Detailed information about this program

Focus Statement Telescopic boom crane operators will know and implement the rules and regulations set forth by ASME B30.5 and will safely apply those standards in daily operations. Operators will read, know, and apply all information provided in the manufacturer’s operator manual and will be able to interpret load charts, load testing, LMIs, and any safety instrumentation of each crane. Crane operators will know machine conditions, operational limitations, and load limitations for situations in which the operator may be involved. The operators will conduct all hoisting operations in a safe manner. Operators will be able to effectively communicate with riggers, signal persons, and other site personnel involved with hoisting operations. Overview l Three-hour closed-book examination l May use a basic function, non-printing calculator l No extra papers, books, notes or study materials are allowed l The following load charts below will be measured in this assessment (as available item content allows): l Link-Belt TCC1200 l Tadano GR-1000XL l Grove RT530E l Spydercrane URW1006 Minimum passing score is 80.

What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Load capacity calculations — determine load weights against rated lifting capacities independently using load charts on routine construction assignments.
  • Multi-control crane operation — coordinate levers, foot pedals, and dials simultaneously to move moderate loads with reduced supervisor oversight on commercial job sites.
  • Crane mechanism adjustment — identify and correct minor mechanical irregularities in crane components before and during standard lifting operations.
  • Cable replacement procedures — remove worn cables and install replacement cables on grappling devices following manufacturer specifications without direct supervision.
  • Helper crew direction — give clear instructions to ground helpers positioning outriggers and blocking to stabilize cranes during routine lifts.
  • Preventive maintenance routines — clean, lubricate, and service cables, pulleys, and grappling devices on a scheduled basis across a range of crane types.
  • Truck loading and storage bin transfers — load and unload bundled materials from trucks and reposition containers to storage areas using moving equipment on warehouse or staging sites.
  • Delivery schedule coordination — review daily work plans and sequence lifts and deliveries to meet project timelines with minimal scheduling conflicts.
  • Operational monitoring — observe gauges, indicators, and load behavior throughout a shift to detect emerging issues before they escalate.
  • Spreadsheet and office software — maintain lift logs, maintenance records, and schedule data using standard office suite applications on a job site computer.
