COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and demonstration where participants carryout overhead crane operations. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using overhead crane. 

 

The course is designed to provide a proper training and certification for those involved in the safety operation of overhead cranes. It covers the bridge cranes, monorail cranes or double girder cranes, jib hoists and boom type cranes.  Participants will be given lectures and practical sessions and they will go through an inspection assignment for an overhead crane. 

 

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to perform overhead crane inspection and operation; identify the various types of overhead cranes including their features and characteristics; recognize the possible problems to look for during inspections; operate overhead crane in a safely manner and apply the correct procedures during the operation; maintain crane; use proper devices and procedures when rigging loads; carryout rigging inspection; and identify the rigging precautions when rigging a load, the preferred sling angle when lifting and how to determine load center of gravity.
