A practical guide to crane operations

Richard Skiba’s guide organizes crane operation around both equipment and work tasks. It covers static models—including tower, derrick, portal boom, bridge, and gantry cranes—alongside mobile slewing and non-slewing cranes, noting their features and operational differences. The task-based material follows work from planning and preparation through execution and post-task procedures, with attention to work-area assessment, pre-start checks, and weather monitoring. This pairing of crane types with operational steps gives the book a broad, workplace-oriented scope, including safety measures across the stages of a job.
