Hydraulic Crane Operator

Hydraulic Crane Operator Serving Kissimmee, Lakeland, Lake City, Palatka, Starke & Neighboring Cities

Crane operator in cab of craneConstruction companies often rely on Sims Crane & Equipment for a hydraulic crane operator for a variety of reasons. Many small construction companies don’t have a crane operator on staff. In addition, some projects require several cranes to operate at the same time, and when a company has only one operator who is already working on another piece of equipment such as a tower crane, they may need an additional operator to ensure the timely completion of their project. Companies also turn to Sims Crane & Equipment when their operator is on vacation or sidelined by an injury or illness.

It is important to require certified crane operators on your job site to reduce accidents, injuries and possibly save lives. The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) offers certifications for operating a boom truck, mobile crane, tower crane and other equipment. Requirements for a hydraulic crane operator certification include the following:

  • Minimum age requirement of 18
  • Substance Abuse Policy compliance
  • Passing score on a written exam of core requirements and one specialty
  • Passing score on a practical exam within 12 months of passing written exam

Certification is only valid for 5 years, and recertification is required within 12 months of expiration.
