In this 3-day crane training course, students will learn how to perform electrical inspections and preventive maintenance procedures.
Pickwick MFG Brian T.Lots of good information, excellent hand book.
REC Silicon Phil H.(What I liked most about the seminar was…) It makes you think before you make a lift
Northrop Grumman Danny M.(What I liked most about the seminar was…) The angle of slings.
OSHA Dan C.I thought that having access to crane equipment in the lab was very helpful in learning materials covered in the course. I look forward to taking additional courses
here, and I will recommend this course to my co-workers.
Buzzi-Unicem Matthew B.(What I liked most about the seminar was...) Their suggestions. Many of the
suggestions they had would help but they must be implemented.
This crane training course highlights electrical maintenance procedures for all types of A.C. crane controls including A.C. full magnetic, stepless and adjustable frequency drives. This crane course is considered the basic orientation to electrical maintenance.
