Look what’s in the January edition of Crane Hotline. Our three new rigging frames are the focus of the Spotlight Rigging feature. The I-beam, Y-pipe, and adjustable rectangular frame are just a few of the tools that we use for hands-on exercises to create moments of discovery for Qualified Rigging Level 2 students.
Want to learn more about how these apparatuses create ‘ah-ha’ moments and help bring rigging concepts to life? Check out the full story here or click for more information on our Qualified Rigging Level 2 Course.

Crane Tech, LLC is proud to announce that Jeffery Ellis, Instructor and Field Services Manager, has been named the 2015 Professional Top Trainer by the Association of Crane & Rigging Professionals (ACRP) and Crane & Rigging Hot Line (featured in the November edition).
The professional-level award is tailored for companies that are primarily engaged in training activities, and Jeff was selected as the overall winner from a judging panel of peers and former award recipients. One of the reasons he was chosen was that he repeatedly displays care in improving the overall safety of a situation, even when correcting the condition of equipment, processes, or knowledge of employees was not a part of his original task as a trainer. “Jeff Ellis’s knowledge and experience allows him to gain the trust and respect of people at all levels of organizations to impact positive changes, often beyond the scope of the training he was hired to do,” said one judge.
When asked about Jeff’s approach as a trainer, Bo Collier, President of Crane Tech stated, “In my experience, it is easy to find a polished trainer or an experienced operator, but rarely do they come together in a way that you find in Jeff Ellis. The reality is that Jeff’s passion and ‘can do’ attitude naturally shines through to both students and management, creating almost instant credibility, building immediate trust and forming a bond early in the learning process.” (more…)
