Is special certification or licensing needed to rent a piece of equipment from UELC?

Many of the UELC units require a CDL license. There are also special operator certification and licenses needed to operate some of the cranes or derricks in the UELC fleet. Information on this can be found on the OSHA website.

Are there any recent standard changes that I should be aware of?

New OSHA standards for cranes and derricks went into effect in November, 2010. Please see the Terex Product Advisory for information.
