Hydraulics License

GeeMC · Mar 13, 2003

Hi Everyone :waving:

I was wondering if you need your hydraulics license to operate a back hoe or a bob cat? Some one told me that if you own the equipment, you don’t need the license, but if you are just an operator, you need to be qualified with one. Is this pretty much the standard around the country or is this just a Massachusetts thing?

We are looking into the future here a little but, Jason (son) has some contacts for snow removal on a couple of commercial lots as well as some excavation work on the off season.

Thanks for the input,

Bruce

Lighten up there some Jim,I was only poking some fun at your situation there compared to the majority of our states who thankfully have no such tests for operating iron.As always with politicians,if they can spin one iota of some reasoning behind something they will figure out how to raise money at our expense.

tuney443,

Not sure, but no offense intended. I was not replying to your comment, I was responding to mws_1984. I do agree though, it's about time Beacon and Capital Hill arecleaned out with a Revolution.

Scuba,

You may be better off starting another thread. I just Googled RI Hoisting License and it looks like you know more than I do/what was on the first page on Google. Mass Hoisting license is 1A Lattice Boom Cranes, 1B Hydraulic telescoping boom with wire rope, 1C Hydraulic telescoping boom without wire rope, 2A Excavators 2B Backhoes 2C Wheel loaders/skidsteers, 3A and 4A various specialized equipment. Rhode Island looks like they are set up more like a CDL. It also says you do need a DOT medical card
