We offer a 1-day, crew truck picker certification program that allows you to bring us to your location, use your crane to keep the operators familiar with the crane type, and then once they pass the exam and practical evaluation, the operators will be certified UP to the the Provincial weight restriction allowance, which I’ve outlined below for reference. Weight Restriction on Pickers by Western Province: Alberta -> Up to 8-tons in weight capacity (or 5-tons if you add or have a boom winch installed that has a 5-ton, single part line pull capacity). B.C -> Up to 5-tons in maximum lift capacity Saskatchewan -> Up to 5-tons maximum lift capacity, no boom length restriction as there is in B.C.
Understand the regulations and requirements for light duty crane safety training for operators
Do you have to use specific 3rd party crane safety training or can you do an in-house training program? Crane safety training SHOULD be an essential part of any companies overall safety and efficiency program, in any construction or industrial, or oilfield environment. Light duty cranes, known by many names like: mini crawler cranes, boom truck, pickers, service cranes, carry deck cranes, etc. are generally smaller and more versatile machines that are often used in tight spaces or for general maintenance, hotshot, plant turnarounds or more specific tasks and we find most operators don’t have any light crane safety training at all. We’re told they are easy to run, easy to figure out and the words we don’t like hearing…”I’ve
Do we need to have crane tickets in Alberta?
One Question we are asked a lot is “Do we need to have crane tickets in Alberta or B.C?” In each Province in Canada has their OHS standard take from the CSA Standard on knuckle boom cranes as well as all other crane types. It requires any business that provides these cranes for employee use in their jobs, to also provide specific training for these cranes to be used safely. There are no laws in the sense that you buy a crane and the law says you have to train, this is the confusion. When you buy any specific tool to provide to your employees, you must also provide crane training for those employees operating that crane. In this case

Do You Need Crane Training?
For Crane Training in Alberta, Saskatchewan or NWT, actually all across Canada we have a CSA “Standard” that each Province in Canada will take it’s own “standard” from to develop respective OH&S standards for. While there is no “laws” per-se as we are always asked about in many phone calls, there is the minimum standard required to provide specific training for specific tools. Did you know that OH&S officers have the power to charge you or your operator with a criminal offence if warranted. If that doesn’t get one thinking nothing truly will. A crane gets no more specific to lifting than does a Rigid 300 power thread unit to…well threading pipe, it simply doesn’t. Some of the training that
