Manitowoc has extensive training requirements to certify technicians and assure that they are properly equipped to service your machines. Factory training may be completed at the Wilhelmshaven, Germany facility, at the Baudemont facility in France, or in the United States at the Shady Grove, Pennsylvania world training headquarters. Training for our technicians includes equipment operation, diagnostics, maintenance, and repair. The Manitowoc program combines classroom training with on-the-job experience for a thorough understanding of machine maintenance and repair. Safety regulations and procedures are emphasized throughout the training process.
Manitowoc also hosts courses on the functions and performance of specific machines, which include preventive maintenance inspections, adjustments, tests, troubleshooting techniques, and repair procedures. Additional component courses provide more in-depth information for specialized technicians.
Testing is a critical component to these training classes and includes both hands on and written reviews of systems, such as electrical, pneumatics, hydraulics, ECOS control systems, load moment indicator (LMI) systems, crane safety systems, EKS computer monitoring for lifting systems, and mechanical systems. Some of the tests require timed performance. Certificates are awarded upon successful completion of training.
Manitowoc offers training classes at our facility. We provide skill training for operating a variety of machines and equipment to assure that best practices are used on-site with proper operating techniques and that the range of each machine’s capabilities is understood.
