Summary
An occupation that operates cable cranes to hoist heavy objects at construction sites or factories and transport them to designated locations.
Description
Cable crane operators operate cable cranes that move along wire ropes or rails to hoist construction materials and machinery equipment and other heavy objects and transport them to designated locations. Before work, they perform inspections, load calculations, outrigger deployment, checks on the condition of wire ropes and hooks, and safety device operation checks. During operations, they coordinate with signalers, operate while maintaining the stability of suspended loads, and pay attention to site environments and wind speeds. They also handle periodic maintenance inspections, simple maintenance, and record management. Physical strength and concentration are required to handle work at heights and in harsh environments.
