Operate mechanical boom and cable or tower and cable equipment to lift and move materials, machines, or products in many directions.

Load and unload bundles from trucks, and move containers to storage bins, using moving equipment. Move levers, depress foot pedals, and turn dials to operate cranes, cherry pickers, electromagnets, or other moving equipment for lifting, moving, and placing loads. Review daily work and delivery schedules to determine orders, sequences of deliveries, and special loading instructions. Weigh bundles, using floor scales, and record weights for company records. Clean, lubricate, and maintain mechanisms such as cables, pulleys, and grappling devices, making repairs as necessary. Direct truck drivers backing vehicles into loading bays, and cover, uncover, and secure loads for delivery. Inspect and adjust crane mechanisms and lifting accessories in order to prevent malfunctions and damage. Inspect bundle packaging for conformance to regulations and customer requirements, and remove and batch packaging tickets. Inspect cables and grappling devices for wear, and install or replace cables as needed. Determine load weights and check them against lifting capacities in order to prevent overload. Direct helpers engaged in placing blocking and outrigging under cranes.

Mechanical -- Knowledge of machines and tools, including their designs, uses, repair, and maintenance.

Operation and Control -- Controlling operations of equipment or systems. Equipment Maintenance -- Performing routine maintenance on equipment and determining when and what kind of maintenance is needed.

Multilimb Coordination -- The ability to coordinate two or more limbs (for example, two arms, two legs, or one leg and one arm) while sitting, standing, or lying down.

Oral Expression -- The ability to communicate information and ideas in speaking so others will understand. Far Vision -- The ability to see details at a distance. Manual Dexterity -- The ability to quickly move your hand, your hand together with your arm, or your two hands to grasp, manipulate, or assemble objects. Information Ordering -- The ability to arrange things or actions in a certain order or pattern according to a specific rule or set of rules (e.g., patterns of numbers, letters, words, pictures, mathematical operations). Problem Sensitivity -- The ability to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong. It does not involve solving the problem, only recognizing there is a problem. Gross Body Coordination -- The ability to coordinate the movement of your arms, legs, and torso together when the whole body is in motion. Speed of Limb Movement -- The ability to quickly move the arms and legs.

Controlling Machines and Processes -- Using either control mechanisms or direct physical activity to operate machines or processes (not including computers or vehicles). Handling and Moving Objects -- Using hands and arms in handling, installing, positioning, and moving materials, and manipulating things. Getting Information -- Observing, receiving, and otherwise obtaining information from all relevant sources. Inspecting Equipment, Structures, or Material -- Inspecting equipment, structures, or materials to identify the cause of errors or other problems or defects. Performing General Physical Activities -- Performing physical activities that require considerable use of your arms and legs and moving your whole body, such as climbing, lifting, balancing, walking, stooping, and handling of materials. Monitor Processes, Materials, or Surroundings -- Monitoring and reviewing information from materials, events, or the environment, to detect or assess problems. Communicating with Supervisors, Peers, or Subordinates -- Providing information to supervisors, co-workers, and subordinates by telephone, in written form, e-mail, or in person.
