People Profile
Steve Smith
Steve Smith is the Managing Director of Crane Safety Products, a company established in 2014 with the vision and drive to improve safety throughout Australia and the South Pacific. We caught up with Steve to learn more about how the right products can ensure safety isn’t compromised on site.
Steve, tell us a little more about your current role and how that came about? I am currently the Managing Director of Crane Safety Products (CSP) – a one stop industrial and safety product supplier to the lifting and crane markets. We provide solutions that meet customers’ needs, taking the stress out of finding the right product for their applications. We found that there was no one set supplier in the marketplace that offered a large range of products with quality at the centre of everything. That motivated me to establish CSP with the best brands in the market. 38

Steve Smith Managing Director, Crane Safety Products
How important do you think quality products are in relation to crane safety? We see the quality of a product as essential to safety in the crane industry. Whether you’re a crane owner, operator, rigger, or site supervisor, knowing that you can rely on the quality, durability, and efficiency of a product is paramount.
Too often we see cheap alternatives that don’t perform or last, leading to safety issues and downtime.
