When we teach knuckle boom crane safety training programs around Western Canada, there is a very common theme among all of the business owners and operators. Over 90% of the owners tell us that they are “guessing” at the weights that they are picking up. Meaning, ALL of the operators know that the Hiab or Palfinger or what-ever model they are operating, that as the crane reaches out, once it is over-loaded, it will simply stop.

Question: Who’s Responsibility is it to make sure that the operator is trained on the equipment they work with daily? Answer: Everyone who is around the equipment. The business owner’s in many cases, has over $200,000 invested in just the truck & crane package that is servicing the Oil patch in Alberta.
