These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 62 topics.
You're looking at a load chart on paper: boom lengths across the top, radii down the side, a bold line, a page of notes. And you don't know where to start.
The manual explains it in paragraphs. Configuration on one page, deductions three pages later, the quadrant tucked into a footnote. Nobody gives you the order.
In this book, that same chart is one page: six boxes in a row, configuration, quadrant, boom length, radius, gross capacity, deductions, and one arrow to net capacity.
Same with the rest: the 20-foot rule, sling angles, load weight, the stop signal, the shift inspection. Each one has its own page.
You see the steps, you run them in order, and you get to the number without flipping back through the manual.
The rules and the exam, the machine and the set-up, the load chart in 6 steps, load weights and rigging, hand signals, power lines and site hazards, inspections and safety devices, and exam-day review: 66 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
You're in the seat and the lift director gives you the pick: 60-foot radius, jib stowed, load over the side. You need a capacity, and you need it right.
In the book you open the 6-steps page and it's drawn: six boxes in order, from configuration to deductions, ending in net capacity.
Same for the 20-foot rule, load per leg, the stop signal, the shift walkaround and the LMI: each one on its own page.
Mobile Crane Operator Illustrated is 66 pages in 8 parts, all drawn, and it closes with an exam-day review: the 6 steps on one card, numbers to know cold and a signals self-test.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
Who writes the rules (OSHA, ASME, the manufacturer), what 1926.1427 requires, how the written exam is built, who decides what on a lift, units and symbols.
Crane types, parts of a telescopic boom, the radius–boom length–boom angle triangle, why radius grows, ground conditions, outrigger pads, leveling and counterweight.
The 6 steps in order, each step on its own page, structural vs. stability, stowed vs. erected jib, parts of line, chart notes and a full worked example on a fictitious chart.
Estimating load weight, center of gravity, sling angles, load per leg, hitches, wire rope, synthetic and chain slings, hardware and tag lines.
Signal rules, hoist and lower, main hoist vs. whipline, boom signals, combined signals, swing and travel, voice and radio.
The 20-foot rule, Table A clearances, encroachment prevention, power line contact, swing radius control, wind, assembly and disassembly, personnel and multiple-crane lifts.
Shift, monthly and annual inspections, the walkaround, wire rope on the crane, required safety devices, operational aids and why the LMI is not the load chart.
The 6 steps on one page, the most common chart mistakes, numbers to know cold, a signals self-test, a pre-lift checklist and test day.
At the end of the book: A full worked example on a fictitious load chart, a signals self-test and the 6 steps on one printable card.
Exam-style questions with answers explained, so you find out what you really know before test day, not during it.
The most common load chart and rigging errors (wrong radius, wrong quadrant, forgotten deductions), each drawn on one card so you can review them in minutes.

Yes. It doesn't teach you to run the machine; you already do that. It puts the paper side in order: load charts, rigging math, signals and the rules, one topic per page, every number with its OSHA or ASME citation. Your manufacturer's manual covers your crane, and free videos each show a different method. This gives you one order you run on paper, the same way every time. It also works if you're a rigger or signalperson moving into the seat.
From OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC (including the Appendix A hand signals) and ASME B30.5, B30.9 and B30.26. Every number comes with its citation. The load chart in the book is fictitious and made for practice.
No. It's independent study material, written for mobile crane operators in the United States and checked against OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC and ASME B30. It isn't published, endorsed or approved by OSHA, ASME, NCCCO, any certifying body or any crane manufacturer, and it doesn't reproduce exam questions.
No. It doesn't give you a certificate or a card, and it doesn't replace training, certification by an accredited body, your employer's evaluation, or your crane's load chart and operator's manual. It's for studying and reviewing the paper side.
No. They're written for this book, in exam style, with the answers explained. They aren't official questions from any exam.
The book and the 2 bonus books come as PDFs by email, to the address you enter at checkout.
No. It's a one-time payment.
Yes. It's a printable PDF: print the whole book, or just the pages you want, like the 6-step card for your truck.
