Articulating Boom Certification Course
This course prepares candidates for the NCCCO Articulating Boom Loader written and practical examinations. This course can also be paired with our Preparatory Course for the CCO Articulating Boom Crane Examination, allowing the candidate to leave with two certifications upon passing both written and practical examinations. CICB will provide all attendees with a study guide and test-taking tips for successful completion.
Articulating boom loaders are used for moving palletized materials, roofing materials, drywall, sheetrock, and other materials. It is most commonly used in construction.
We recommend having previous articulating boom loader experience prior to enrolling in this course. However, it is not required. This three-day program covers operation, safety hazards, and standards/regulations through classroom problems and hands-on exercises.
Types of Boom Crane Equipment Covered
CICB instructors focus on articulating boom cranes as well as articulating boom loaders. An articulating boom crane is engineered to lift and relocate heavy loads in tight spots. The equipment showcases a jointed or hinged boom, enabling the extensions to maneuver through difficult-to-reach project sites. Most articulating boom cranes are capable of raising and lowering materials with precision.
Articulating boom loaders are made to lift and move loads using bucket and fork attachments. Loaders are incredibly versatile for relocating pallets and loose materials in construction areas. Your team might use an articulating boom crane to transport bundled supplies between structures, while an articulating boom loader is appropriate for carrying aggregates from point A to point B in spacious locations.
