Light Picker Training Improved in Alberta

If you have a HIAB crane or a FASSI crane, well actually any light duty knuckle boom crane and are looking for training, we have the program for you We recently completed a training program for one of our customers and thankfully we were able to provide our HIAB knuckle boom crane training INSIDE of their large well ventilated shop as it was -33 outside! If anyone tries to tell you that all you need to do is dress warmer than 4 layers of everything, well not so much. It’s tough  on cranes [and all equipment] as well as those operating them. That said, we talked with the customer about some specific needs their client needed and were able to

Broderson Carry Deck Crane Carry Deck Crane Training

  Our one day operator safety program is really designed for the new carry deck crane operator. We bring the entire day to your field location and provide the CSA and OHS updates required to ensure you have done your due diligence in providing the proper training necessary as well as your competency review of those operators.

Knuckle Boom Crane – Training Issues

So this came out in the news and yes it’s in NYC where unions run the show. But the reporter starts by saying “If they are used to do what they are meant to do” and continues on.  Now what the heck kind of statement is that! They, like any other crane are meant to “lift” stuff and if they have the capacity, stability and the right operator at the controls, they lift what they are desgined to, heavy or not. Watch the report here and you will see what I’m talking about, very poor reporting IMHO. NYC Knuckle Boom Crane So why is the news showing only “stiff boom” cranes and not articulated or knuckle boom cranes? I suspect
