Ijanaposa Company Limited
Transport sized to the unit

A power transformer is heavy for its footprint and does not tolerate shock loading. It moves on a low-bed with the load secured and the route planned for bridge capacity, overhead clearance and turning room, under a special load permit where the dimensions need one.

Lifts that land in position

Setting a transformer on its plinth, landing switchgear in a bay, or placing a prefabricated substation building is a positioning job. Radius and ground bearing matter more than raw capacity, so we choose the crane for where it can stand.

Access for work at height on structures and lines

Stringing, fittings, insulator changes, gantry steelwork and maintenance on tall structures are safer and quicker from a boom lift or man lift than from a ladder or a tower of scaffold. On a live or partly live site, the machine and its working envelope have to suit the clearances the client sets.

Crews who have worked inside a substation

Restricted access, earthing routines, permit-to-work systems and a client engineer directing the sequence. Our operators and riggers work to your permit system and take direction from your site engineer.

Records that satisfy a utility's audit

Utilities and their contractors audit lifting gear. We keep examination certificates, sling and shackle records and daily pre-use checks, and hand them over when asked.

Compliance

The rules a power job runs under

Occupational Safety and Health Act 2006, section 75

Lifting appliances and lifting gear registered and thoroughly examined by an authorised person, with the register kept and available.

Special load permits

We get a Ministry of Works and Transport permit before the trip for loads over the permitted height, width or length.

Client permit-to-work and isolation procedures

Our crews work inside your permit system. Nothing is lifted in a substation without the site authority's release.

Lift planning

Weight, radius, ground bearing, slinging arrangement and exclusion zone set out before mobilisation, and a lift supervisor on site for the pick.

Competence

Operator, rigger and banksman certificates sent ahead for your review.
