I was not educated on load charts, electrical power lines or any of the OSHA regulations. What I learned was self acquired and through the help of concerned customers.</div> <bR> <div> After about 8 years of operating a crane, I took a job working for a company that moved heavy equipment all across the United States and assembled it on site for Mining companies.  Again training was scarce.  In fact, none of these companies or job sites required any other training or certification than I already had acquired.  </div> <bR> <div> After another 2 years I started my own business, King's Crane Service, with my wife and two sons Ronald and Bryan.  Since they were still in school at the time, they learned how to repair cranes before they were even old enough to operate them.</div> <bR> <div> (My daughter went on to pursue her goal of becoming a registered nurse.)</div> <div>  </div> <div> We owned a little country store were my wife, Pat, would take the crane calls as well as run the store. </div> <bR> <div> The crane service was growing and I now found myself training my own operators.  The first three operators I trained were sons of three women who worked with Pat at the country store.  Needless to say, we were a very close company.</div> <bR> <div> After about 3 years our crane business was doing well enough, so we sold our country store and just rented cranes.</div> <bR> <div> My two sons were now becoming operators and I did not want them to learn the way I had to, so I began a training program much like the local union offered.  Our training program seemed to work as well as any other program offered at this point.  But as King's Crane Service grew, I found and implemented new and better ways of training our operators.</div> <div>   </div> <div> King's Crane Service was located in Cincinnati, Ohio and offered crane rental, trucking, shipping, rigging and <I><B>now safety training</B></I>.  Many of our customers found after learning more about cranes they could save more on their crane rentals.</div> <bR> <div> We grew from just 3 cranes to:  20 cranes, 10 truck tractors, 5 flat bed trucks, 10 pick up trucks, 25 trailers, and other related equipment.  It wasn't very long until we also had K.C. Rigging Co., which, while entrusted to my oldest son Ronald, prospered and eventually split off from King's Crane Service.</div> <bR> <div> After about 25 years of being in business, we got big enough our competition just had to have us, so Maxim Crane Works of Pittsburgh acquired King's Crane Service along with Carlisle Equipment Co. and many others across the nation. </div> <bR> <div> After the purchase of King's Crane Service, Maxim Crane Works hired me back me as a Safety Director and trainer to certify crane operators nation wide. This took about two years to do, after which I started K.C. Training Technology.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
