Non Slewing Crane Ticket
The non-slewing crane ticket (CN - TLILIC0040) at Shamrock Training is the High Risk Work Licence required to legally operate non-slewing mobile cranes with a capacity greater than three tonnes, including vehicle-mounted knuckle boom and telescopic cranes on building sites, civil projects, and anywhere truck-mounted non-slewing cranes are in operation. The course runs over five days from the Northgate Brisbane training centre near Brisbane Airport, with workers travelling from across Queensland to complete their CN licence.
No prerequisites are required, and you walk away with your CN licence and a same-day Statement of Attainment upon successful completion - the legal authorisation that principal contractors and site supervisors require before you operate the machine on any Australian worksite. Book your class at Northgate or call to confirm your next available course date.

Who Needs a Non-Slewing Crane Ticket?
Anyone required to operate a non-slewing mobile crane with a capacity greater than 3 tonnes as part of their work must hold a valid CN High Risk Work Licence (TLILIC0040).
This includes:
Workers operating vehicle-mounted knuckle boom cranes on construction and civil sites
Workers operating vehicle-mounted telescopic cranes for lifting and load placement
Workers involved in lifting, loading, and moving materials using truck-mounted non-slewing cranes
Anyone directed by their employer to hold a CN HRWL before operating on site
The CN licence (TLILIC0040) covers non-slewing mobile cranes with a capacity greater than 3 tonnes, including vehicle-mounted knuckle boom and telescopic cranes. The course covers the same hazard and risk management processes, load calculations, and communication requirements that apply to all crane operations.
Without a valid CN HRWL, you cannot legally operate a non-slewing mobile crane on any Australian worksite.
