Course Overview

The GWO Crane and Hoist Training is segmented into two primary modules:
  • Module 1 - Crane and Hoist Basic User
  • Module 2 - Crane and Hoist inspection and Maintenance

MODULE 1 – CRANE AND HOIST BASIC USER


Empowering participants with both theoretical and practical training, this module aims to bolster safety awareness when using cranes and hoists during service operations. It encompasses the skills required to safely operate common types of small, fixed cranes (e.g., 8 metric tons/ meter) and fixed hoists in the wind industry, onshore and offshore. Adherence to manufacturers' manuals, relevant documentation, and legislation is a core tenet of this module.

Modern wind industry operations heavily rely on equipment like small fixed cranes and hoists. These pieces of equipment, although seemingly straightforward, require a deep understanding to prevent mishaps. The Basic User module ensures participants are not just operators but knowledgeable users who comprehend the mechanics, risks, and precautions associated with these machines.

MODULE 2 - CRANE AND HOIST INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE


This module is meticulously designed to enable technicians to inspect, maintain, and test fixed small cranes and hoists in adherence to the relevant legislation. Participants are trained to align their practices with relevant manufacturer's inspection and maintenance manuals and documents. The overarching objective is to guarantee that each technician is adept at ensuring the operational integrity and safety of the equipment.

Ensuring the longevity and functionality of machinery goes beyond mere operation. Proper inspection and maintenance routines are paramount to a machine's lifecycle and safe operation. This module offers insights into the potential wear and tear, common issues, and recommended upkeep methods for cranes and hoists. Equipped with this knowledge, technicians can anticipate issues before they escalate and ensure machinery longevity.
