An overloaded crane will tip over and fall. However, overloading a crane is almost entirely avoidable with proper planning. Lifting with cranes, gantries, and derricks is an everyday activity in maintenance and construction. As such, many contractors and owners now require lift planning for lifting activities and even analysis by a licensed engineer.

This course is an introduction to lift planning that will cover standard concepts and practices when considering cranes and rigging. A high-level overview of OSHA standards, crane selection utilizing load charts and range diagrams, and simple analysis of rigging are covered. The course also includes commonly encountered hazards and a sample lift plan for review.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Define tower crane, mobile crane, rigging, and lifting terminology.
• Identify the OSHA and ASME standards that govern cranes.
• Interpret tower crane and mobile crane charts.
• Explain the information presented in mobile crane range diagrams.
• Analyze simple rigging systems

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
