Course Overview:
Duration: 5 Days | Qualification: TLILIC0020 – Licence to Operate a Slewing Mobile Crane (over 100 tonnes) | Assessment Type: Theory and Practical | Prerequisite: There are no prerequisites for this course
_____
Course Description:
This course specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a slewing mobile crane with a maximum rated capacity (MRC) over 100 tonnes, in accordance with all relevant legislative responsibilities. Slewing mobile crane means a mobile crane incorporating a boom or jib that can be slewed, but does not include:
- A front-end loader or
- A backhoe or
- An excavator or
- Other earth moving equipment, when configured for crane operation
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a slewing mobile crane with a maximum rated capacity (MRC) over 100 tonnes, in accordance with all relevant legislative responsibilities. Competence in this unit, does not in itself result in a High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) to operate this plant.
