Start your career with the accredited Overhead Crane Operator Course at Wheelset Academy. This practical Overhead Crane Pendant Radio Controlled course prepares learners for lifting operations, rigging, slinging, load handling, and safe crane operating procedures in industrial workplaces.
The course combines theory, practical training, workplace safety, and lifting operations. As a result, learners gain the skills needed to inspect, operate, move, position, and secure loads using an Overhead Crane Pendant Radio Controlled C30 machine. Furthermore, learners develop an understanding of rigging, slinging, load calculations, hazard identification, and communication procedures.
This programme is aligned with industry standards and follows the National Code of Practice for Lifting Machine Operators. Therefore, learners receive training that meets workplace safety and operational requirements.
Choosing the right lifting machine programme matters because employers need operators who can work safely, follow procedures, communicate effectively, and handle loads professionally. Therefore, this course is designed to prepare learners for real lifting operations in industrial environments.
At Wheelset Academy, we focus on practical workplace training that employers value. In this programme, learners gain theoretical understanding through classroom learning, strengthen skills through practical operating exercises, and build confidence through workplace-focused activities. In the same way, this qualification supports learners who want a serious pathway into lifting operations, crane handling, rigging support, and industrial material handling.
After completing this Overhead Crane Pendant Radio Controlled course, learners should be able to:
Conduct pre-start, start-up, and operational checks safely
Inspect lifting equipment and work environments
Identify hazards and apply workplace safety procedures
Perform rigging and slinging techniques correctly
Estimate loads and interpret load charts
Operate an Overhead Crane Pendant Radio Controlled C30 safely

After completing this programme, learners can prepare for roles such as:
This module introduces lifting machine components, materials handling methods, equipment maintenance, lifting techniques, load calculations, and workplace operating principles. As a result, learners understand how lifting equipment functions in industrial environments.
This module develops understanding of slinging methods, lifting tackle inspections, safe working loads, storage procedures, and rigging safety practices. Consequently, learners improve load handling and lifting safety competence.
This module focuses on communication systems used in lifting operations. Learners practise communication methods, reporting procedures, teamwork coordination, and signal interpretation in workplace environments.
This module builds knowledge of lifting machine operating principles, attachment handling, load stability, defect reporting, manufacturer procedures, and safe operational practices. Therefore, learners strengthen operational awareness and workplace readiness.
This practical module trains learners to inspect work areas, identify hazards, inspect lifting equipment, complete operational checklists, and conduct safe machine start-up procedures according to operational standards.
This module focuses on checking ground conditions, identifying obstructions, stabilising equipment, and ensuring workplace risk assessments are correctly completed before lifting operations begin.
This module teaches learners to establish load dimensions, identify centre of gravity, interpret load charts, select lifting tackle, and plan safe load routes before lifting begins.
This practical module develops skills in hoisting, lowering, slewing, positioning, and moving loads safely. In addition, learners practise communication systems and safe load handling procedures.
This module teaches learners to remove loads safely, park and secure machinery, neutralise controls, apply shutdown procedures, and follow safe refuelling or energising procedures.
