Detailed information about this program
Focus Statement Telescopic boom crane operators will know and implement the rules and regulations set forth by ASME B30.5 and will safely apply those standards in daily operations. Operators will read, know, and apply all information provided in the manufacturer’s operator manual and will be able to interpret load charts, load testing, LMIs, and any safety instrumentation of each crane. Crane operators will know machine conditions, operational limitations, and load limitations for situations in which the operator may be involved. The operators will conduct all hoisting operations in a safe manner. Operators will be able to effectively communicate with riggers, signal persons, and other site personnel involved with hoisting operations. Overview l Three-hour closed-book examination l May use a basic function, non-printing calculator l No extra papers, books, notes or study materials are allowed l The following load charts below will be measured in this assessment (as available item content allows): l Link-Belt TCC1200 l Tadano GR-1000XL l Grove RT530E l Spydercrane URW1006 Minimum passing score is 80.
