    MA hoisting renewal, can I drive waiting on license to come in?

    I renewed my license in a timely fashion. As soon as they sent me the documents I went ahead and did whatever I needed to. Had to do MA and RI at the same time. I got my RI renewal back within a week of sending it. My MA has not come yet. But they cashed my check almost a month ago. So am I...

    MA hoising license renewal

    Does anyone know if they send me the renewal form or not? I just got mine from Rhode Island, but forget if MA mails it out to or if I need to do it all on my own. RI isn't having me do any continuing education or DOT physical either. Just want to be ahead of game so no lapsing in licenses.

    844 lull issue

    Not exactly sure how to describe it. But it seems on most 844 lulls that if you have the boom raised up and level the machine sometimes coming down something locks up and causes the machine to jerk. I think something in one of the pistons to level the machine gets locked up. That's best I can...

    Rhode Island hoisting license fees?

    So I just passed the test I took last Wednesday for my RI license. Today I get a notice from them saying I need to pay $70 for the license? I thought that was part of the test fee? I want to say when I did my license for MA it was test and license for one fee. Or maybe I am wrong?

    Discontinuing the Lull

    Did a overview class at work with a rental guy to refresh us on telehandlers. He mentioned that they are discontinuing the Lull brand. That's really too bad I think, cause those are some good machines. I looked and I guess 2015 will be last year of production. I guess they built so many and they...

    More changes to MA hosting renewal process

    Just got the email that they have changed things again. They had required continuing education certificate to be sent with any renewal after May 1, 2014, now they have extended it to September 1, 2014. I am definitely not thrilled because I had started the process already. But upon being in...

    Lull horn assembly issue, how to fix?

    I am an operator for a masonry company and the machine they just rented has a issue with it's horn. It's nothing worth calling the rental company.

    Where does one find out some of these things for licensing test?

    Just took my 2A test today. I was hoping to do 1C/2A in MA, but someone on here told me to fill out form and check off both. Well that didn't work as they told me. It says on application to only check one, but this person was insistent that it didn't matter. Wish I had not listened to them...

There are a couple schools in the area that offer classes. One school offers everything all in one class-Stick, Mig and Tig for $425...
