The ever changing world of heavy equipment operators can be an exciting ride. The industry is constantly changing with innovative technologies and better equipment that requires new training. Many engineering and construction companies will need their employees to be trained on these new machines and technologies. This specialized training can be performed by a quality heavy equipment training school.

This specialized training can be set up to teach employees exactly what the firm desires. If the company will be changing focus from building houses to building roads, the specialized training curriculum can concentrate on the heavy equipment used by road crews. This training will teach the employees how to properly and safely use the equipment that may be new to them. Specialized training can also be used to train employees on a new piece of equipment that has been purchased. For example, if a company buys an articulating crane and none of the crew has ever used one. Specialized training can be set up to get the crew trained and back on the work site quickly.

Specialized training is a great way to train a crew or a part of a crew quickly, so they are not away from the work site for a long period of time. It also enables the company with the ability to focus the training on their specific needs. Lastly, it allows the construction company or engineering company time to build and not have to focus on creating the training program from scratch. The heavy equipment training school has performed this training in the past and can perform the specialized training quickly and much more cost effectively.

Crane operator training has become an important part of any workplace that employs cranes. Today, it is compulsory in most states to be certified as a crane operator before you can step foot anywhere near a crane. One of the problems with crane operator training is that one size does not fit all and there are many different types of crane in use today.

ATS Crane Operator Schools conduct regular training programs for those wanting to enter the mobile crane sector. For those employers looking for specialized operators, we offer training in:

• Large Telescopic Boom Cranes (swing cab/rough terrain)
• Small Telescopic Boom Cranes (fixed cab/boom truck)
• Lattice Crane (Crawler or Truck)
• Articulated (knuckleboom) Cranes

We also provide training in for OSHA Compliant Rigging & Signal Person and offer NCCCO Written & Practical Exams for those ready for certification. ATS is approved by the NCCCO as a test site for both the NCCCO written and NCCCO practical exams so we provide the complete pathway from training through to certification.

Whilst most of our training is undertaken at one of our campuses, we are happy to set up a training and testing room on your site if that is more convenient. This can be beneficial for those businesses that are located, or who are working in remote locations. Because we come to you, there is a less impact on your day-to-day business. Employees are also then trained on the equipment that will be using.
