Crane operators work in various areas. These include production facilities and halls as well as storage yards, ports or train stations. Their job is to control, operate, maintain and service cranes.
The crane certificate remains valid indefinitely. However, annual instruction is recommended. In the event of changes to the operating conditions, appropriate instruction must be given. This applies, for example, to changes in the type of crane, passenger transport, control system, place of use, etc.
According to §4 of DGUV Regulation 1, companies must instruct their crane operators at least once a year about the dangers and the possibilities for accident prevention.
Practical training on the crane takes place with various exercises. Particular attention is paid to the sensitive lifting and setting down of loads in a stable center of gravity position. But also the driving with loads and the interception of swinging loads are trained in detail. In addition to slinging loads, special activities such as working with a personnel transport cage are also taught. In this way, the trainees can already acquire important knowledge during their training and are thus well prepared for their later work.
The employers’ liability insurance association requires a theoretical and practical examination to become a crane operator or to be allowed to operate a crane. After successfully passing the exam, the crane certificate is issued. A minimum age of 18 years is required to participate in the training. In addition, the employer must confirm physical fitness.
If you already work for a company that uses cranes, that’s a good place to start. You can arrange with your supervisors to have them cover the cost for you.
If you are currently looking for work or want to change jobs, the employment agency may be able to help you obtain a crane certificate. Often, such training measures are covered by the employment agency or the job center.
Otherwise, you can of course finance the crane training yourself.
The crane training takes place at your site. This means that you do not need to schedule any travel time for your employees. We train your employees in your warehouse with your cranes. This way, we ensure that the training is maximally relevant to practice.
High demands and expectations are placed on crane operators. The dangers associated with improper operation of cranes are enormous. In the worst case, errors in lifting heavy loads can even claim human lives, and this must be avoided at all costs. Therefore, crane operator training in the form of instruction is absolutely essential.
The regulations of the employers’ liability insurance associations stipulate that crane operators must have proof of training with theoretical and practical examinations. A crane certificate is therefore mandatory for working as a crane operator. The aim of crane operator training is to teach safe and reliable handling of cranes.
