How to Use

Pre-Planning in the Office

• Prepare a Truck Plan showing truck & crane arrival/position.
• Create an Elevation or Roof‑View Plan showing where packs will go.
• Liaise with your supplier for pack weights and any insulation/roofing accessories to roll.

The goal: make the crane‑up as efficient as possible.

Risk Assessment

Complete risk‑assessment documentation.

Hold a toolbox meeting the morning of the crane‑up.

Ensure site personnel understand exclusion zone, manual‑handling risks, height hazards.

On-Site Compliance

Clip and sign‑off the safety wire before any roof rolling starts.

Super­visor or builder must inspect and approve the system per Australian standards.

Crane Location & Setup

Pre‑approve crane location with the builder.

Position truck & crane ideally at the gable end of the building for best access.

For large warehouse roofs, stage so the crane is always ahead of the area being built.

Extension Zone & Landing Platform

Once the truck releases straps and packs are free, mark an exclusion zone around the lift area.

Create a landing platform:

• First pack on the edge of the building.
• Second pack ~2‑3 m within rollout area.
• Then lift insulation into place on top of the second pack.

This ensures the wire is tight and insulation doesn’t damage the setup.

Roll-out Using Roof Rollers

• Before the third pack (the roll): check the Roller system is fully functional and lock the brake.
• When the pack is landed on Roof Rollers and unhooked from crane, roofing trades begin the roll.
• Accessories, insulation, roof‑raises, ash‑grid – everything loads directly onto the pack being rolled.
