Description

Welcome to the TLILIC0023 training course for a license to operate a mobile slewing crane (upto 60 tonnes). This course allows you to apply for the C6 high-risk work licence after successfully completing it.

This NSW-based course specifies the knowledge and skills required to safely operate an slewing mobile cran with a maximum rated capacity (MRC) of up to 60 tons in accordance with relevant legislative responsibilities.

The competence in this unit does not automatically result in a High Risk Work Licence to operate this plant.

Slewing mobile crane is a mobile crane with a boom or jib which can be slewed. It does not include the following:

1. Front-end loader
   
2. A backhoe is a machine that can be used to dig up or
   
3. An excavator, or
   
4. Other earth moving equipment configured for crane operation.
   

This work requires a person to be able to operate a mobile slewing crane with MRC of up to 60 tonnes HRWL.

This unit requires a crane operator to operate a slewing-mobile crane with a MRC of up to 60 tonnes:

1. Plan the work/task.
   
2. Prepare for the task/work.
   
3. Perform work/task.
   
4. Pack up.
   

This unit of competency is subject to legislative and regulatory requirements.

This unit is based upon the licensing requirements in Part 4.5 of Model Work Health and Safety Regulations (WHS). It meets Commonwealth, State and Territory HRWL requirements.

The National Assessment Instrument is the mandatory assessment for HRWL to operate in the relevant licensing class, as detailed in this unit.

Background: How Can Regular Maintenance Increase The Lifespan of Your Slewing Mobile crane?

If you neglect to maintain your mobile crane, it can cost you a lot of money in repairs and reduce its lifespan.

Implementing a structured maintenance program will ensure that your crane continues to operate efficiently and safely for many years.

It is important that you are familiar with the key components of your mobile crane.

These include the booms, counterweights and slewing rings, as well as the hydraulic system and control system.

Each component is crucial to the overall safety and functionality of the crane.

The boom is used to lift and lower heavy loads while the counterweights are responsible for stability.

The hydraulic system powers the crane movements.

The control system allows operators to operate the crane with precision, safety and ease.

The lifespan and performance of your mobile crane slewing can be significantly affected by the maintenance of its components.

Regular inspections, maintenance, and repairs will help to prevent wear and tear and ensure that the crane continues to operate smoothly and efficiently for many years.

Monthly Maintenance Tasks

1. Inspection of structural components for signs or damage or fatigue.
   
2. Lubrication is used to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, such as bearings and gears.
   
3. Test and calibrate safety features, such as limit switches and overload protection systems.
   
4. Checking and tightening bolts and nuts to ensure structural integrity.
   
5. Examine electrical systems, including wiring, connections and controls, for any abnormalities or issues.
   

Annual Maintenance Tasks

1. Examine the entire crane structure including the boom, the jib and the mast for any cracks or corrosion.
   
2. Inspection of wire ropes and cables for wear, corrosion or damage and replacement if necessary.
   
3. Hydraulic systems are evaluated for leaks, fluid levels and functionality.
   
4. Test load cells and other load measuring devices for accuracy and reliability.
   
5. Review and update maintenance records and documentation in order to track the crane’s maintenance history, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
   

License requirement for mobile cranes that slew in NSW

You will need to apply in NSW for the appropriate high-risk work license class.

These licenses are:

20-tonne capacity – C2 high-risk work licence

This licence also includes the authority to operate:

1. Non-slewing mobile Crane - CN.
   
2. Vehicle loading crane (CV) (excluding the application load estimation and slinging technique).
   
3. reach stacker - RS.
   

60-tonne capacity – C6 high-risk work licence

1. 20 tonnes or less C2.
   
2. Non-slewing mobile Crane - CN.
   
3. Vehicle loading crane (CV) (excluding the application load estimation and slinging technique).
   
4. reach stacker - RS.

Operator Competency and Licensing

A person must have a High Risk Work (HRW) license to operate a vehicle-loading crane with a capacity greater than 10 metre tons.

This can be:

Vehicle Loading Crane Licence, or one of four slewing crane HRW licenses (Slewing Mobile Crane with a capacity between 20 and 60 tonnes; slewing Mobile Crane with a capacity between 100 and 200 tonnes; slewing Mobile Crane with a capacity above 100 tonnes).

A crane has 10 metre tonnes of capacity if, at any point on its load chart, the radius in metres multiplied by load (in tons) is equal or greater than 10.

A person who holds a HRW licence for a vehicle-loading crane is able to use load estimation and slinging methods when operating a VLC in normal circumstances.

NSW requires a licensed dogger if:

1. The VLC is used to position loads at elevated or remote locations.
   
2. The operator operates the crane with a licence for a mobile slewing crane.

2. The mobile crane's Rated Capacity (RC), and the lifting equipment's Working Load Limits (WLL), are determined and are suitable for the loads and work/tasks required in accordance with the manufacturer requirements and workplace procedures.
   
3. Implementation of the traffic management plan is confirmed according to workplace procedures.
   
4. In accordance with workplace procedure, the appropriate communication procedures are identified to all associated personnel.
   
5. The lift plan and safe working procedures are used to check the implementation of risk control measures.
   
6. The mobile crane is operated safely according to the manufacturer's requirements and safe working procedures.
   
7. Set up counterweights as needed in accordance with lift plan, manufacturer requirements and safe working procedures.
