All across North America, there is legislation that provides regulation for the safe maintenance, operation and inspection of lifting machines.

We have designed some training courses to be able to equip drivers with all of the knowledge and skills considered necessary to make crane lifting easier and safer. Training the operator helps to lengthen the life of cranes by ensuring crane's high performance and safe operation.

Articulated cranes under 16,000 lbs. capacity could just be operated by operators who are accredited. Operators must be knowledgeable concerning the features and operational characteristics of the equipment. Before use, a pre-operational machine check must be carried out. There is a legal requirement to do a pre-operational inspection and an inspection of the work-site ground and overhead conditions.

The guidelines provided in the manufacturer manual gives information about inspection, maintenance, and unloading and loading operations. Based on legislation, daily and annual checks are mandatory. Operators are needed to maintain an up-to-date logbook within most regions. They might be required to validate machine warranties.

It is suggested that companies add remote control devices to their cranes. Remote control improves safety by allowing the operator an easier option for handling the crane.
