TLILIC0040 Licence to Operate non slewing crane greater 3 tonnes – CN

This unit covers the operation of non-slewing mobile cranes with a capacity greater than 3 tonnes, such as Franna cranes and similar articulated mobile lifting equipment. It meets the requirements outlined in the National Assessment Instrument for high-risk work licencing in Western Australia.

Training is delivered face-to-face by experienced trainers and includes both classroom theory and hands-on practical instruction using compliant non-slewing crane equipment.

Key topics include:

Pre-start checks and crane setup:
Learn how to conduct thorough inspections, identify faults, and safely prepare non-slewing cranes for lifting operations.

Site assessment and lift planning:
Understand how to assess ground conditions, implement hazard controls, and prepare lift plans based on load type, crane configuration, and environmental factors.

Load chart use and capacity limits:
Develop the skills to read and apply rated capacity tables, calculate lifting limits, and ensure operations remain within safe working load limits.

Non-slewing crane operation:
Gain practical experience operating non-slewing cranes, such as Frannas, to lift, move, and place loads in various site conditions.

Communication and teamwork:
Use standard communication methods—such as two-way radios and hand signals—to coordinate safely with doggers, riggers, and other site personnel.

Shutdown and post-operation procedures:
Apply safe shutdown procedures, isolate the crane, and complete end-of-shift checks to ensure equipment is left in a secure and compliant state.

Emergency response and risk management:
Learn how to respond to operational hazards, equipment issues, and unexpected changes while maintaining safety and control.

Assessments are conducted by a WorkSafe WA licensed assessor and include both a written knowledge and load calculation test and a practical crane operation assessment. On successful completion, participants are eligible to apply for a CN High Risk Work Licence to operate non-slewing mobile cranes over 3 tonnes.
