Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


Work must be carried out in compliance with the licence/permit requirements and regulations of the relevant state/territory authorities pertaining to mobile crane operations.

Work is performed under general supervision. It involves the application of some judgement and routine principles and procedures to the assessment of lift requirements and the provision of a quotation for a mobile crane lift in a variety of operational contexts including specialised lifts.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assess job requirements for a lift using a mobile crane, and provide a quotation to a customer, including establishing customer requirements, determining the credit rating of customer, identifying the scope of the work, specifying job requirements and methods with customers, and documenting the quotation. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
