  • Overhead Cranes are mechanical lifting machines and therefore fall under the Occupational Health and Safety Act which states that the employer, user or manager should ensure that the legal requirements regarding the safe use of lifting machinery are complied with.
  • They are electrically driven machines that are used to lift and move a load. They are manufactured in different sizes to lift different capacities. These cranes are classified as follows:
    • Radio controlled (code 30)
    • Pendant controlled (code 30)
    • Remote controlled (code 30)
    • Cabin controlled (code 31)
  • The operator of a pendant or radio controlled crane is responsible for slinging the load to be lifted. The operator of a cabin controlled crane is not in a position to sling a load himself and therefore normally have helpers on the ground.
  • This course aim to provide the learner with the required knowledge and skills to operate and work with the crane in the safest and most competent way possible.
