How we source every figure

Every figure has a row

Each regulated value, rate, statistic and date on the site comes from a research row: the claim, the value, the jurisdiction, the source title and address, the publisher and the date it was read. Pages cite those rows with numbered footnotes, and the build refuses a page that cites a row that does not exist. The rows on the site were checked on 2026-10-06.

Rates

• Every rate says whether the operator is included (operated) or not (bare), and names its edition.
• Published rates are benchmarks for public works, not quotes. We never subtract one source's rate from another.
• Draft schedules are labelled as drafts. We do not publish rates taken from companies' own websites.
• Capacity classes are quoted in each source's own unit. A "ton" class is never converted to tonnes unless the source says which ton.

Rules and law

Safety, legal and tax pages summarize the source and say so. They are general information, not advice. Where we did not research a jurisdiction or a rule, the page says that plainly instead of borrowing a neighbour's rule.

Non-Canadian references

A few engineering explanations draw on Australian, New Zealand or United States sources where no Canadian source publishes the same detail. Each is labelled "non-Canadian reference" where it appears and never sets a Canadian requirement.

No brands, no companies

Pages do not name crane makers, dealers or rental companies, and do not compare brands. Public bodies and associations are named only where their rules or rates are cited.

Illustrations

Load-chart drawings and the interactive boom model are illustrative. They show the shape every chart shares and never replace the manufacturer's chart for the actual truck.

Corrections

If a rule, rate or link is wrong or out of date, write to info@repyyc.com. We fix errors and date the change.
