Overview
TLILIC0022 Licence to operate a slewing mobile crane (up to 20 tonnes) covers the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a slewing mobile crane with a maximum rated capacity up to 20 tonnes in accordance with legislative and workplace requirements.
Slewing mobile cranes are used across construction, mining, infrastructure and heavy industry environments to lift, move and position loads safely. Operators must plan lifting activities carefully, interpret load charts, communicate with lifting crews and ensure safe crane setup and operation.
