Overhead Crane
Designed for Overhead Crane and Hoist operators. Students will learn safe operating procedures and daily inspection to ensure a consistent approach to crane safety.
Laguna’s Overhead Crane and Hoist training gives you the tools you will need for safe operating practices, proper load handling, pre-use inspection and accident avoidance.
