HIAB Crane Training Would have prevented this
We understand and recognize that HIAB cranes are one of the more popular brand of ‘pickers’ in the market for good reason. Our training does not recognize one brand over another, it recognizes that ALL brands of knuckle boom cranes are good, it becomes the operator who starts to take chances running the crane improperly, whether it’s in the Alberta Oil patch, Saskatchewan’s Potash Mines or any other area where knuckle pickers have proven themselves to be the right product for the application.
In the past, companies relied on the crane dealer to do a ‘hand-over’ to the end user, showing them the basics on the knuckle boom crane. It was mainly by sheer luck on the part of the operator that the crane didn’t tip over or worse, hit something it should not have, like the photo shows, this crane operator sadly can’t tell us why he put his crane in this situation, he was killed when the crane came into contact with overhead power lines.
The 1-day training we provide is on-site, not specific to HIAB cranes alone, we instruct on ALL brands of knuckle boom (folding) cranes such as: HIAB, PALFINGER, EFFER, FASSI, etc. We help you protect your most costly investment, your operators, and the crane truck from doing things you don’t want happening.
