Course Objective
The objective of this course is to train participants in periodic inspections, scheduled maintenance and preventive maintenance of cranes, as well as in the inspection of lifting equipment. The course covers performing periodic tests on cranes and lifting equipment and understanding the standards and intervals for inspections. This training is applicable across all industries and constitutes a fundamental requirement for occupational health and safety, as well as for the preventive and safety inspections of cranes and lifting devices.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to perform daily, mid-term and periodic inspections and maintenance checks. In addition to routine maintenance and inspections, safe operation (operating) and rigging procedures will also be covered.
In this course, the selection, design and ordering of overhead cranes are also taught. Learners will be able to determine the most suitable operational conditions and periodic preventive maintenance for a crane, based on the work environment, type of load handling, load class and environmental conditions.
