A truck mounted loader crane is a machine that lifts things, such as large structures or parts of structures, into place. The machine consists of a boom, which is the horizontal part that extends out from the vehicle and carries an attached lifting device. A wheel in front of the boom provides steering capabilities to move the boom around where it needs to go. The truck mounted loader crane training price is usually about R 2,000 for five days of classroom instruction plus two days on-site with a qualified instructor. Some schools offer discounts when you sign up for their full course. A full course typically lasts four weeks and includes 8 hours of theory classes each day, followed by hands-on work in the field. There are also shorter courses available if you don't have time to do everything over a longer period of time.
