Vehicle Loading Crane + Dogging Bundle

Vehicle loading cranes work close to the truck, often on tight delivery sites where a second dogger is not always available. Holding both tickets means the operator can assess the load, sling it, and run the crane themselves, which keeps smaller deliveries moving without a second booking. Both tickets sit inside our High Risk Work Licence range, and this is one of the more common pairings within it.

Who does this bundle suit? Truck-mounted crane operators, transport and logistics staff who load and unload as part of the job, and employers who want one crew member covering both roles instead of rostering a dedicated dogger for every VLC job.

For a student, training both tickets in one enrolment means you are not stuck holding a crane licence and waiting on a second booking to cover the dogging side. The dogging half of this bundle sits inside our Dogging and Rigging category, alongside every other combination built around directing a lift, so the skills carry across if you move onto other crane work later. A worker who holds both tickets can load, sling, and direct the lift without handing part of the job to someone else.

For an employer, one crew member covering both roles means fewer people to roster for a straightforward delivery job, and less time lost waiting on a second person to arrive before a lift can go ahead. It also puts that worker in a stronger position for transport and logistics roles that list both tickets as a requirement, rather than treating them as separate hires.

Training runs at our Yatala campus across 9 to 10 days, with both practical assessments sitting inside the same block rather than two separate intakes booked weeks apart.

Want to step up to a bigger crane class later? Our Non-Slewing Crane Licence is a common next move for VLC operators who want a heavier lifting ticket once the dogging side of the job is already covered.
