Mobile Crane (Truck Mounted) Operation
An 86-hour course that leads to a Certificate of Successful Completion required by MOM for registration to be a mobile crane operator
OVERVIEW
Truck mounted mobile cranes are widely used on construction sites ranging from small housing projects to multi-million dollar ones. Such cranes are available in a wide range of sizes to suit different hoisting needs. Because of their ability to handle large loads and their ease of mobility, such cranes pose a danger on the site if they are not operated properly. Hence, all operators of such cranes are required to be formally trained. Participants who have successfully completed this course will be awarded a Certificate of Successful Completion. This certificate is a prerequisite for application to be an MOM-registered truck mounted mobile crane operator.
