Operate a vehicle loading crane
Unit Number: RIIHAN307E
CODE: VLC
Course Description: This course is designed to prepare a person to safely and effectively operate a vehicle loading crane with less than 10 metre ton capacity.
NOTE: To determine the capacity of your vehicle loading crane.
If at any radius for the crane that radius multiplied by the SWL is less than 10 then your crane is not a 10 metre tonne crane and does not require a high risk work licence.
Eg: If at 3.5m radius SWL is 2.1 tonne then 3.5 x 2.1 = 7.35, therefore this is not a 10 metre tonne crane.

- Pre – operation checks
- Set – up the Crane and Transfer loads
- Shut – down, secure and maintain crane
Training: (May be conducted at your premises or a Logisafe venue)
Allow: 2-3 days
(Usually 1-2 days in class including a machine induction, then 20 nominal hours of Employer supervised training at the work environment under Logbook then 1 day revision prior to assessment)
TRAINING CONSISTS OF:
Formal training (including practical training) which covers:
- The planning and preparation to safely and effectively operate a vehicle loading crane
- The identification and control, of work health and safety issues related to vehicle loading crane operation
- Understanding relevant legislative obligations and duty of care responsibilities belonging to operators of a vehicle loading crane
- The inspection of the vehicle loading crane prior to performing work
- The performance of vehicle loading crane tasks in accordance with relevant standards, legislative requirements and industry codes of practice
Informal training (supervised practical training at your workplace):
- Prior to completing their performance test, students are required to perform a nominal 20 hours of supervised vehicle loading crane activities in their work environment. This is recorded in the logbook provided by Logisafe.
Assessment - 1 day:
- Theory examination consisting of 50 questions
- Performance test consisting of 11practical exercises
