TLILIC0022 Licence to operate a slewing mobile crane (up to 20 tonnes)

A slewing crane is equipped with a boom or jib that can be rotated horizontally, however, it does not include a front-end loader, backhoe, excavator or any other earth moving machinery when configured for the operation of a crane. A slewing crane with a capacity up to 20 tonnes can include a non-slewing mobile crane with a capacity of over 3 tonnes, a reach stacker and a vehicle loading crane with a 10 metres tonne capacity.

This course will give students the ability to plan a job, conduct before and after operational checks, set up a crane, transfer and move loads safely and finally shut down and secure the crane according to procedures. All of this will be taught by our highly skilled trainers at our onsite training facility in Brisbane. The course material will include the following;

• Hazard identification and risk control measures
• Setting up a crane
• Conducting before and after operational checks
• Transferring loads using relevant crane movements
• Load calculations
• Shut down and isolation procedures of the crane
• Capabilities and limitations of a slewing mobile crane with a capacity of 20 tonnes
• Written, verbal and visual communication methods
• WHS legislation, Australian standards and codes of practice relevant to crane activities with a capacity of 20 tonnes

On successful completion of this training, students will have the ability to conduct the following;

• Identify hazards such as overhead hazards, ground suitability, environmental conditions and traffic.
• Apply necessary control measures to reduce hazards in the workplace using the Hierarchy of Control
• Conduct routine operational checks of the crane.
• Setting up, positioning and stabilising a slewing mobile crane of up to 20 tonnes in a safe manner
• Operate a slewing mobile crane with a capacity of 20 tonnes using relevant movements such as raising and lowering the boom, slewing and telescope
• Shut down the crane and isolate faulty equipment according to site procedures
• Estimating loads using mathematical calculations
• Comply with relevant legislation, standards and site procedures regarding the operations of a slewing mobile crane with a capacity of 20 tonnes.
• Document and maintain all worksite information in a compliant way
• Communicate effectively in the workplace with co-workers and ensure appropriate communication techniques are adhered to such as two-way radios, hand signals and whistles.

The successful applicant will have the necessary skills and practical experience to safely operate a slewing mobile crane with a capacity of 20 tonnes across many worksites within Australia.

At Emerald, our highly skilled and qualified trainers will provide you with the confidence and support necessary to gain future employment in a variety of industries.

This course is a great stepping stone to up skill your training into operations with heavier tonne loads such as our C6 training and ticket in Brisbane where you have the ability to operate a slewing mobile crane with a capacity of 60 tonnes.
