Picker Stability is it part of Picker Safety Training? So from time to time we get sent some great photos of knuckle boom cranes we look at and from a pure picker safety training perspective, would NEVER give out as being Okay to do in your day to day. However this picture shows a crane with the flip-over stabilizers and in this case where the operator requires full stability but is not able to do so were the leg in the standard position. So what does one do then? IN this case, while many look and say no way, the operator has placed the pads underneath the part of the stabilizer beam, just under the leg itself to be used
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,

HIAB is a well known brand and all the other manufactures in Alberta have been fighting for market share against HIAB for a long time. Palfinger is likely the second most recognized brand in our provinces as over the past few years the dealers have done a fantastic job of growing their market share accordingly. HIAB picker trucks are most commonly cranes installed either behind the cab (BOC), or mid-mount behind a vertical tool box, usually called
Hy-Rail Railway Crane Training Program
In spite of the ability to ride the rails, these knuckle boom cranes can actually be more dangerous. The ONE most critical issue with cranes that we promote – STABILITY– and once you have this ingrained into the operator, the rest comes easier. HOWEVER…what we find is that with Hy-Rail Crane Trucks primarily, that while sitting on the tracks, the issue is the ground around the rail lines slopes downward at an angle, making it very difficult to use the outriggers properly and get a good, stable working platform. Many companies are “used to” this and simply use short reach cranes (less than 25′ – see photo below) to offset the reduced stability, good practice but makes it very challenging
Crane Training In Calgary – Knuckle Boom Cranes Under 16,000 Pounds
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. That does not include the tools and many other aspects I’ve not mentioned. So when you hire an operator, why then would you send him out without the proper foundation? Many oil companies are now recommending they have our 1-day crane operation certification as part of the criteria.
