The Approved Code of Practice for Cranes (3rd edition 2009 states: All persons operating or working with a crane must hold applicable unit standards (3800) as a minimum qualification and preferably hold the relevant National Certificate in Crane operation.

Cranes that can be used for assessment against this unit standard include – truck mounted cranes, all terrain cranes, rough terrain cranes. Assessment cannot be carried out using truck loader cranes, or telehandlers, or excavators when being used as cranes.

Truck – Loader Cranes have played a very prominant role in the electricity industry and their continued use requires workers to be trained to competently operate the crane safely. Workers need to be competent in the safe operation as they are often working around live conductors.
