In many cases, machine operators must hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL), and there is a learning curve for new users. To address this, Senne- bogen offers training and collaborates with third-party organizations that use simulators to help crews become famil- iar with the equipment. “We have what we call machine famil- iarization,” Roberts said. Biancardi noted the importance of working with a manufacturer who is committed to ensuring customers understand how to use and maintain the equipment. BIK Boom Trucks, for example, partners with a company that offers crane operator certifica- tion and provides onsite training to clients with their newly purchased equipment. “You need training,” Biancardi said. “It’s in your best interest.”
While large machinery handles the heavy lifting, the crew monitors from a safe distance, reducing exposure to falling debris.
