From small capacity carry deck cranes up to 15-ton carry deck cranes, we can help you with your operator certification
From time to time we occasionally find ourselves being asked to provide operator certification on small carry deck cranes.
Broderson is a very well known brand of carry deck crane in the industry, there are other carry deck cranes from Grove cranes, Manitex and others, but we often see more Brodersons.
Today I had the great fun of working with a large group of millwrights and welders who will now be using the little baby Broderson IC40 to complete pump changes as well as valve and exchangers in Northern Alberta.
The crane also has a 10′ fixed jib that will be used from time to time and with that in mind, we also went over the entire rig process only to find out that the single, over-haul weight was missing.
It does come with an LMI that was working perfectly and most of the folks who attended the training had familiarity with the crane and some ran it prior.
We went over the following items:
- Pre-use inspections:
- Boom
- Boom tip
- Hook block
- Wire rope
- Electrical
- Crane body
- Tires
- Controls
- Hydraulic system components
- And much more
Even though the crane does not lift very much by comparison, it works in very tight areas where room is limited, margin of error is like any crane, nil and if the operators follow our three core fundamentals, along with good control, lift planning and their other rigging training (not by us), they have reduced their exposure to risk by a wide margin.
