clinton: …so let’s get started and meetpotential crane driver, daniel. daniel: hi, i’m daniel, i’m 17 and i’mfrom mt maunganui and i’m learning what it takes to work in and around cranes. clinton: daniel’s headed to heb constructionat mt maunganui. heb is a large civil engineering company.
Offshore Job Dubai, clinton: among their many construction projects,they build roads and bridges. daniel already has a part time job here andhe’s keen to learn about cranes. daniel: nice to meet you. daniel. mani: yeah, mani, heb structures.
clinton: mani wilkinson is a cranes supervisorfor heb. mani: i started myself as just a hammer hand,got into the cranes slowly. there’s a skill there that no one can just instantly knoweverything about it. patience is really the hardest one – it doesn’t come straightaway. we also need to know a lot of obviously the theory and the rigging behind things soknowing that what you’re actually lifting is going to be safe. i suppose there’s alot of responsibility there is you’re running someone in the man cage and you’re takingthem to a certain height that the responsibility is all on you that you’re gonna, that you’llbring them home safely at night. clinton: the mt maunganui heb site makes pre-castconcrete panels and beams for structures and
roading projects. lee liddelow supervisestraining here. lee: the precast yard that we’ve got here,just over to the left here, they’ll make anything in this part of the yard and everythingis done with cranes moving the precast concrete around. clinton: so time for daniel’s first drivinglesson with mani. mani: well here we have a 7 tonne rk70 whichis probably a perfect start for someone who wants to learn the ropes – it’s quitesimple to drive. mani: well as you’ll see on the left handside you’ve got two levers there… mani: …this red one is your slew, it’llmake you go left and right…
mani: …this one’s the winch… mani: …this is boom up and boom down, soif you pull it towards you it’s going to go up… daniel: oh yep, yep. mani: if you boom down, it’ll go down… sound of engine starting mani: so if you want to gently hold the redlever and slowly pull that towards you without pushing this forward at all, just try andhold just that one lever. mani: the rk70, they’re so mobile and usefulthat even today on our bridge jobs they end
up coming on to move moulds and put on barrierswith less footprint, so that’s the benefits of being light. daniel: yeah that was the first time i’veoperated and picked up something and it’s definitely harder than it looks. daniel: so what’s this crane? mani: this is our p&h 125 tonne yard crane.it’s served its purpose out on our sites back in the day and now it’s back in ouryard and does all our precast lifts. daniel: so what’s hard about driving thesecranes? mani: you have to have the ability to be ableto multi task your hands and try and do more
than three things at the same time as wellas be able to predict hazards as they arise. clinton: modern cranes are complex and driversneed to commit themselves to considerable training. the skills organisation is thereto help. john: the qualifications vary from twelvemonths to perhaps 24 months and depending on the equipment they’re using and how technicalthe particular equipment is will depend on the length of the qualification. the supportwe provide to the apprentices and the trainees is varied, including literacy, numeracy, supportwith their reading and then perhaps later in some of the other qualifications that theydo there is also support for perhaps leadership and some management training.
clinton: back in the yard panels are beingmoved. they are extremely heavy and have to be lifted into the vertical position usinga special table. lee: he’s going to sit one set of chainsonto the tilt table, then we’re going to left that tilt table up to almost the vertical,and then the guys goes up on the ladder as we can see here and he’s always hooked onwith an inertia reel to stop him from falling. he goes up there to transfer the chains ontothe concrete panel, the crane operator, stu, up there, is going to be slewing and he’sgoing to be lifting up at the same time to get that panel off the bed and up into a verticalposition. daniel: oh ok, yep, yep.
lee: so we’ve got to slew around over therear of the crane… daniel: yep. lee: and put the panel into the toast rackto support it. clinton: heb are building a section of thenew waikato expressway. the largest structure of the project is the karapiro gulley viaduct.today huge casings are being hammered into the ground. they will provide the foundationsto support the viaduct. mani: what we see here, we’ve got a 280tonne crane here, it’s installing casings up the top here which is obviously going tobe our foundations for our bridge… mani: …they’ll be going maybe 30 to 40metres into the ground.
clinton: before they head down to the site,daniel finds out about the signals used by the crane driver’s dogman, the driver’son ground assistant. mani: so that’s going to be up on the hook,alright? mani: and this is going to be down on thehook. mani: when we luff up, that’s you liftingyour boom up, there’s luff down – take the boom down. mani: the 280 is pretty much the pride ofour fleet but in saying that it’s modern, it’s got every safety feature there is,it’s got cameras but it’s operation isn’t that fast which is perfect for new guys aswell.
clinton: this 280 is around two million dollars’worth of gear, and lucky for daniel, he’s getting the chance to give it a go. mani: this is your main hook, your auxiliary,and your boom… mani: …and they’re quite close togetherso you can actually operate them within your fingers… daniel: oh yep. mani: …so we just slowly go round… mani: …a little bit lower there… mani: …we’re good to slew – we’renot going to hit anything behind us.
mani: if you go up on the hook… mani: feel that click? daniel: yep… daniel: …yeah i feel that… mani: cool eh? mani: the computer side of things, you know,the radius is letting you all know your boom angles, all that, all that’s new. in theold days, you know, all you had, mate, if you were lucky, was a bell telling you, youwere overloaded. now we’ve got traffic lights telling you, once you’re in the – whenyou’re in the orange you’re getting there,
and when you’re in the red, you’re prettymuch down the road. mani: daniel’s shown us some very good promise.he’s light on his hands and he understands what the computer’s about and how the ratingswork and yeah, i thoroughly enjoyed showing him. daniel: yeah it’s been good, it’s beeninteresting, learning lots of things like picking up some objects and moving the cranesround was, yeah, a really good experience. clinton: the skills organisation manages industrytraining for all crane operating jobs. you can start at 16 years old as a generalconstruction hand and work your way up to dogman and then operator.the crane certificate programme has level
3 certificates for dogman and crane operator.training involves a certain amount of theory, but the greater part is hands on.you are part of the future of new zealand with a sense of pride in building somethingnew zealanders use.
