How to become an eligible crane operator?

In general, the crane operator's job consists of four parts: crane maintenance, crane setup and dismantle, job and risk assessment and lifting operation.

When we see a crane at work, all we see is a load going up and an empty hook coming down, or in reverse, an empty hook going up and a full load coming down. But the crane operator's job is much more than just lifting and downing the load or the empty hook. To get the machine into a position where it can safely perform, he needs to do a lot of complicated works.

The equipment maintenance is a job that the crane operator needs to execute frequently. Regular walk around inspections are demanded for the crane operator, in order to ensuring that nothing is showing signs of wear and tear. The operator should also make sure that that all fluid levels are right and that all movable parts receive regular lubricants.

Machine setup and dismantle is one of the most vital parts of a crane operator's job. In some way, the operator's working performance depends on how well he sets up the machine. Crane works on a theory of balance and counter balance. If the operator did not set the equipment strictly in place and well balanced, the weight of the load could tip over the machine. An illegible operator may also need to assemble some components. For example, tower crane operator will always need to assemble and disassemble various parts of their own machine.

As an ongoing activity of crane operator, the job and risk assessment needs be kept in his mind. Before starting the job, he should assess the loads that need lifting, the weight of the load, and any environmental factors such as wind. Risk assessment goes hand in hand with job assessment.

After all these preparations, the crane operator should do lifting operations by strictly following the rules. If every preparatory work is right down, the lift can be completed without problem.
