Description

Welcome to TLILIC0024 Licence to Operate a Vehicle Loading Crane (capacity 10 metre tonnes and above). 

This course is associated with a CV High Risk Work Licence.

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a vehicle loading crane with a Maximum Rated Capacity (MRC) of 10 metre tonnes or more. Competence in this unit, does not in itself result in a High-Risk Work Licence (HRWL) to operate this plant.

Vehicle loading crane means a crane mounted on a vehicle for loading and unloading the vehicle.

A person performing this work is required to hold a vehicle loading crane HRWL.

This unit requires a person operating a slewing vehicle loading crane with a MRC of 10 metre tonnes or more 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 licencing class as detailed in this unit.

Participants will receive training in the following skills and knowledge areas:

1. Planning work.

2. Calculations.

3. Whistles and hand signals.

4. Hazard identification.

5. Crane set up and transferring loads.

6. Reading load charts.

7. Shutting down and securing the crane.

Background - How To Properly Maintain And Inspect Your Vehicle Loading Crane For Optimal Performance in Queensland?

Routine visual inspections are crucial to ensure the safe operation of your vehicle loading crane. 

Look for any signs of damages or wear on the crane components such as the boom, cables, hooks, and hydraulic systems. 

Any visible defects should be addressed immediately to prevent further damage and ensure optimal performance during operation.

Functional Tests Before Operation

Before using the vehicle loading crane, it is necessary to conduct functional tests to ensure that all components are working correctly. 

Test the operation of the crane controls, hoisting and lowering capabilities, rotation movements, and safety features. 

Any abnormalities in the functionality of the crane should be reported and repaired before operating the crane to prevent accidents or malfunctions.

A systematic approach to testing the crane's functions will not only ensure safe operations but also extend the longevity of the equipment. 

Regular maintenance and testing will minimize downtime and increase productivity in the long run.

Lubrication Schedules and Tips:

1. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the type and frequency of lubrication.

2. Ensure you use the correct type of grease specified for your crane.

3. Grease all moving parts including pivots, joints, and bearings to prevent friction and wear.

4. Regularly check lubrication points for signs of dryness or worn-out lubricant and reapply grease as necessary.

Checking and Replacing Hydraulic Fluids:

1. Routinely inspect hydraulic fluids for contamination, leaks, and proper levels.

2. Look for signs of moisture, air bubbles, or discoloration in the fluid, which indicate potential issues.

3. If any abnormalities are detected, immediately replace the hydraulic fluid to maintain optimal performance.

4. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the frequency of fluid changes to ensure the hydraulic system operates efficiently and reliably.

Operator competency and licensing

A person must hold a high risk work (HRW) licence to operate a vehicle loading crane that has a capacity of 10 metre tonnes or more. 

This can be a:

Vehicle Loading Crane HRW Licence or one of the four slewing mobile crane HRW licences (Slewing Mobile Crane - with a capacity up to 20 tonnes; Slewing Mobile Crane - capacity up to 60 tonnes; Slewing Mobile Crane - capacity up to 100 tonnes and Slewing Mobile Crane - capacity over 100 tonnes).

A crane has a capacity of 10 metre tonnes if at any position on the crane's load chart, the radius (in metres) multiplied by the load (in tonnes) is equal to or greater than 10.

A person with a vehicle loading crane HRW licence is able to apply load estimation and slinging techniques when operating the VLC under regular circumstances.

A licensed dogger is required in the Queensland if:

1. The VLC is being used to position loads in elevated or remote positions.

2. The operator is operating the crane under a slewing mobile crane licence.

What will you learn

1. Task requirements are identified from work orders or equivalent, a lift plan is confirmed with associated personnel and a site inspection is conducted in accordance with workplace procedures.

2. Vehicle loading crane Rated Capacity (RC) and the lifting gear Working Load Limit (WLL) are established for the load/s and work/task requirements in accordance with manufacturer requirements and workplace procedures.

3. Pre-start vehicle loading crane checks are carried out and any damage and defects are reported, recorded and appropriate action is taken in accordance with safe work procedures and manufacturer requirements.

4. Vehicle loading crane logbook is inspected and is correct for the crane type, is completed and signed, and required rectifications have been signed off in accordance with manufacturer requirements and safe work procedures. 

5. Weather and work environment conditions are assessed to determine any impact on vehicle loading crane operations in accordance with manufacturer requirements and safe work procedures.

6. Boom/jib and hook block are safely positioned over the load following directions from associated personnel where applicable and in accordance with the lift plan and safe work procedures. 

7. Lifting equipment and gear are connected to the load and used safely in accordance with the lift plan, safe work procedures and manufacturer requirements.

8. Crane boom/jib, lifting gear and associated equipment are stowed and secured as required in accordance with manufacturer requirements and safe work procedures.

9. Relevant motion locks and brakes are applied as required in accordance with manufacturer requirements and safe work procedures.

Upon successful completion of this course, student will be awarded a Statement of Attainment and therefore the ability to apply for a High-Risk Work Licence to Operate a Vehicle Loading Crane by WorkSafe Queensland.
