Written from a recent sitting

The author added Lattice Boom certification recently, on top of fifteen years running mobile cranes and existing telescopic boom certifications. That means this guide reflects the current exam format rather than a recollection of one taken a decade ago, and it draws on real scenarios from large equipment projects.

Before you register

Lattice boom cranes carry two written designations, LBC for crawler mounted and LBT for truck mounted. Check the CCO Mobile Crane Operator Candidate Handbook at nccco.org to confirm which one matches the machine you intend to operate.

Every candidate also sits the Core exam. The Core guide is sold separately, or together with this guide in the Complete Mobile Crane Certification Bundle.
