production-plant-crane-operator Occupational skill for the role 'production plant crane operator' (also: bottom cat operator, gantry crane technicians, hot-metal crane technicians, production plant electric crane operator, mobile crane technician, wall-crane technician). Use when the user asks for typical production plant crane operator work such as: Move levers, pedals, and throttles to stop, start, and regulate speeds of hoist or winch drums in response to hand, bell, buzzer, telephone, loud-speaker, or whistle signals, or by observing dial indicators or cable marks.; Start engines of hoists or winches and use levers and pedals to wind or unwind cable on drums.; Observe equipment gauges and indicators and hand signals of other workers to verify load positions or depths.

Production Plant Crane Operator
