TLILIC3006 Licence to operate a non-slewing mobile crane (greater than 3 tonnes capacity)

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to operate a non-slewing mobile crane safely.

Non-slewing mobile crane means a mobile crane incorporating a boom or jib that cannot be slewed, and includes:

an articulated mobile crane

a locomotive crane

but does not include vehicle tow trucks.

This unit applies to the activities of a person operating a non-slewing crane with a capacity exceeding 3 tonnes.

A person performing this work is required to hold a non-slewing mobile crane high risk work (HRW) licence.

This unit requires a person operating non-slewing mobile crane to plan the work, conduct routine checks, set up crane, transfer load, mobile load and shut down and secure crane.
