His move to join the company turned into a life-long passion where his reputation is known throughout the material handling training industry. Bo gained his US Department of Labor Maritime Surveyor accreditation for lifting gear certification in 1984 and as Chief Surveyor in 1990; a position he holds to this day. Bo is a NCCCO Commissioner, has served on numerous NCCCO task forces, and sits on the Mobile Crane Written Exam Management committee and the Rigging Management committee. While Bo remains active in the day-to-day operations his passion, and what he describes as his primary responsibility, is ensuring that every service Crane Tech provides is of the highest quality, with an uncompromised commitment to technical accuracy, and efficiency for the end user.

Instructional Team

Crane Tech instructors have a passion to teach others in the material handling industry how to work safely, while providing a dynamic learning environment. Every trainer has a minimum of 15 years of hands-on field experience operating and/or inspecting cranes and heavy equipment, and most progressed to the position of supervisor or manager prior to becoming an instructor. Our instructors have undergone the most stringent testing and qualification process in the industry—passing an interview that includes a minimum of six-hours of technical content testing and spending 60 to 90 days under senior leadership learning to provide training in accordance with Crane Tech policies and expectations. In addition, all Crane Tech field personnel are professional in approach and demeanor; further ensuring the quality of service they provide is second to none.
