You need a state issued license to operate a crane in MA. We recommend you apply online for the hoisting engineer exams for faster processing. PLEASE BE ADVISED: MA will no longer be sending you a card as of August 1, 2023 – instead it will be in the same system as the test application and renewal process.

Cranes101 offers MA-specific and nationally accredited crane licensing, which is required for operators. If your operators need licensing, please contact us to set up a class for them at your site, on your equipment.
The Crane Rule update also requires that your operators, in addition to a license, be qualified on the equipment they run on the job-site. Cranes101 can perform those qualifications on-site.
