NCCCO Telescopic Boom (TSS/TLL) Specialty Exam Guide

The specialty exam for the crane most operators actually run. After the Core, the TSS and TLL exams test your knowledge of telescopic boom cranes: load charts, outrigger configurations, boom setup, and the safe operating practice specific to mobile cranes.

What you get

• A complete telescopic boom specialty guide organized by exam topic
• Load chart analysis that explains how to read a chart, not just what to memorize
• Outrigger setup scenarios and best practice
• Boom configuration for different job site conditions
• Safety practice specific to mobile cranes
• Instant PDF download, readable on any device

Written by an operator certified on both

The author holds NCCCO certification on telescopic boom cranes in both small and large configurations and operates these machines regularly. The guide is built around situations you meet on a job site rather than test trivia.

Before you register

TSS and TLL are the two telescopic boom designations, covering swing cab and fixed cab machines. Check the CCO Mobile Crane Operator Candidate Handbook at nccco.org to confirm which one matches the crane 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.
