Overhead Gantry Crane Course
Overhead Gantry Cranes Types
There are two types of Training / Licencing required to operate Overhead Gantry Cranes. These are:
- Usage of Overhead Gantry Cranes with greater than 3 Pendant movements (i.e.: up, down, East, West, North, South and a rotating head) require operators to obtain the WorkSafe Licence – Class CB – Bridge & Gantry Crane Operation. For inexperienced operators, it is strongly recommended they sit a 1-2 Day training course to prepare them for the WorkSafe Assessment. Another day will also be required for the WorkSafe assessment process.
- Usage of Overhead Gantry Cranes with 3 or less pendant movements (i.e. up, down, East, West, North & South ONLY) do not require operators to obtain the WorkSafe Licence. However, In line with employer obligations Under section 21 of the OH&S Act, employers have a legal responsibility to provide instruction and training on equipment their employees are required to use, and as such, must be able to provide proof of training to meet elements of their legal obligations. A one day course is provided to satisfy this requirement. In the training we cover Equipment Operating Instruction, Safe Work Method Statements, Hazard Identification and Hazard Control. Participants are required to demonstrate competence in both theory and practical aspects of Overhead Gantry Crane operation
