The overall production capabilities within your manufacturing
facilities rely very heavily upon the constant availability
of the overhead crane. The cost associated with unscheduled
downtime for this equipment can run in the hundreds
of thousands of dollars - not yearly, not monthly
- but daily. Your operators, mechanics, and supervisors
must all be made aware of the importance of proper

equipment. This class includes two days of overhead
crane information plus a full day of rigging safety.
