What is a Non slewing mobile crane?

Non-slewing mobile crane means a mobile crane incorporating a boom or jib that cannot be slewed, and Includes:

  • articulated type mobile cranes
  • locomotive cranes
  • A non-slewing telehandler (over three tonnes capacity, fitted with a boom and/or jib with a hoist rope and/or hook block)

What are the slewing mobile crane licences? (C2, C6, C1, C0)

A slewing mobile crane means a mobile crane incorporating a boom jib that is capable of being slewed. This excludes front end loader, backhoe, excavator and other earthmoving equipment when configured for crane operation.

There are four classes of slewing mobile cranes each with a different capacity:

  • up to 20 tonnes (C2) - incorporating CN & CV classes
  • up to 60 tonnes (C6) - incorporating C2, CN & CV classes
  • up to 100 tonnes (C1) - incorporating C6, C2, CN & CV classes
  • over 100 tonnes capacity (C0) - incorporating C1, C6, C2, CN & CV classes

If a slewing telehandler is fitted with a boom and/or jib with a hoist rope and/or hook block, a C2, C6, C1 or C0 high risk work licence is required, dependent on the telehandler's rated capacity.
