Blog - Overhead Cranes Overview-new

Manufacturing facilities use overhead and mobile cranes daily and must secure Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) approved training to mitigate risk and maintain uptime. 

CICB provides nationwide crane training programs for manufacturing environments, allowing companies to meet safety and productivity goals without disrupting operations.

What Manufacturing Companies Gain

CICB prepares crane operators for certification exams, load handling, and equipment inspections by addressing the exact tasks performed inside manufacturing plants. Programs include classroom sessions, practical exercises, and competency assessments developed from decades of experience training industrial workforces.

Our training aligns with current OSHA and ASME regulations to support managers in demonstrating due diligence during audits, insurance reviews, and regulatory inspections. Key training elements include:

  • Overhead crane/hoist operator and rigger training.
  • Load handling instruction on safe lifting, rigging, and signaling practices.
  • Equipment inspection training covering pre-operation checks and maintenance reporting.
  • Performance documentation for regulatory and insurance compliance.

 

How Much Does Crane Operator Training Cost?

Pricing depends on delivery format, the number of participants, equipment types, and certification goals. Customized proposals allow your company to align training investments with workforce development plans and compliance requirements.

CICB deploys trainers nationwide, whether your operators need a one-day refresher session or a multi-week comprehensive program.

What Is the Highest-Paid Crane Operator?

Industry data shows the highest-paid crane operators work in the offshore oil, nuclear power, or heavy industrial sectors. Success depends on qualified person designation, experience, OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910 for General Industry, and demonstrated performance under complex lifting conditions. Training through CICB prepares operators for higher-paying opportunities by building skills and credentials recognized across multiple industries.

Is Crane Operator School Worth It?

Whether your team conducts on-site sessions at your facility or visits one of our facilities in Texas or Orlando, it opens pathways to long-term career growth. It lets safety managers invest in a skilled workforce that supports operational reliability and regulatory compliance.

 

When to Implement Training

Manufacturing companies use CICB training when onboarding new operators, introducing new equipment, or updating procedures to meet revised regulations. Safety managers also schedule refresher courses following incidents, inspections, or changes in production processes. Proactive training prevents compliance gaps, reduces workers' compensation claims, and strengthens safety culture across manufacturing operations.
