North America’s First Program to Specialize in Training on Knuckle Boom Cranes

Up until Crane Trainers inc. developed their first one day familiarization class on articulated loader cranes or "knuckle booms", there had been inadequate training on some of the most sophisticated crane technology in the market today.

With over 25 years of combined experience in the operation, repairing, sales and training of articulated loader crane packages, our programs reflect every bit of that experience.

Our familiarization training is primarily geared towards providing up to date practical guidance on ALL makes and models of articulated loader cranes, remote controls and their safety systems. We know every participant in our programs will walk away with a positive learning experience and practical knowledge that will help enhance the skill set required to operate these unique cranes on a day to day basis.

We also provide specialized training for maintenance and service personal and a compressed familiarization course for supervisors and riggers/swampers. These courses can be customized to meet the needs of each individual client.

This one day course is designed to provide the fundamental basics in articulated loader/ “knuckle boom” crane operation. From the new operator, to the 30 year veteran, everybody will take relevant operator information away from this familiarization class.

This class is geared for the more experienced operator and personnel. This course can be packaged with module 1 or taken at a later date depending on the needs of the customer. Module 1 is a prerequisite for this course.
