Why Do I Need Carry Deck Crane Safety Training?
In line with regulations, anyone who operates heavy equipment must receive training prior to operating the machine on their own. The 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is operating a carry deck crane similar to operating other crane types?
No, operating a carry deck crane will come with its own set of challenges. Controls between cranes can vary wildly. This is even true between cranes of the same type but of a different brand. You must always be trained for the specific machine you will be operating on the job.
What are some of the dangers of crane operations?
There are many dangers that come from operating a carry deck crane. A tipover is an obvious danger, but there are other hazards to be aware of. For instance, working near powerlines can put you at risk of electrocution. In order to stay safe, you will need to know the limits of your crane.
Can you operate a carry deck crane alone?
While there is only one operator in the cab, lifts often involve multiple people. The operator will often be assisted by a Signal Person who can help guide the load to its intended destination. By working in this way, more eyes stay on the load and less accidents occur.
