Lift plans engineered for Ontario sites
From GTA tower cranes threading live corridors to Sarnia's process units and Sudbury's mills — engineered lift plans built on the load-path-first methodology, referencing CSA Z150 + ASME B30.5 and prepared with Ontario's construction regulation in view. Sealed per applicable provincial requirements.
01 · The Ontario frame
Built for the Ontario regulatory context
Ontario's construction regulation is explicit about engineered documents for crane work. A Maxor plan is engineered inside that frame from line one.
OHSA + O. Reg. 213/91 (Construction Projects)
Crane work on Ontario construction projects falls under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and O. Reg. 213/91, which calls for engineered documents in defined crane situations. Maxor lift plans are prepared with those provisions in view, so the document answers the question before an inspector asks it.
MLITSD inspections
Ontario's Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development inspects crane operations and can issue stop-work orders. An engineered, sealed lift plan — load path, ground bearing, rigging, contingencies — is the document that keeps the lift defensible.
CSA Z150 + ASME B30.5
Every Maxor plan references CSA Z150 (mobile crane safety) and ASME B30.5, applied to actual Ontario site conditions — congested GTA setups, live-plant clearances, and freeze-thaw ground bearing included.
Sealed deliverables, peer-reviewed
Plans are sealed per applicable provincial requirements and peer-reviewed before issue — no plan ships without a second engineer's review, emergency turnaround included.

03 · Ontario sectors
The heavy industries Ontario runs on
Energy & nuclear-adjacent industry
Heavy components for Ontario's power sector — high-value, schedule-critical, documentation-heavy lifts.
Steel & metals
Hamilton's steel corridor — mill equipment picks in live plants with hard clearance constraints.
Petrochemical
Sarnia's chemical valley — lifts near live process units, clash-checked in 3D before mobilization.
Mining
Sudbury, Timmins and the northern belt — mill, hoist and conveyor lifts engineered for remote logistics.
Infrastructure & transit
GTA and Ottawa megaprojects — girder picks, station boxes, and night-window urban lifts.
Automotive & manufacturing
Press lines, robots and plant retooling — shutdown-window lifts where every hour is costed.
Lift planning in Ontario — FAQ
Ontario lift plans, answered
Yes — Maxor engineers lift plans across all of Ontario : Toronto and the GTA, Ottawa, Hamilton, Mississauga, London, Windsor, Kitchener-Waterloo, Sudbury, Sarnia, Thunder Bay, Kingston, and Timmins. Most plans start from drawings, load data, and site photos; site visits are arranged where the lift requires them.
Ontario's O. Reg. 213/91 (Construction Projects) under the OHSA calls for engineered documents in defined crane situations, and owners or constructors frequently require an engineered lift plan beyond the regulatory minimum. Maxor prepares lift plans with those provisions in view and seals deliverables per applicable provincial requirements.
Same-day — emergency lift plans are delivered in 24 hours across Ontario and Quebec. A senior engineer engages on your scope within the hour; the emergency path compresses the peer review, it never skips it.
Yes — from a single pick to multi-crane tandem operations (up to 8 cranes via the CRANEbee platform), with 3D clash detection and real-time ground-bearing-pressure analysis on Ontario site conditions.
Yes — Maxor works alongside crane rental companies, riggers, and general contractors as the engineering layer : we produce the sealed lift plan and rigging documentation your crews and the site owner sign off on, without competing for the crane or rigging scope itself.
