Occupation context

These O*NET tasks describe the occupation. They provide context for this SOC mapping, but do not mean every listed Skill performs every task.

Determine load weights and check them against lifting capacities to prevent overload.
Move levers, depress foot pedals, or turn dials to operate cranes, cherry pickers, electromagnets, or other moving equipment for lifting, moving, or placing loads.
Inspect and adjust crane mechanisms or lifting accessories to prevent malfunctions or damage.

O*NET task statements are shown in their source language (English). Task data excerpted from the O*NET® 29.1 Database (USDOL/ETA) and used under CC BY 4.0.

crane-tower-operator

wonsukchoi/domain-experts

Use when a task needs the judgment of a Crane and Tower Operator — deciding whether current gust readings require a stand-down given a specific load's sail area, running a blind lift through a signal person when the pick or landing zone is outside the cab's sightline, reading a fixed installation's load chart at the counterweight/jib configuration actually installed, calculating each crane's load share on a two-crane tandem pick, or judging when to set the jib to free-slew ahead of a wind event.

machine-11-autonomous-port-straddle-carrier-ship-to-shore-crane

TuringWorks/civstack

Non-humanoid autonomous machine for the Transportation operating system: **Autonomous port straddle carrier & ship-to-shore crane** — stack, move, and load containers at the quay and yard. Best in: container ports and intermodal terminals. A self-driving/self-operating platform whose planning brain issues physical actions as tool calls (perception-to-control trained on world models, simulation, and RLAIF) inside a defined ODD with teleoperation fallback. Use this skill to plan or operate the platform; trigger whenever this physical work is needed, even if only described.
