Hi newb question: why is the one handed signal for extend boom used with the thumb pointing toward you? I would think it would be extend boom=thumb away….

[@CraneTrainingChannel]

Good question, Kyle, this is because hand signals need to be communicated from the perspective of the operator.

[@briancooper562]

One extra! Goes with any motion signal. Touch chin with hand not showing motion. Move only a whisker. Used when trying to align close fits or clearances. Can be used with all cranes, jibed or OHTC.

It may seem overwhelming, but we actually teach a signalperson course where you will master all the signs in just one day! Let us know if you are interested in learning more.

Yeah the two companies I worked for didn't use half those signals.

[@CraneTrainingChannel]

Thank you for the reply! Depending on the line of work you are in, there are times where not all signals are used. However, when communicating in the field, the standard signals must be used. If your job site has developed additional communication gestures, no alternate signal may be used that conflicts with the standard signal. We hope this clears things up, let us know if you have any questions.
