CMAA Crane duty classification has set up a standard for crane classifications that are used to help define the use of a crane. These standards are based on capacity and usage and help us to select the right hoist and crane for your operations. Accepted as the industry norm in Canada, US, and Mexico they help to insure standards are in place across manufacturer’s and installers, which ensures that the end user has a crane lifting system that matches their needs.
