1-Day (Extended) Course on
PPVC Lifting Course for Crane Operators
Code 44084 - Crawler Crane
Code 44085 - Truck-mounted Mobile Crane
Code 44086 - Saddle-jib Tower Crane
INTRODUCTION
Recently construction sites had started using Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric
Construction (PPVC) in building construction to improve productivity. The components
used in PPVC are much heavier and bulky. To lift such components using cranes, the
crane operators need to handle the components (loads) more carefully and position them accurately at specified location points mostly with the help of signalmen’s walkie-talkie communications as the crane operators are unable to see the locations points due to large size of the PPVC components.
