What will I learn?
You'll learn how hydraulic crane systems work, including the carrier truck, boom, slewing mechanisms, and hydraulic circuits. You'll master pre-operation inspection procedures, outrigger deployment, and load chart reading for both on-rubber and on-outrigger configurations. The course covers rigging fundamentals, sling angle calculations, and hardware ratings so you can evaluate any rigged load before it leaves the ground. You'll also develop crane control techniques for precise load placement and swing management. Chapters on critical lifts, power line safety, and emergency response prepare you for the highest-risk situations on the job.
