Overhead Crane Training in Mackay

Taylor Made Training & Safety delivers overhead crane training in Mackay and across Central Queensland - both nationally accredited RII crane courses and in-house lift & shift competency programs, run on your site with your own equipment.

Accredited overhead crane courses (RTO 5363)

• RIIHAN305D Operate a gantry or overhead crane and RIIHAN203E Conduct lifting operations - delivered as a combined course including an Authority to Operate, $450 per person for groups of 6. Other RTOs charge around $1,100 without the ATO.
• All accredited training is delivered on behalf of Advanced Industry Training, RTO 5363, so outcomes are nationally recognised qualifications.

In-house lift & shift training (often the smarter option)

Where the law allows in-house competency and authorisation for overhead and jib cranes, we build a business-specific training, assessment and authorisation program for you - $250 per person for groups of 6, with a one-off $500 overhead crane procedure and risk assessment package.

• Up to 80% cheaper than sending workers to an external RTO course
• The qualification stays with your business - workers can't take it to a competitor
• Training uses your cranes, your SOPs, your hazards - so the skill transfers immediately
• Fully meets your PCBU obligations under WHS Regulation 2011

One large business that rolled out this program has had zero lift-and-shift incidents since the training was implemented.

Who it suits

Manufacturing and fabrication workshops, mining contractors, sugar mills and any Central Queensland operation running overhead or jib cranes. Training is delivered face-to-face on your site - within 50km of Mackay at no extra cost, custom quote beyond that.
