Definition:
“Crane-related experience” – operating, maintaining, inspecting, or training on cranes.
1,000 hours of “Crane-related experience” voids the requirement of the practical exam during recertification. Otherwise the practical exam remains required during recertification.
“Candidates who can attest to at least 1,000 hours of crane-related experience during their period of certification do not need to take the practical exam to recertify.”
Note, 1,000 hours is reduced to 500 hours for Service Truck Cranes.
