We have been serving the Northern Alberta region for the past 7 years with our light duty picker safety training as well as the carry deck cranes, mechanic corner mount service cranes (see photos below) and our high voltage powerline warning systems. If your crane falls under the threshold for needing a “ticketed” operator at the controls and you are not sure what other types of training there is for him or her, we are it. The “threshold” in Alberta is 8-tons (knuckle boom crane) or IF your picker comes with a winch that capacity drops to 5-ton winch capacity (single line pull capability). If you are not sure, give us a call with the model of your crane and
Saskatchewan Light Duty Picker Safety Training
There is much confusion surrounding the picker requirements in Saskatchewan. While I admit I have had a few conversations that have been confusing myself, it boils down to small pickers you see on the 1-ton trucks (see photo below), are considered “Power Mobile Equipment” and that as long as you don’t exceed 5.5 tons in lift capacity, you do need a certificate but NOT be in the Boom truck “B” program with the Saskatchewan Boom Truck Trade program. We provide our On site Light duty picker training (certification) throughout Saskatchewan with instructors located in North Battleford and Regina. The program overview is as follows: 1 day in duration (morning is theory, afternoon is the practical testing) We use your picker
COVID19 – Training Cancellations
Due to the pandemic of Covid-19, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel all training classes for the next 3 weeks or longer. Once the governments across Canada have given the all clear to resume business, group settings, etc, we will then announce this to our customers. I will everyone the very best in this very trying time we are experiencing, God speed to us all!

Do You Need Crane Training?
For Crane Training in Alberta, Saskatchewan or NWT, actually all across Canada we have a CSA “Standard” that each Province in Canada will take it’s own “standard” from to develop respective OH&S standards for. While there is no “laws” per-se as we are always asked about in many phone calls, there is the minimum standard required to provide specific training for specific tools. Did you know that OH&S officers have the power to charge you or your operator with a criminal offence if warranted. If that doesn’t get one thinking nothing truly will. A crane gets no more specific to lifting than does a Rigid 300 power thread unit to…well threading pipe, it simply doesn’t. Some of the training that
HIAB Type Crane Training Program
When it comes to your HIAB picker safety training, why not go with the ones who have been trained by HIAB as well as Palfinger. We’ve been to both factories, one in Perrysburg, U.S.A and the other in Salzburg, Austria. The course we went on was for more advanced in terms of time and materials by comparison. We were there for 5 full days in each location and more, so one of the reasons when asked if we have a 1/2 day training, we do but it’s more a safety walk around than a “training” program. Light picker training is generally regarded as unnecessary and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Like all training you take, it’s up to
1-Day Light Duty Oilfield Picker Certification
Our one-day light duty oilfield picker certification training course covers all sizes of light duty cranes and boom trucks that do NOT fall under the provincial apprenticeship program for Cranes and Hoisting Equipment Operator. Basically if your crane can’t lift 8-tons up close on the load chart, our training will work for your compliance. See our FAQ page for more details or click HERE for all of the details. Edmonton picker training is something we have been doing for the past 8 years and many of our customers keep coming back as our program has evolved over that time to reflect changes from CSA.
