Super Craneman vs. Safe Craneman
In order to be a Super Craneman one must assume that the operator must also be a safe craneman. But super heroes don't leave things to chance, they observe, they prepare and they take action. However if no specific emphasis is placed on safety then are you just leaving safety to chance?

What Our Students Say...

"I would like to thank you for having me at your Rigger Level 1 class. I learned a tremendous amount of information and I'm looking forward to attending other classes. Your instructor did a fantastic job training the class. I was impressed with his vast knowledge of rigging. Thanks again for the hospitality."
Crane Tech Tip of the Week

Articulating boom cranes (aka knuckle boom cranes) are becoming more and more popular
They often incorporate attachments that deduct from the chart capacity, such as:
  • Pallet forks
  • Rotators
  • Drywall Forks
  • Clam Buckets
  • Grapples
When lifting, it's important to remember that in addition to the actual load weight, you must consider the weight of all rigging gear and any attachments.
