Cleveland Crane & Shovel's Carl Goins recently joined an exclusive group of only a handful of technicians who have completed the Manitowoc GMK 8.1 Certification Course, distinguishing himself with the highest test score of 99 percent.

The two day certification, conducted at Manitowoc's facility in Shady Grove, is a battery of tests to prove a technician's ability to troubleshoot, diagnose and resolve issues with both current and post production GMK cranes. The program consisted of both written and hands on testing.

The written portion of the certification course included general knowledge testing on items incurred across all GMK product lines involving a variety of pre-ECOS GMK/KMK crane models, Generation 1 ECOS crane models, Generation 2 ECOS crane models, and any ECOS equipped domestic Grove crane models (TMS 900E & 9000E and the RT9150E).

Hands-on testing covered diagnostics and troubleshooting on a variety of basic and advanced electrical, basic and advanced hydraulics, programming, systems calibration, mechanical operations, and engine, driveline, suspension systems. Where applicable, simulators were used in this portion of the testing.
