Train with our 8 Cranes for your Next Crane Licence
We strive to offer the highest quality high risk work licence training on the Gold Coast and surrounding south east Queensland. To do that, (in part) we believe you need to have experience of operating the sometimes many crane types that encompass crane operator licences. Our ‘Old Faithful’ 3T truck mounted slew crane is very different to operating our 50T lattice boom crawler crane (AKA ‘Black Betty’). But hey, train with one type of crane to get yourself a C6 crane ticket and you’re ready to operate anything right?! Wrong!
4 Things to Consider when Operating a Crawler Crane
Our operating a crawler crane considerations in a nutshell:
1. Allow adequate slew clearances from hazards.
2. Don’t rely on any hoist/luff limits
3. Operate mobile cranes in a controlled manner as per the crane manufacturer’s specifications
4. Control risks when mobiling ie. Swinging load/hook, in motion forces, mobiling within specification
