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

Drayton Valley Knuckle Picker Training

So you need to have H2S, Maybe confined space, first aid for sure and then ground disturbance, UTV/ATV training but yet, one of the items used by some companies the most, don’t have any picker training done as it’s not required! So is UTV/ATV necessary?  When was the last time you experienced an H2S release?  Last time you went into a confined space area?  But unless you are forced to get a picker safety ticket it ain’t gonna happen right? Do you know how much your crane can lift?  How high?  How Far, How Stable, Which areas are least/most stable?  You starting to see the picture? So, there is a saying, don’t make it about the money or you won’t

HIAB Light Duty Knuckle Picker Training

We often get to see some of the most unique crane applications there are when we do our HIAB picker training.  This one isn’t of a unit in North America, but I wish it was! The unit was designed in NL and not only was it installed on a non-traditional chassis, it’s a combination of tractor, combine chassis and all-terrain vehicle.  The crane is a Palfinger crane with a jib attached for added versatility. The downside to this is portability.  You simply can’t drive it down the roadway, it has to be transported on a truck/trailer combination, but I still think it’s one of the coolest picker units i’ve seen.  I’m not sure of the cost to build this unit,
