Being Super Craneman
One could say a good operator must have eyes in the back of their head, they must have night vision when working in dimly lit conditions, and they must be a mind reader, anticipating everyone's moves around their machine. Sounds like a good operator must have the characteristics of a superhero, but in reality it's not practical to be all things at all times.

What Our Students Say...

"This week's training was excellent. I would definitely recommend Crane Tech's courses to anyone wanting to learn more about how to operate." 
Crane Tech Tip of the Week

The wire rope sling user must perform a pre-use inspection of slings prior to each use.
 
When a wire rope sling identification tag is not legible or missing, the sling must NOT be used, regardless of the apparent condition of the sling body or components.
 
The sling should be removed from service.
