Course Overview
This unit provides the participant the skills and knowledge required to perform non slewing mobile crane operations safely, focussing on the use of slinging techniques, and positive communication with the plant operator to move a load, when it’s out of the operator’s view.
On successful completion of this course, participants will be able to apply for a High-Risk Work Non-Slew Mobile Crane (CN) Licence. There are costs associated with applying for the licence. Please visit www.worksafe.qld.gov.au for current licence fees.
Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to operate a non-slewing mobile crane with a Maximum Rated Capacity (MRC) exceeding 3 tonnes safely, in accordance with all relevant legislative responsibilities. Competence in this unit, does not in itself result in a High-Risk Work Licence (HRWL) to operate this plant.
Non-slewing mobile crane means a mobile crane incorporating a boom or jib that cannot be slewed, and includes:
- An articulated mobile crane
- A locomotive crane
- But does NOT include vehicle tow trucks.
A person performing this work is required to hold a non-slewing mobile crane HRWL.
