Operating a crane is a complex and potentially dangerous task that requires specialized training and certification. The following is a general overview of the steps involved in operating a crane, however, we strongly recommend contacting professionals, like us at Wisdom Crane LLC!
TRAINING AND CERTIFICATIONS
Before operating a crane, it is essential to receive proper training and certification. Different types of cranes require different certifications, and it is important to obtain the appropriate certification for the specific crane you will be operating.

ALWAYS PERFORM A PRE-OPERATIONAL INSPECTION
Before using the crane, perform a thorough inspection of the crane and all its components to ensure that everything is in good working order. Check for any signs of damage, leaks, or malfunctions. It is important to maintain clear communication with the ground crew at all times as well. Use hand signals or a two-way radio to communicate with the crew and ensure that everyone is aware of what is happening. Safety is the number one priority!
CHECK THE LOAD CAPACITY AND PLAN THE LIFT
Before lifting any load, ensure that the crane’s load capacity is sufficient for the weight of the load. Check the load charts and make sure the crane is positioned properly. Plan the lift carefully, taking into account the weight and size of the load, the height of the lift, and any obstacles or obstructions in the area. Ensure that the crane is positioned properly and that the rigging is secure.
JUST ASK THE EXPERTS
Remember that crane operation is a specialized skill that requires training, experience, and caution. Always follow safety procedures and regulations, and never operate a crane if you are not properly trained and certified.
