Knuckle boom cranes, also known as articulated cranes or ‘picker trucks’, are a very versatile crane that are most commonly used in construction, oil and gas, industrial, and marine settings. In Canada, it is important for operators of these cranes to be properly trained in order to ensure the safety of themselves, their coworkers, and the public at large. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) states that operators of cranes and other heavy equipment must be trained and certified in accordance with the regulations set out by the province or territory in which they are working. In most cases, this includes completing a training program that covers topics such as crane components and operation, load handling, and
New for 2023 – Lower Light Crane Training Rates Are Now In Effect
We made a decision to lower our training rates for 2023 for one reason… The energy industry has been clawed back for years, now it’s ‘booming’ out there. We keep hearing and many business owners are saying the same thing: “…Our training budget has been chopped, changed or reduced!” We are here to help! The energy industry in Alberta and Saskatchewan is now crazy busy right now. We are hearing: “Yes it’s busy but we can’t find people, we can’t find people to use the equipment so we are having to change things up and train other employees that haven’t used cranes in the past”. This is a big challenge for everyone and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

Effer Light Duty Crane Operator Training in Lloydminster
Effer Light Duty Crane Operator Training in Lloydminster. We just completed a full day operator safety program and we used 2 cranes due to the high number of operators that attended.

Knuckle Boom Crane Stabilizer Pads
Are you using the correct size outrigger pads for the job? A question we ask during each of our training programs to every operator and the answer is typically the same one: “I’m using what is or was on the truck”. While it’s a fair answer, it’s not the right answer. The response I provide to them is also easy: “what type of soil conditions are you facing this day? While that seems pretty easy, the truth of the matter is also apparent and that is, these small, largely unregulated crane sizes were put together by an installation facility with little to no regard to ground conditions and it is NOT up to the installer to even put pads on
