Krankompetanse is written by a crane operator in Norway.
The content is based on practical experience from tower cranes, combined with the Norwegian
regulatory framework for lifting operations: forskrift om utførelse av arbeid under the
Working Environment Act, with Arbeidstilsynet as the supervisory authority.
What you will not find here
- No invented figures. Where a value depends on the machine, the equipment
or the site — wind limits, load charts, inspection intervals — it says so, rather than
giving a number that looks authoritative and does not apply to your situation. - No manuals. Manufacturers’ documentation is copyrighted. We link to the
source instead of hosting it. - No named workplaces. The articles describe experience without identifying
an employer, project or location.
Using this content
The content is for information and discussion. It does not replace training, a lift plan, the
manufacturer’s instructions or current regulations. In case of doubt: the manual for the specific
crane, and Arbeidstilsynet, are what govern.
