Bringing Rigging to Life
Look what's in the January edition of Crane Hotline. Our three new rigging frames are the focus of the Spotlight Rigging feature. The I-beam, Y-pipe, and adjustable rectangular frame are just a few of the tools that we use for hands-on exercises to create moments of discovery for Qualified Rigging Level 2 students.

Want to learn more about how these apparatuses create 'ah-ha' moments and help bring rigging concepts to life?

Crane Tech Tip of the Week

Crane Tech recommends a dedicated spotter be used when an operator cannot see an area for clearance, such as when setting outriggers, extending counterweights, or moving in a confined area. 
 
Spotters should meet the qualifications for a Qualified Signal Person. When acting in the capacity as the Spotter, they should NOT be encumbered with ANY other duties. 
What Our Clients Say...

"Your instructor was on his game. It was a very nice class and training;
I really enjoyed it."
