Training

Training has become a very important and frequently requested requirement in today's overall facility safety program. Most would be surprised about how many unsafe situations can exist with your overhead material handling equipment and operators. Properly trained operators contrubute to reduced downtime and accidents, leading to increased productivity and profitability. In response to this growing need, Piedmont Hoist & Crane has developed the region's most comprehensive operator safety training program.

How about a quick quiz?

  • What is a birdcage and where can it be found?
  • When the angle between sling and the load is 30 degrees, how much has capacity decreased?
  • When an eyebolt is being used horizontally, how much does that affect capacity?
  • How many wraps of wire rope must remain on the drum when the hook is at its lowest point?
  • A hook with what degree of twist must be taken out service?
  • How often must a sling be inspected?
  • When should a sling be taken out of service?

If answers to these questions aren't something your personnel can provide, you'll benefit from a training session from Piedmont Hoist & Crane.
