.
Saferight recommends getting a nationally accredited crane ticket/qualification to ensure your team is formally trained and is fully qualified.
Licence code | Description |
CV | Vehicle loading crane with a capacity of 10 metre tonnes or more |
CN | Non slewing mobile crane with a capacity exceeding 3 tonnes |
CO | Slewing mobile crane with a capacity over 100 tonnes |
C1 | Slewing mobile crane with a capacity of 100 tonnes or less |
C6 | Slewing mobile crane with a capacity of 60 tonnes or less |
C2 | Slewing mobile crane with a capacity of 20 tonnes or less |
There are 2 main tower crane licence classes:
Franna cranes are also commonly referred to as “taxi” cranes, as they can pick up and carry heavy loads across a worksite.
Their popularity stems from their versatility and multipurpose use, which allows them to be used in a variety of settings, such as construction sites, workshops, plant sites and mines.
The Franna crane was a different design to what the construction industry was used to; it offered a similar lifting capacity to “tractor cranes” but provided far more visibility for the crane operator, with the driver’s cab located at the front of the crane.
By positioning the cab at the front of the crane, David Francis had designed a crane that did more than just lift supplies high or from side to side; the crane could be driven on every day roads to transport goods and equipment.
Franna crane company founder David Francis creatively conned the term “Franna” cranes by combining two names – his own name and the name of his daughter Anna.
A vehicle loading crane is a crane mounted on a vehicle for the purpose of loading and unloading that vehicle. Vehicle loading cranes are also commonly referred to as a ‘HIAB” crane. With the introduction of larger capacity vehicle loading cranes and proportional control (the ability to operate multiple crane functions simultaneously), they are also used for more traditional crane operations where the load is lifted.
From the vehicle to an elevated area at a workplace, for example lifting packs of timber from the vehicle directly to a building floor
Both to and from locations remote from the vehicle on which the crane is mounted, and
Into place and held while it is connected to a structure e.g. installing a sign.
According to WHS legislations, below is a summary of high-risk class work according to the individual licence class. Depending on the licence class, a crane operator can operator other cranes in different classes.

Many companies use overhead cranes to lift large and oversized structures that other material handling methods cannot handle. Overhead cranes include a railed support framework called a bridge, as well as a wheeled trolley that runs horizontally across the bridge. Another main feature of an overhead crane is the hoist, which is connected to the trolley and used to conduct the lifts. Gantry, cantilever gantry, semi-gantry, storage bridge, and wall cranes are all examples of overhead cranes.
Due to the size and weight of the items that overhead cranes raise and transport daily, regular inspections are required to ensure their continued safe operation. Before a crane may be used, it must pass an initial inspection.
Once overhead cranes are operational, they must undergo two forms of inspections:
Frequent inspection: Such inspections are conducted regularly, ranging from daily to monthly. The following items are inspected daily:
Periodic Inspections: The inspections are carried out between 1 and 12 times per year. Several features often necessitate monthly inspections or other actions:
These inspections are designed to look at the crane’s key components. This aids in determining the degree of the failure of crane parts, corrosion, or wear and tear.
SAFERIGHT offers 2 courses that are related to overhead cranes:
The Gantry Crane training course is designed for people who work or want to work in operational positions in the construction and mining industries and need to operate a crane. Students can gain the practical knowledge and understanding needed to operate an overhead/gantry crane safely and efficiently. After completing the training, students would be able to apply the standards, procedures, and techniques for completing a gantry or overhead crane operation in a secure, reliable, and efficient manner.
This Pendant Gantry Crane Ticket is for people who work with or want to work with a remote-controlled pendant gantry crane that makes fewer than three motions. Students will be able to understand certification requirements for bridge and gantry cranes, OHS legislation and regulations, safe working procedures for cranes, safe working tags on slings, crane maintenance, and more.
