Cancellations occurring less than 7 days from start of on-site course are subject to 80% of the training cost.
Both of our Inspection courses cover the same classroom crane training materials and utilize the same student workbook. The four-day class is longer to allow for more hands-on training in our Lab, which is interspersed throughout the four days. We can also provide three or four-day on-site crane inspector training at your location with hands-on training available.
Courses held at a Konecranes facility include lunches, snacks, soda, water, and coffee. We try to offer a variety of lunches from local caterers including a mixture of hot and cold items, sandwiches, salads and dessert.
For most customers, 4 to 6 students are ideal for ROI for onsite crane training courses versus attending one of our regularly scheduled crane courses. Other factors to consider include scheduling, the ability to provide hands-on training, safety, and the ability of your employees to travel.
Usually if you can train more people your return on investment will be better. On-Site crane training has advantages of a lower cost per student and the course can be tailored to the specific cranes and hoists at the facility. Our regularly scheduled courses will utilize our Lab equipment for the hands-on portion.
Many of our customers find our Overhead Crane Inspection Course very helpful. This course covers the crane and hoist regulations from OSHA and ASME B30.2, as well as discusses how often cranes need to be inspected and maintained. This crane training gives a good perspective on the importance of your crane and hoist equipment.
Milwaukee rarely closes due to snow or ice. We hold classes everyday and have never cancelled a day here at the Institute due to weather. Students can take a shuttle between the airport & hotel and to the Institute each day thereby eliminating the need to drive or rent a car if snow is a concern.
Yes – each student receives a certificate of completion if they pass the written and practical exam, and demonstrate they can be an effective instructor. Students who pass are licensed to use our crane training materials for Operator Training for two years. After two years, we ask they retake the course or take a shorter refresher course to renew.
Yes, the Instructor kit includes the items listed on the attached. Also, if attending in Milwaukee or Los Angeles we include one student course kit which has 12 workbooks etc.
Yes – we offer a 3 day classroom course at customers sites although many students like to come to our facility where we have controls for troubleshooting and set up practice.
Training of your crane operators is very important, and our study has shown proper training can reduce 70% of crane incidents. There is no such thing as OSHA certification of overhead crane operators so therefore the answer is no. OSHA does require overhead crane operators to be trained, evaluated and designated.
We allow up to a 6-month grace period after your expiration. After this time, we require students to retake the 3-day course.
You have taken a good step in that direction with this class and testing. We recommend that individuals who perform crane inspections ensure that they not only know the regulations, including OSHA 1910.179, ASME B30.2, and CMAA #70, but also have hands-on experience. Further, we recommend that once a year, every facility has an outside expert take a look at its critical cranes.
