When you enrol in our C0 slewing crane licence training program, you can expect to learn the necessary skills and knowledge to operate a slewing mobile crane with a Maximum Rated Capacity (MRC) exceeding 100 tonnes while ensuring compliance with all relevant legal obligations.
A slewing mobile crane is equipped with a rotating boom or jib that enables it to lift a load, suspend it in mid-air, and then rotate it via a rotating mechanism. Slewing cranes are typically used in building and construction to lift heavy items and materials, but they can also relocate construction equipment across work sites.
This course will teach you the skills to
- Safely operate a slewing mobile crane with a capacity exceeding 100 tonnes across various workplace environments while applying essential safety principles to different scenarios.
- Determine the appropriate slewing mobile crane based on load requirements and specific workplace conditions.
- Utilise all crane functions to their maximum capacity, including extending the boom and lifting and relocating loads within the prescribed safe working load limits.
- Evaluate ground conditions to ensure stability and safe crane operation.
- Interpret crane specifications, including load charts, to configure the crane correctly for different loads.
- Familiarise oneself with the characteristics and behaviour of the crane being operated.
- Maintain accurate crane operation records and documentation.
- Employ effective communication techniques such as whistles, hand signals, and two-way radios.
- Identify potential hazards and assess risks associated with crane operation.
- Conduct thorough pre-operational inspections and promptly identify any faults or malfunctions.
Our industry-experienced instructors will assist you throughout your learning journey and conduct assessments using various written, verbal, observation and practical demonstration methods.
