Good Fortune or Luck Running Out?
As we celebrate the luck of the Irish this week, we can only hope that you are not relying on luck to keep your lifting operations safe. 

Education, knowledge, and experience are just a few of the items needed. The faint of heart need not apply, because safely operating a crane requires a special skill set. 

Check out this week's edition of the Hooked On Crane Tech blog for the full scoop on why relying on luck maybe unlucky.

Qualified Rigger Level 2
Our Qualified Rigger Level 2 program provides the training necessary for an employer to designate a person as qualified to work as a Level 2 rigger. Level 2 riggers are trained to perform rigging calculations, determine the correct slings and rigging gear for safe load handling and to direct a Level 1 rigger.
 
What Our Clients Say...

"Your instructor was excellent. He has a great teaching style, and it made a possibly boring subject interesting.The customized course content was just what we needed. The focus was on our cranes, our rigging, and how to safely lift our products.

The team, most of whom had no prior crane or rigging experience, just completed their first real lift, and the comment I got was that they performed like seasoned pros.

I look forward to using your service in the future and would definitely recommend Crane Tech to others."
-Donald Johnson, Staff Industrialization Engineer
