Lift plans engineered for Quebec sites
From Montréal's dense urban picks to Côte-Nord industrial corridors — engineered lift plans built on the load-path-first methodology, referencing CSA Z150 + ASME B30.5 and aligned with Quebec's construction safety framework. Sealed per applicable provincial requirements, delivered in French or English.
01 · The Quebec frame
Built for the Quebec regulatory context
A lift plan that survives a CNESST site visit is engineered inside the provincial frame from line one — not adapted to it after the fact.
Safety Code for the construction industry (CSTC)
Quebec crane work on construction sites falls under the Code de sécurité pour les travaux de construction (RLRQ c. S-2.1, r. 4). Maxor lift plans are prepared with the CSTC crane provisions in view, so the document holds up on a Quebec jobsite.
CNESST oversight
Quebec's CNESST inspects crane operations and can stop a lift on the spot. An engineered, sealed lift plan is the document that keeps the operation defensible — load path, ground bearing, rigging and contingencies, on paper before the pick.
CSA Z150 + ASME B30.5
Every Maxor plan references CSA Z150 (mobile crane safety) and ASME B30.5, applied to the actual site conditions — Quebec winters, frost-affected ground bearing, and confined urban setups included.
Sealed deliverables, in French
Plans are sealed per applicable provincial requirements and delivered in French or English — French-first documentation for Quebec crews, aligned with the Charter of the French language.

03 · Quebec sectors
The heavy industries Quebec runs on
Aluminum & smelters
Pot room and casthouse equipment picks in live plants — clearance-critical, shutdown-window driven.
Hydroelectric & energy
Turbine, transformer and penstock components — heavy, high-value, often remote access.
Mining & metals
Mill, crusher and conveyor lifts from Abitibi to the Côte-Nord — engineered for remote logistics.
Ports & marine
Montréal, Québec, Sept-Îles — quayside picks, vessel loadouts, and laydown-constrained terminals.
Petrochemical & industrial plants
Montréal-Est and Bécancour corridors — lifts near live process units, clash-checked in 3D.
Wind & renewables
Nacelle, blade and tower-section lifts — wind-window planning built into the plan, Gaspésie included.
Lift planning in Quebec — FAQ
Quebec lift plans, answered
Yes — Maxor engineers lift plans across all of Quebec : Montréal, Québec City, Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, Saguenay, and the industrial corridors (Bécancour, Sept-Îles, Côte-Nord, Abitibi). Site visits are arranged where the lift requires them; most plans start from drawings, load data, and site photos.
A sealed lift plan is generally expected for critical or complex lifts in Quebec — tandem (multi-crane) picks, lifts near structures or live plants, and wherever the site, the owner, or the provincial framework calls for engineered sign-off. Maxor seals deliverables per the applicable provincial requirements and prepares plans with the CSTC crane provisions in view.
Yes — Maxor is a Quebec-based bilingual team. Lift plans, drawings, and rigging documentation are delivered in French or English (French-first for Quebec crews), aligned with the Charter of the French language.
Same-day — emergency lift plans are delivered in 24 hours across Quebec and Ontario. A senior engineer engages on your scope within the hour; the emergency path compresses the peer review, it never skips it.
Yes — ground bearing pressure is evaluated against the actual site conditions, including frost-affected or thaw-weakened ground, matting strategy, and Quebec winter wind windows. The plan reflects the season the lift happens in, not a generic assumption.
