About HDS cranes

Cranes are machines commonly used for handling work. Nowadays there are several different types of cranes, adapted to work in different conditions. One of these is cranes using a hydraulic crane, commonly referred to as HDS cranes.  

In Poland, hydraulic cranes are among the devices subject to technical supervision. This means that in order to be able to work with the HDS crane, you must first obtain the appropriate qualifications issued by the Office of Technical Inspection. 

Those wishing to improve their professional competence or that of their employees are encouraged to contact OSO. Our company can pride itself on a very high pass rate, and the training staff responsible for professional courses are ready to prepare each participant to work safely and efficiently with an HDS crane.

What does the training on HDS cranes look like? 

The UDT course on cranes organized at the OSO company consists of theoretical and practical parts and the final exam. 

Passing both parts of the exam with a positive result guarantees trainees qualification benefits allowing them to work as HDS crane operators. As part of the price of the training, everyone who passes the final examination receives a personal certificate, attesting to their newly acquired qualifications. Depending on the individual needs of the trainees, OSO also guarantees, for an additional fee, an additional supplement with a photo, which is needed to work in some countries abroad. 

The qualifications obtained on the course on HDS cranes are valid for 5 years. After this period, they should be renewed by passing the exam again with a positive result. For people who only want to renew their qualifications, the OSO company offers express courses lasting one working day and ending with an exam taken on the same day.
