Turnkey Services for Tower CranesTower Cranes
In 2024 and 2025, major changes to Ontario tower crane safety regulations (O.Reg.213/91) took effect.
The new regulations require significantly more inspections and greater engineering oversight to certify that a tower crane is safe to use.
As a long-time leader in crane inspection and certification, Industrial Inspection & Analysis (IIA) and our Kova Engineering subsidiary are well equipped to help you navigate changing regulations and remain in compliance — now and in the future.
