TLILIC0023 Licence to operate a slewing mobile crane (up to 60 tonnes)

A Slewing mobile crane is equipped with a boom and can have various lifting gear attached such as ropes, chains and sheaves. Its main purpose is to raise and lower loads in a horizontal plane around its axis. It does not include front end loader, excavator, backhoe or alternative earth moving machinery when configured for the operation of a crane.

This training will allow students to plan a job, perform before and after operational checks, set up a crane in a safe manner, transfer and move loads and finally shut down and secure a crane with a capacity of up to 60 tonnes according to site procedures.
