All-Terrain Crane Training & Certification

Our All-Terrain Crane safety training course is OSHA Aligned, and our online version fulfills OSHA’s classroom training requirement. Each class contains sections on anatomy and components, stability principles, rigging considerations, safe operations, common hazards, and more.

In this training, we look at the anatomy and functions of all-terrain cranes in general, focusing on components examined during pre-shift inspections. We also discuss crane operation and stability principles, addressing why you should know your truck’s capabilities and work within those limits. We will also teach you about load charts and how to properly utilize them.

In line with regulations, anyone who operates all-terrain cranes must receive training prior to operating on their own. Requirements for refresher training related to forklifts or other processes are very specific. Most other equipment doesn’t have such specific requirements, but it’s wise to follow the same guidelines.

When it comes to refresher training, the standards in some instances (like forklifts) are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.
