Kevin Urban said he had the impression that cranes are all
licensed by the State and basically have the same restrictions as
the Department of Transportation.
Mayor Reiman said probably on big industrial sites, because it is
required but currently there is no minimum or maximum
statutory requirements for a crane operator. There have been
instances with cranes toppling in New York City and Elizabeth.
Kevin Urban asked if it was with platforms or is that just cranes for
lifting plus what the tonnage was.
Mayor Reiman said it is defined in the Ordinance, it talks about
the minimum and maximum requirements that you have to have,
the certification that they would have to have. He said licensing
would be pursuant to certain state statutes which is 45 -26, also
requires a minimum level of insurance. Right now if someone is
operating a crane on private property, we had to issues in the last
couple years. One was the partial crane collapse, and the other
was the incident where a gentlemen was working on the new
monopole tower in West Carteret. That was also a partial
collapse. He added that we want to make sure that if anyone is
going to be operating this type of equipment in Carteret that they
have a minimum level of insurance.
Kevin Urban said that he didn't know notice but over the bridge
by the big boom where he worked, which is the largest crane in
the world. It's million dollars a day.
Robert J. Bergen, Esq said this requires people to come to the ROBERT J. BERGEN, ESQ.
Borough and verify that they've met all the requirements of the
State Statute.
Mayor Reiman added to put it on file with our Construction MAYOR REIMAN
Office.
