ABOUT US

We’re Norms Electrical and Mechanical Services, a tight-knit team that keeps cranes, hoists and heavy machinery running safely and reliably. From older “dinosaur” cranes to the latest inverter-driven systems, we service, repair, modernise and recertify to AS 1418 and AS/NZS 2550, without the corporate runaround. 

Word-of-mouth built this business. Straight answers keep it that way. 

Services at a Glance 

We specialise in overhead lifting and industrial maintenance, overhead/gantry cranes, jib cranes, monorails & workstation cranes; electric chain and wire rope hoists; control systems (VFDs, remotes, anticollision); inspections & load testing; modernisations; and fabrication/installation of runways and custom steel. And we do it safely first: SWMS/JSA every job, lockout–tagout and permits, calibrated test gear and clear documentation. If it lifts, runs or keeps production moving, we maintain and certify it to AS 1418 / AS/NZS 2550 (and electrical to AS/NZS 3000).*
