Construction Equipment Rental and Operator Job Information Platform Opens

Priority Service Starting with Tower Crane Sector
- Construction Machinery and Smart Safety Equipment Also by End of June

A platform that provides real-time information on construction machinery rental and operator job openings and applications will be established and operated.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 10th that it is developing the 'Construction Machinery e-Madang' (tentative name) for construction machinery rental and operator job matching, starting first with services in the tower crane sector.

Minister Won Hee-ryong emphasized, "Construction companies and tower crane rental companies will be able to freely and quickly use or hire the necessary tower cranes and operators, and operators will be able to find the desired working period and location. It is a win-win system for all."

Until now, construction machinery rentals, including tower cranes, were mainly contracted offline between construction companies and rental companies located in the region. This caused limitations in using various construction machinery in a customized manner, and especially tower crane operators sometimes had their union demand the hiring of union members by construction companies.

In response, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is building the Construction Machinery e-Madang on the Construction Safety Integrated Information Network, allowing existing registered construction companies to use the service without signing up, while construction machinery rental companies and operators can sign up to freely search and apply for rental, leasing, and operator job information via mobile phones or computers at no cost.

In the case of tower crane rentals, construction companies and rental companies each post rental and leasing information regarding tower crane specifications, work area, period, and fees. Construction companies can search rental companies' leasing information, and rental companies can search construction companies' rental information by entering desired conditions.

Tower crane operators, construction companies, rental companies, and individual operators each post job opening and application information regarding operator licenses, work areas, and experience. Construction companies and rental companies can search operators' job application information, and individual operators can search construction companies' and rental companies' job opening information.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport stated that to expand the service, it plans to gradually extend the information provision target to all construction machinery (27 types), smart safety equipment, and temporary materials by the end of June, and will continuously seek and implement various measures to ensure the construction market operates fairly and freely.
