Licence to operate a slewing mobile crane (up to 60 tonnes)

About this course

This short course teaches you how to safely operate a slewing mobile crane with a boom that swings and lifts loads up to 60 tonnes. These cranes are used on construction sites, mines, docks, and other heavy-duty workplaces.

You’ll learn how to:

• plan the job and check the site
• inspect and set up the crane
• use outriggers, booms, and lifting gear
• move loads using slings and signals
• shut down and pack up the crane safely
• follow safety rules and emergency steps.

You will learn in the classroom and get hands-on practice with real equipment. You will be assessed through written tasks and practical activities.

Note: This unit does not fulfill all of the requirements for a High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) to operate this plant. Talk to your training provider for more information.
