Level A Practical AssessmentFOLDING BOOM TRUCK CRANES
1 November 2016
Minimum Sizes for Folding Boom TrucksFor the Level A Practical Assessments
Minimum Boom Length: 25 feet (7.62 metres)
Minimum Capacity: 5 tons (4.535 tonnes)
If you have any questions concerning these restrictions, please contact us. The assessor will not continue with the assessment if the crane provided does not meet the minimum size requirements.
There are three levels of classification for the Folding Boom Truck Crane:
Folding Boom – Unlimited Tonnage1. Measured in tonnes
2. Folding boom trucks with capacity greater than 22 tonnes at manufacturer rated minimum radius are in this category
3. Cranes that rate in this capacity are a very small proportion of the crane fleets found in Western Canada.
Folding Boom – 22 Tonnes & Under1. Measured in tonnes
2. A ‘deadweight’ capacity defined as the highest capacity at minimum radius listed by the manufacturer on the load chart
3. 22 deadweight tonnes capacity is equal to the Hiab 1100 model series or equivalent
Folding Boom – 10 Tonnes & Under1. Measured in tonnes
2. A ‘deadweight’ capacity defined as the highest capacity at minimum radius listed by the manufacturer on the load chart
3. 10 deadweight tonnes capacity is equal to the Hiab 337 model series or equivalent
For your Level A assesment:
Please choose the crane with the highest capacity that you have access to and can competently operate for your practical assessment.
Paths to CertificationThe Folding Boom Truck – Unlimited Tonnage certification is linked to an Industry Training Authority of BC Qualification of the same name and can be achieved through a formal apprenticeship or through a ‘challenge’ of the qualification using established ITA procedures – one of which is completion of a theory test. www.itabc.ca/Page660.aspx
The Folding Boom – 22 Tonnes & Under and 10 Tonnes & Under Certificate Classes are not linked to an Industry Training Authority of BC Qualification and therefore are not linked to an apprenticeship program.
CLASSIFICATIONS
Other RequirementsThe following requirements must also be fulfilled for the assessment to take place:
• Cranes must have an up-to-date certification for the practical assessment. If the crane certification is not up-to-date, the assessment will not proceed.
• The Load Chart and Log Book must be legible, up-to-date and available.
• Outrigger pads must be available for crane set up. The floats provided with the cranes are not sufficient.
• Adequate yard space must be available for crane set up and to perform the operating components of the assessment.
• No power lines may be in the operating area.
LEVEL A PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS
Information about Classification using Tonne-Metres
Manufacturers measure boom truck capacities in tonne-metres. A tonne-metre is a theoretical guide to what a folding boom truck will lift at a given reach and is expressed mathematically as:
Lifting Capacity (in tonne-metres) =
Load (in tonnes) x Distance (in metres)
To simplify the job of determining which crane fits where into the Folding Boom Truck Tonnage Classification, we used the tonne-metre measure for classifying folding boom trucks at the launch of the CraneSafe Certification system in summer of 2008.
The use of tonne metres as a capacity measure proved to be confusing to industry and operators and effective 30 October 2009, under the direction of industry stakeholders and the BC Association for Crane Safety, the use of tonne-metres as a capacity measure for Folding Boom Trucks was dropped and replaced by the current system.

How to Determine your Folding Boom Crane’s Maximum CapacityMaximum capacity is measured in tonnes (metric tons) and is the ‘deadweight’ capacity. This is defined as the highest capacity at the minimum radius listed by the manufacturer on the load chart. Below are two examples:
MAXIMUM CAPACITY
For example, the following is the load chart for the Hiab XS 477.
The ‘deadweight’ capacity, or highest capacity at the minimum radius shown, is 12,000 kg which is equivalent to 12 tonnes and therefore comes under the Folding Boom – 22 Tonnes & Under classification.
For example, the following is the load chart for the Effer 750 with four models.
The ‘deadweight’ capacity, or highest capacity at the minimum radius shown, ranges from 18,960 kg (which is equivalent to 18.9 tonnes) for the 9S to 22,000 kg (equivalent to 22 tonnes) for the 4S. Therefore we can see that the 4S, 6S, 8S and 9S all come under the Folding Boom – 22 Tonnes & Under classification.
