The operator must be fully aware of how the crane functions, its maximum load limits, and other such factors. This extends beyond knowing how to connect rigging to the crane. It is vital the operator understand the basics of crane rigging and how lifting materials at different angles will have a direct impact on the type of crane and rigging equipment required.
These materials need to be lifted off the ground and raised to different elevations based on the type of project. One of the most essential tasks a crane operator will be responsible for is the lifting and rigging of different materials.
