Regardless of the type of crane, improper operation and a lack of knowledge of a crane entail considerable risks of personal injury and property damage. The employers' liability insurance association therefore stipulates that every crane operator must complete training with a theoretical and practical examination.

Extract of the contents:

• Legal regulations & requirements of the employers' liability insurance association
• Accident-prevention regulations, operating instructions, safety rules
• Types, assemblies and safety devices of cranes
• Personal protective equipment
• Handling loads, working with load charts
• Principles of slinging and hand signals
• Requirements for crane acceptance/crane inspection
• Care and maintenance, visual inspections and function checks
• Behaviour in the event of malfunctions
• Practical part
• Theory examination and individual practical test

You will receive the theoretical training in our own training rooms from our specialist staff and external specialised lecturers.

The training usually lasts one day. For comprehensive complete training courses, e.g. for telehandlers, it can take 3–5 days depending on prior knowledge until the necessary knowledge can be imparted. Bear in mind that telehandlers are real all-rounders, i.e. they are a forklift, construction machine, crane and mobile elevating work platform in one. For very large groups we can also offer in-house training on request, although it is more advantageous to use our modern and extensive fleet on site. The training courses in the areas of aerial work platforms, forklifts, telehandlers & cranes conclude with a theoretical and practical examination. Afterwards, your employees receive the relevant training documents, certificates and operator licences.
