YOKE INDUSTRIAL CORP - Rigging Course

LCPD-2025-35

0.5 Credits

5 Hours

Driving Lifting Standards in South Africa

Importantly, LEEASA membership alone does not automatically confer the status of a validated CPD service provider. Companies must complete a formal verification process under the ECSA CPD framework to be recognised as CPD providers capable of issuing ECSA-recognised CPD credits. CPD activities recognised by LEEASA count toward statutory CPD requirements for maintaining professional registration, with participants entitled to one CPD point for every eight hours of training.

 

Steven Hong, President at YOKE, stated: “We continue to focus on the development of Africa, enjoying strong support in South Africa’s mining and manufacturing industries. Beyond our traditional markets, we see growth potential in sectors such as oil and gas, automotive, and construction. LEEASA membership, combined with a commitment to CPD, is essential to the ongoing improvement of industry best practices. For companies, engineers, and end users, staying professionally registered, compliant, and safe has never been more important.”

 

LEEASA membership complements, but is separate from, YOKE’s membership with the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA), the leading global trade association for the lifting industry. Hong added: “LEEA focuses on international lifting standards, guidance, and training frameworks, while LEEASA aligns closely with South African legislation, ECSA requirements, and local CPD structures. Together, they offer global consistency and local relevance, sharing a common goal of safety, competence, and professionalism.”

CR ENG - Overhead Cranes - Inspection, Maintenance & Testing : SANS 10375

Training, on all levels, on all risks.

Training: Crane and lifting masterclasses

Effective risk management begins with knowing where to focus and what threats to identify. CrEng has pinpointed a gap in our industry’s fundamental stage of training. Training of cranes and hoists is limited, neglected and not effective due to …

– Limited access to cranes onsite for training
– Onboarding & access (of service providers)
– Risk accessing operational cranes
– Cost to get training personnel on site
– Limited functionality and fault finding 
– Boardroom training (not immersive)
– Sub-standard training material

Masterclasses

The focus of these condensed courses is to bring perspective and provide insight on various lifting topics often misunderstood or overlooked in general. Understanding key concepts and underlying principles as well as requirements and related technical standards assists asset managers and owners to adequately address risk in the light of limited resources and time.

Workshops

Training “workshops” includes all necessary training material (albeit more condensed and summarized), through collaboration with various industry experts providing insight into practical and physical elements that artisans, specialists, technicians and LMIs have to deal with on a day to day basis. By working through a variety of case studies and samples, attendees acquire a deep and thorough understanding of issues pertaining to lifting equipment and maintenance procedures. 

The Solution:

Creng has solved this problem with a mobile training trailer. We now present mobile training that is:

  • – In reach & accessible
  • – Customizable as per training needs
  • – Provided by industry professionals
  • – Presents real life faults in a realistic environment

The mobile unit has a custom designed crane complete with a double girder bridge structure, open winch hoist and all requisite safety devices and sensors. The power supply is completely off gird, sporting large platforms which can accommodate up to 15 people.

This unit eliminates hidden costs, as well as the need for:

  • – Working at Heights (WAH) training/permits
  • – Safety files
  • – Onboarding
  • – Travelling for attendees

CrEng provides training on:

  • Crane Audits – Crane specialists, engineers & management
  • Inspections & maintenance – Artisans & technicians
  • Masterclasses – Engineers, specialists, technicians & safety personnel
  • Logbooks & Legal – Artisans, technicians, engineers, specialists & safety personnel
