General Crane Industry Services Program

Crane Industry Services’s training programs are designed for personnel involved in the operation, maintenance or management of cranes, hoists and other material handling equipment. The primary objective of our training programs is to provide each participant with information and skills that can be put to immediate use.

Our training programs consist of: 

  • Classroom discussion, supported by student workbooks and hands-on instruction.
  • Hands-on instruction designed to immediately apply the classroom material.
  • Field activities guided and supervised by our instructors.

Every student is important and receives individual attention in the classroom and in the field.  Each student is given the opportunity to actively participate which allows him or her to put theory into immediate practice. Our instructors are able to take the classroom directly to the field.

Class size is controlled to maximize the interaction between the instructor and the student.  On-site programs allow students to discuss issues that directly relate to their working environments.
