Qualification -
Unit of Competency TLIB3011A - Set up and rig crane for lift
Description This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to set up and rig a mobile crane for a lift, including the systematic positioning and stabilisation of the crane and its assembly. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application 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 with limited or minimum supervision, with limited accountability and responsibility for self and others in achieving the prescribed outcomes. It involves the application of routine principles and procedures to the setting up and rigging of a crane prior to lift in a variety of operational contexts.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Position and stabilise crane
  • Crane is directed to position as per job plan to ensure safe operation in accordance with applicable Australian Standards, codes of practice and manufacturers specifications
  • Ground is checked to ensure it is firm enough to bear the load
  • Appropriate plates or packing are correctly used to adequately distribute the load
  • Any outriggers and stabilisers are correctly deployed and positioned in accordance with manufacturers instructions and the appropriate Australian Standard and other relevant statutory regulations
  • Outrigger packing is checked for adequacy prior to and after lift is taken
       
Element: Assemble crane
  • The block is reeved in accordance with manufacturers instructions
  • Any counterweights are installed to manufacturers specifications
  • Any attachments are set up in accordance with manufacturers instructions
  • A qualified rigger is consulted and other personnel are assisted as necessary to ensure efficient and safe assembly and set-up of crane
  • Straight fly jibs and luffing fly jibs are assembled and fitted in accordance with manufacturers instructions
       


Evidence Required
