Operator training for overhead and gantry cranes — pendant, radio or cab-controlled. ITSSAR-accredited or in-house certified, delivered in-company on your own crane.
Overhead crane training is delivered in-company at three levels — choose by your operators’ experience.
Overhead crane training prepares operators to use an overhead or gantry crane safely — pendant, radio or cab-controlled — to lift and move loads. It is delivered in-company under LOLER, PUWER and BS 7121, with an ITSSAR-accredited or KeyOstas in-house certificate on successful assessment.
Overhead cranes lift heavy loads above the workforce, so competent operation is essential. LOLER governs lifting equipment and operations, PUWER requires adequate training, and BS 7121 is the code of practice for safe crane use. The course covers the crane and its controls, pre-use checks, load handling, slinging and signalling, and safe operation. KeyOstas delivers it in-company on your own crane.
KeyOstas trains overhead and gantry crane operators at every level.
By the end of the course your operators will be able to use an overhead crane safely to lift and move loads.
