Down in the Mesilla Valley, cranes set irrigation and processing equipment for pecan and chile growers, raise university buildings and support the missile range and spaceport to the north. Our Las Cruces crane operator training lets you prepare for the written exam online, whether you work in town or out toward the border crossings.
Packing sheds, dairies and food plants need equipment set and maintained, often with boom trucks and small hydraulic cranes.
Federal ranges and commercial launch facilities in the Tularosa Basin call for careful, documented picks of sensitive hardware.
Industrial parks near the Santa Teresa port of entry move heavy freight. Our trucking and flatbed crew program covers boom-truck delivery work.
OSHA requires accredited certification for operators of covered construction cranes. Compare the four certifiers in our crane certification guide.
Doña Ana County jobsites fall under New Mexico's own OSHA State Plan, which must be at least as protective as federal OSHA.
Las Cruces does not issue its own crane card, but the state requires operator licensing on top of your accredited certification.

Knuckle-boom trucks deliver and place equipment across farms and processing sites in the valley.

Yes. Companies enroll operators, riggers and signal persons together so everyone learns the same methods. Browse the course store or contact us about multiple seats.
The knowledge portion is: regulations, load charts, rigging and signals. The official written exam and the hands-on practical exam are still taken in person; see how practical training works.
The exams are national, so they don't test local weather. They do test wind limits, ground conditions and inspections, which matter a great deal on hot, sandy southern New Mexico sites.
