Each person who wants to operate overhead cranes must first obtain UDT qualifications. These are licenses for gantries that can be obtained after enrolling in the course for gantries. This type of UDT training provides participants with comprehensive knowledge on safe work with overhead cranes. The training ends with an exam before the committee of the Office of Technical Inspection.
We invite you to the gantry course - the price and dates of the classes are presented on our website. We conduct our UDT courses in the city of Warsaw, where our main branch is located, as well as in other cities in Poland.
