Last week we were busy with crane testing here at Robinson! Several of our team members stepped up to complete their practical crane exams as part of the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) process. To become certified, each operator must pass a written core exam as well as a specialty practical exam for each type of crane.

We’re proud of their hard work and dedication to safety and excellence. Congratulations to all who participated!
