At Kavanagh Crane Hire Ltd., quality, safety, and sustainability have always been central to how we work. As Ireland’s largest fleet-owned crane hire provider, we operate across sectors like construction, renewables, and specialist engineering—making it essential that we meet the highest industry standards.
To support our continued growth and meet increasing client requirements, we set our sights on ISO certification. While we already had much of the groundwork in place, we needed expert support to implement a compliant, organisation-wide management system.
The Certification Process
We partnered with Amtivo (formerly Certification Europe) for their strong industry reputation and INAB-accreditation. Working with a consultant, we aligned our systems with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards.
Amtivo’s assessor brought both professionalism and relevant expertise, making the process smooth and confidence-inspiring. Ongoing support from the certification team also helped us address any issues quickly and effectively.
The Results
- Improved Prequalification Rates: Helped win new contracts and expand into new markets.
- Stronger Reputation: Reinforced our position as an industry leader committed to excellence.
- Client Confidence: Clients know we prioritise safety, quality, and sustainability.
- Return on Investment: Certification already delivering real value through new business wins.
In Our Words
“We received certifications for three standards, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. The overall experience was very good, mainly due to the professionalism, knowledge and expertise of the assessor. ISO certification has, without doubt, benefited us as the largest crane company in Ireland. It has won over new clients and shows all our new and existing clients that we are committed to delivering a quality service, protecting the safety of our employees and our clients, and ensuring everyone gets home safe every day to their families.”
