Edmonton Knuckle Boom Operator Training

It’s a great day when you get to work with some of the best customers and the best cranes in the Edmonton and area marketplace. Training operators to be even safer in our humble opinion is as good as it gets.  There are choices to be sure, some are very low priced training companies that are simply giving what OHS is suggesting, we don’t for a minute believe that.  In fact we go above and well beyond, we bring our 24 years of knuckle boom crane experience to your doorstep.  Yes we are more, but you get “from the factory” information, not some stuff that was picked up here and there.  Propane companies realize the capability of knuckle boom cranes

Reading and Understanding Crane Load Charts

I recently posted a brief summary on how to read load charts on Linkedin.  You can see it HERE. However I did not go into great detail on how to read knuckle boom crane load charts, I simply went over the “other” information that they provided. So ill go into greater detail, but still in short form here so that that there is greater clarity.  Because we specialize in light duty knuckle crane training, the information applies directly to that type of crane.

Picker Truck Operator Training

There comes a time when handing the keys of a $150,000 and up oilfield service truck has to send shivers down the spine of owner who had to hire based on availability. We don’t just ask you to bring a 4′ level to the training, what for?  There is NO way you can level any picker truck unless the ground is flat.  How many times I hear this makes it even more clear, there are those teaching this program who have no idea what they are doing.  When you have one set of outriggers, how do you expect to have a level vehicle?  it’s much like letting most of the air out of the driver side tires and expecting the

Does Your Company Need Crane Training?

I get asked this question many times over and the answer hasn’t changed.  There are (at the time of this update), no Provincial requirements that mandate your company to take the awareness program we provide. All knuckle boom instruction is voluntary only.  If you are told by anyone who sells cranes that you are required to have training of any sort (particularity in Saskatchewan), I would ask them to provide you with Provincially mandated proof! I get someone wants to sell you a training program, we will never “Lie” to you or mis-lead you in any way.  You either want the program as part of your pro-active COR or safety recognition program, or you don’t. Suffice it to say, good
