Pendant Control + Crane Swing (R1) Overview
Onsite Pendant Control & Crane Safety Training Delivered at Your Workplace
This training covers two key areas: pendant-controlled crane operation and crane swing safety. Both are essential for safe lifting operations and can be delivered independently or combined to improve operator control, load stability and overall workplace safety.
About This Course
Pendant-controlled cranes are widely used across industrial, manufacturing and warehouse environments to safely lift and move loads. Operators must understand how to control lifting equipment accurately while maintaining load stability and awareness of surrounding hazards.
Our Pendant Control Training provides operators with the knowledge and practical understanding required to safely operate cranes using pendant controls. Training focuses on safe lifting techniques, correct use of controls, positioning, communication and maintaining full control of loads during movement.
Crane swing is a major risk factor during lifting operations, particularly when loads are suspended, travelling or affected by movement or environmental conditions. Poor control of load swing can result in collisions, instability or serious workplace accidents.
Our Crane Swing Training focuses on understanding how and why loads swing, how to minimise uncontrolled movement, and how to maintain safe lifting practices. Operators learn techniques to control load movement, reduce swing during lifting and positioning, and work safely within confined or busy environments.
Courses are suitable for workers involved in lifting operations using overhead cranes or similar equipment. Training can be arranged for pendant control operation, crane swing awareness, or both depending on your workplace requirements.
Where possible, training is delivered onsite at your premises so the instruction reflects your equipment, lifting operations and working environment.

Course FAQ
Pendant control crane training teaches operators how to safely use pendant-controlled lifting equipment. It covers the correct use of controls, safe lifting techniques, positioning and maintaining control of loads during movement.
Crane swing refers to the uncontrolled movement of a suspended load during lifting or travelling. Managing crane swing is important because excessive or uncontrolled movement can lead to collisions, instability and serious workplace accidents.
This training is suitable for anyone involved in lifting operations using overhead or pendant-controlled cranes. It is particularly important for operators, supervisors and workers responsible for moving loads safely within industrial or warehouse environments.
Training covers safe use of pendant controls, lifting and lowering techniques, load positioning, understanding how loads behave during movement, and methods to reduce or control crane swing during operations.
Typical duration is between half a day and one day, depending on group size, experience level and whether both pendant control and crane swing training are required. Training is delivered in line with recognised workplace safety standards and can be provided by an instructor registered with the Association of Industrial Truck Trainers (AITT).
Both areas can be delivered as individual training sessions or combined into one course, depending on your workplace requirements.
