All-Terrain Crane Pilot Project Update Webinar

Crane Rental Association of Canada is seeking an amendment to pilot project from Alberta Transportation

The Crane Rental Association of Canada (CRAC) is hosting a webinar presentation regarding the two-year All-Terrain Cranes Pilot Project. CRAC is currently seeking an amendment with Alberta Transportation and is hosting a webinar to demonstrate the importance of this request. The webinar will be hosted April 20 at 10:30 am. 

CRAC is asking to limit the current pilot project to:

  • 3, 4, and 5 axle cranes.
  • Allow these cranes to operate with dollies at the permitted pilot project weights.

This will restrict larger cranes (6,7, and 8 axle) to the current legislated weight restrictions.

CRAC believes that restricting the pilot project to 3, 4, and 5 axle all-terrain cranes with dollies will focus the pilot. At the end of the pilot project, the larger 6 and 7 axle all-terrain cranes will be assessed and could be included in review of the current legislation.

The following presenters will provide in depth information and answer questions.

  • Claire Bélanger-Parker, Executive Director
  • Trevor Eckert, VP Sterling Crane & Chair, Boom Dolly Research Committee (BDRC)
  • Mike Lavoie, Operations Manager, Myshak Crane & Rigging, BDRC member

Register for the webinar in advance.
