For Crane Hire & Heavy Lift Contractors

Unbilled hours and lost dockets eat margins

Running a multi-million dollar fleet on whiteboards and carbon copies means chaos, payroll headaches and late invoices.

The Old Way

Lost Dockets: missing or thin dockets lead to disputes over travel and wind-offs.

Dispatch Blind Spots: matching operators to crane class and cross-hiring by hand.

Payroll Friction: days spent working out EBA rules, travel and penalties from handwritten sheets.

Asset & NHVR Risk: pre-starts skipped or weeks late, risking fines and missed servicing.

Cloudcon, tailored to you

Verified Digital Dockets: exact times, automatic minimums and client e-signatures, synced to the office instantly.

Smart Dispatch: flags expired HRWL tickets (CN, CO, RI) and tracks cross-hire alongside your fleet.

Automated Award Interpretation: field hours flow into the award engine for travel, overtime and EBA rules.

Mandatory Pre-Starts: no docket until the crane’s pre-start is in, and defects go straight to maintenance.

Engineered for dispatch, operators, and payroll

Tailored to how wet and dry crane hire really runs.

Smart Dispatch & Cross-Hire Control

Ditch the whiteboard. Drag and drop cranes, operators, and riggers onto jobs. The system auto-verifies High-Risk Work Licences (HRWL) and lets you dispatch cross-hire alongside your own fleet.

Digital Dockets & Client Sign-Off

Stop leaving money on the table. Capture exact travel time, minimum hires, wind-offs, and consumables on digital dockets. Secure sign-on-glass client approvals before the crane even packs up.

NHVR Pre-Starts & Maintenance

Protect your heavy assets. Enforce NHVR-compliant digital pre-starts that trigger instant defect alerts to maintenance, building a complete service history for your 10-year major inspections.

Automated EBA Award Interpretation

Crane payroll is uniquely complex. Our award engine automates union rules, travel allowances, and overtime straight from the digital docket - feeding clean data directly to your accounting system.

FAQs

Does the digital docket handle minimum hire times and weather delays?

Absolutely. You can configure minimum hire rules (e.g., 4-hour minimums), travel times, and specific codes for wind-offs or weather delays. Operators log their actual hours, and the system automatically calculates the correct billable amounts for the client to sign off on.

Can we track High-Risk Work Licences (HRWL) and expirations?

Yes. The platform centralises all operator and rigger tickets (e.g., CO, CN, RI, DG). Dispatch is instantly alerted if a ticket is expiring, and the system can flag an operator if they are assigned to a crane they are not certified to operate.

Does the field app work offline for remote or basement lifts?

Yes. Cloudcon features a native offline engine. Crane crews can complete pre-starts, view SWMS, and capture signed dockets in complete data blackspots. The docket auto-syncs securely to dispatch the moment the device reconnects to a network.

Can Cloudcon handle complex EBA and award payroll rules?

Yes. Cloudcon includes a native award interpreter built for the complexities of the construction and crane sectors. It automates travel allowances, overtime penalties, and specific EBA rules, pushing clean, reconciled data to your payroll system.
