Apply for an Over Sailing Crane Licence
Skip to:
A licence is required for cranes that move over the highway, sometimes called over sailing.
Cost
The minimum licence period is 3 months. Once the licence has expired you will be required to apply for a new licence should you require longer than 3 months.
Visit Highways fees and charges for details on all costs.
How long the application takes
Once you have made an advance payment and supplied the required documents, we can start the application process, which typically takes between 6 to 10 weeks.
You should not operate your crane/s until you have your licence.
How to apply
Please note that you must complete your application in one go. If you fail to complete it in one go, the form will time out and we may not review it. You may still be charged.
A failure to complete in one go will result in a delay with your application as we will not receive confirmation and be unaware that you have submitted until we are chased for an update.
