Course: Crane Technology & Operation (CTO) |
 |
|
Below lists the prerequisite for this course and the course description.
| Prerequisite: | None |
| Content: | This program assumes no basic service and operational knowledge of Grove Rough Terrain, Truck Mounted and All Terrain crane systems. We start the course with an in-depth review of crane terminology and technologies so the students can relate to a crane’s individual components and systems.
Programs covering Grove domestic load charts are used to expose the students to how load charts are constructed and how to properly read and interpret them. After completion of the domestic built cranes, the study will move forward into the GMK product line, here the students will be exposed to the GMK style load charts. Exercises will be conducted in class to assure a full grasp of both product types.
Load moment indicating systems operation and function will be covered with an emphasis on proper use, programming, and how the system functions. A session on Wire Rope includes information on wire rope construction, proper maintenance, inspection and installation.
Machine hands-on sessions will allow the students to experience how Grove cranes function, proper set up and operation. This will give students a working knowledge of a fully functioning Grove crane and the foundation to continue their studies in Grove Hydraulics and Electrical systems.
The final portion of the course will be focused on proper use of Machine Delivery Forms, Maintenance Inspection Forms and ANSI/OSHA standards. |
| Objectives: | Upon course completion the student will:
-
Have the basic understanding of how to read and interpret load charts and explain them to operators during machine deliveries.
-
Conduct start-up and programming of PAT LMI systems and have basic understanding of how the system functions.
-
Have an understanding of how a Grove crane functions and operates.
-
Understand wire rope construction, maintenance, inspection, and wire rope installation.
-
Have an understanding of operation and set up of a Grove crane, proper programming and use of the LMI system.
