TLILIC0024 Licence to operate a vehicle loading crane (capacity 10 metre tonnes and above)

This nationally recognised course provides participants with the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a vehicle loading crane (capacity over 10 metre tonnes). Often referred to as a truck-mounted crane, this unit is essential for operators responsible for loading and unloading heavy materials using cranes mounted on vehicles. The course covers pre-operational checks, load handling, safe operation, and shutdown procedures in compliance with workplace health and safety regulations. Successful assessment supports a separate application to the regulator for the relevant high risk work licence.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand WHS legislative requirements and operator responsibilities.
  • Conduct pre-start checks, inspections, and maintenance of vehicle loading cranes.
  • Safely set up, stabilise, and operate a crane over 10 metre tonnes.
  • Read and apply load charts to ensure safe lifting.
  • Attach, secure, lift, move, and position loads using correct rigging techniques.
  • Communicate effectively with team members using standard signals and radios.
  • Implement risk management and hazard control strategies.
  • Shut down and secure the crane after use.

Course Content

  • WHS requirements and duty of care.
  • Hazard identification and risk management.
  • Pre-operational inspections and routine maintenance.
  • Setting up and stabilising the crane.
  • Load estimation, charts, and lifting techniques.
  • Slinging and securing loads.
  • Communication methods during lifting operations.
  • Emergency procedures and fault reporting.

Assessment

Assessment will include:

  • Written/oral theory knowledge test.

Certification

Participants who meet the assessment and enrolment requirements will receive a Statement of Attainment from Halo Nation Training Pty Ltd (RTO 32485) for TLILIC0024 Licence to operate a vehicle loading crane (capacity 10 metre tonnes and above).

A Statement of Attainment is not a high risk work licence. Licensing requires a separate application to WorkSafe and satisfaction of the regulator’s requirements. Attendance or payment does not guarantee a competent result or a licence.

Prices shown are per participant for Perth company group bookings. Minimum group charges apply even if fewer people attend. If a trainer flies to site, the maximum class size is charged. Your written quote will confirm the total, applicable GST, administration, travel and any requested VOC or additional assessment costs. Full payment is due at least five business days before training, or on confirmation for shorter-notice bookings.

For high risk work licence courses, successful assessment does not itself issue a licence. Participants must meet WorkSafe WA’s requirements and lodge their application within the required period, generally within 60 days of the Notice of Assessment. Optional ASTS application assistance is $120 plus GST per participant, including a passport photograph. Your quote will confirm what this service includes and any separate regulator application fee.
