Description

Welcome to TLILIC0023 License to Operate a slewing mobile crane (up to 60 tonnes) training course. The successful completion of this course will allow you to apply for a C6 high risk work licence.

This Queensland-based training course specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a slewing mobile crane with a Maximum Rated Capacity (MRC) up to 60 tonnes in accordance with all relevant legislative responsibilities. 

Competence in this unit, does not in itself result in a High-Risk Work Licence (HRWL) to operate this plant.

Slewing mobile crane means a mobile crane incorporating a boom or jib that can be slewed, but does not include:

1. A front-end loader, or

2. A backhoe, or

3. An excavator, or

4. Other earth moving equipment, when configured for crane operation.

A person performing this work is required to hold a slewing mobile crane with an MRC up to 60 tonnes HRWL.

This unit requires a person operating a slewing mobile crane with an MRC up to 60 tonnes to:

1. Plan for the work/task.

2. Prepare for the work/task.

3. Perform work/task.

4. Pack up.

Legislative and regulatory requirements are applicable to this unit of competency.

This unit is based on the licensing requirements of Part 4.5 of the Model Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations and meets Commonwealth, state and territory HRWL requirements.

The National Assessment Instrument (NAI) is the mandated assessment for the HRWL to operate the relevant licensing class as detailed in this unit.

Background - How Can Regular Maintenance Prolong The Lifespan Of Your Slewing Mobile Crane?

Overlooking regular maintenance of your slewing mobile crane can lead to costly repairs and shorten its lifespan. 

By implementing a structured maintenance schedule, you can ensure that your crane operates efficiently and safely for years to come.

For a proper understanding of your slewing mobile crane, it is important to familiarise yourself with its key components. 

These include the boom, counterweights, slewing ring, hydraulic system, and control system. 

Each component plays a crucial role in the overall functionality and safety of the crane.

The boom is responsible for lifting and lowering heavy loads, while the counterweights provide stability. 

The slewing ring allows the crane to rotate 360 degrees, and the hydraulic system powers the crane's movements. 

Lastly, the control system enables operators to maneuver the crane with precision and safety.

Proper maintenance of each component of your slewing mobile crane can significantly impact its lifespan and performance. 

Regular inspections, lubrication, and repairs can help prevent wear and tear, ensuring that the crane operates smoothly and efficiently for years to come.

Monthly Maintenance Tasks:

1. Thorough inspection of structural components for signs of damage or fatigue.

2. Lubrication of moving parts such as bearings, gears, and joints to prevent friction and wear.

3. Testing and calibration of safety features such as limit switches, overload protection systems, and emergency stop mechanisms.

4. Checking and tightening bolts, nuts, and fasteners to ensure structural integrity.

5. Examination of electrical systems including wiring, connections, and controls for any issues or abnormalities.

Annual Maintenance Tasks:

1. Comprehensive examination of the entire crane structure, including the boom, jib, and mast, for any cracks, corrosion, or deformation.

2. Inspection of wire ropes, cables, and chains for wear, corrosion, or damage, and replacing if necessary.

3. Evaluation of hydraulic systems for leaks, proper fluid levels, and functionality.

4. Testing of load cells and other load-measuring devices for accuracy and reliability.

5. Review and update of maintenance records and documentation to track the crane's maintenance history and compliance with regulatory requirements.
