February 15, 2024—In response to requests from the industry, CCO has added a new designation to its Crane Inspector certification to enable CCO certification for Articulating Crane Inspectors. This new designation was developed specifically to address the inspector qualification requirements established by ASME in the B30.22 Articulating Boom Cranes standard. Requirements for certification include at least five years of documented crane-related experience and/or formal technical education and passing rigorous written exams for the certification(s) being pursued. Previously, articulating cranes were inspected under CCO’s Mobile Crane Inspector designation, but articulating cranes fall under a different ASME standard, so using ASME B30.5 was not an ideal solution. This new designation fills that gap.
