About Us

The Crane School has been preparing students for heavy equipment operating certifications for more than 21 years. We’ve never had a dissatisfied student! The key to our longtime success is our communication and teaching style. Learning how to operate a crane is not something that can be done just by reading a book. Our Instructors have been crane operators for many years and they all have the ability to communicate to students using terminology and explanations that they can understand in ways that make learning much easier. Our instructors have the passion to pass along information and to see their students learning in the classroom and on the cranes.

The staff is top notch. So much knowledge of cranes from the inside out. If you have a question I promise they have the answer. My class instructors Bob ,Nick, Tony, and Bob B are hands down who you need to instruct you if you want to operate a Crane or Boom truck.

Kenneth Watson

I had the opportunity to take the 3 week course for TLL and TSS certification/testing. The instructors were beyond knowledgeable and helpful. The amount of info needed to pass the course(s) is a lot, but with the help of the instructors and the way it was taught, the testing was not difficult at all. I highly recommend.
