In construction, oil & gas, logistics and heavy‑industry operations, mobile cranes play a key role in lifting and transporting heavy loads with precision. However, unsafe crane operations can cause serious accidents, regulatory breaches and costly project delays.
Our 30‑Hour Diploma in Mobile Cranes (MOB) is a focused training programme designed to equip operators, supervisors and safety professionals with the knowledge and practical skills necessary for safe, efficient and compliant mobile crane operations.
Course Overview
This diploma is built on globally recognised safety practices, including relevant regulatory standards, equipment operation guidelines, rigging fundamentals and hazard‑control techniques. Participants will gain a deep understanding of mobile crane types, load chart interpretation, ground‑condition assessment, rigging practices and emergency response. The 30‑hour format is streamlined yet comprehensive—allowing professionals to upskill without major disruption to their work schedules.
Study Units
The course includes the following units:
Introduction to Mobile Cranes and Safety Regulations (3 hours)
Understand the role of mobile cranes across industries, key safety standards, regulatory responsibilities and the importance of compliance.Types of Mobile Cranes and Their Applications (3 hours)
Differentiate major mobile crane types (truck‑mounted, rough terrain, crawler) and match crane types to appropriate site conditions and tasks.Crane Components and Mechanical Systems (5 hours)
Identify structural, hydraulic and mechanical elements of mobile cranes, understand system operations and recognise signs of wear or failure.Load Charts and Lifting Capacities (3 hours)
Interpret crane load charts, calculate lifting capacity based on boom length, radius and counterweights, and understand environmental impacts on performance.Rigging Principles and Sling Selection (3 hours)
Understand rigging fundamentals, choose correct slings, shackles and hardware, and apply safe practices to prevent load shifts or failures.Site Preparation and Crane Setup (3 hours)
Assess ground conditions, select crane positioning, deploy outriggers and leveling, and identify setup hazards.Crane Operation Procedures and Controls (3 hours)
Operate crane controls with precision, follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for lifts, movements and setting loads, and monitor for abnormal operation.Hazard Identification and Risk Management (3 hours)
Conduct hazard assessments in lifting zones, apply risk‑control measures, and adopt proactive safety approaches.Communication, Signaling and Personnel Roles (2 hours)
Apply standard hand signals and communication protocols, understand roles of signalers, riggers and operators in crane tasks.Emergency Response and Incident Prevention (2 hours)
Recognise potential emergency scenarios, apply appropriate response strategies, prepare incident‑reporting protocols and review key course topics in final assessment.
