1. Energy Safe Victoria, No Go Zones — working around energy assets: The Victorian rules that decide how any of this work is planned. The No Go Zone sets minimum distances from overhead powerlines and poles, and where work falls inside them the asset owner has to be involved before it starts. It is the framework an insulated machine exists to work within, not a substitute for it.
2. Energy Safe Victoria, Keeping tree industry workers safe around powerlines: Energy Safe’s guidance written specifically for tree work. It states that “Energy Safe recommends private tree contractors maintain the No Go Zone 3m exclusion zone”, and that you should “discuss job safety with the local electricity distributor before starting work. You are required to notify them when working near their powerlines.” This is why we ask what you are working near before we quote a machine.
3. Standards Australia, AS 1418.10 — Cranes, hoists and winches: elevating work platforms: The design standard every elevating work platform in the country is built and rated to, including the insulation requirements. It matters more than it sounds: the edition a machine was designed to determines what insulation it was required to have, so an older unit and a newer one can carry genuinely different ratings.
4. Standards Australia, AS 2550.10 — Cranes, hoists and winches: safe use of elevating work platforms: The companion standard covering safe use rather than design — inspection and maintenance intervals, operator requirements, and the periodic major inspection regime. It is the document behind our own service schedule.
5. WorkSafe Victoria, Elevating work platforms: The Victorian regulator’s guidance on selecting, setting up and operating an EWP, including ground conditions and stabilisation, the duties that sit with the person controlling the workplace, and the licensing position for boom lengths over 11 metres.
6. Safe Work Australia, Model Code of Practice — Managing the risks of plant in the workplace: The national code covering plant hire specifically: what the person supplying the plant has to do about inspection, maintenance records and providing information to the hirer. It is the reason the test certificates travel with our machines rather than staying in the office.

Specifications are the manufacturer’s published figures for the model. The figures for the machine you hire are the ones on its own compliance plate, which we will confirm for you.
