Introduction to Tower Cranes

Catalog description

This course is restricted to students presently studying under the direction and oversight of an approved apprenticeship program, working in partnership with Columbus State Community College. This class is designed to prepare students by providing them with the basic information and skills to become tower crane operators. The class focuses heavily on hands-on training. This introductory class is available to the students who have completed APPL 21006 (Mobile Crane) in the past five years and who have prior mobile and/or tower crane experience. Before they begin actual hands-on training, students must practice in class on the Tower Crane Computer Simulator to learn the controls.
