Our Facilities
Training facilities built for real-world crane operations. Hands-on classrooms and full-scale equipment areas designed to support professional crane and rigging training at Crane Tech campuses.
Experience Our Facility
Located just outside of Tampa, Florida, Crane Tech’s facility is one of the most comprehensive crane and rigging training centers in the Southeast. Spanning more than two acres and over 20,000 square feet of covered training space, it’s designed to deliver safe, hands-on instruction in a professional, real-world environment.
Built for Real Learning
Our campus combines modern classrooms and full-scale equipment areas for an experience that balances technical understanding with practical skill. Climate-controlled classrooms feature smartboard technology and interactive rigging hardware for hands-on demonstrations, and comfortable seating designed to keep students focused. Just outside, multiple overhead bays, hydraulic cranes, aerial lifts, forklifts, and extensive rigging gear create an environment where classroom theory meets real-world practice.
Hands-On Safety in Action
Safety isn’t just a subject we teach—it’s how we operate every day. All training areas are maintained to the same standards we instruct on, with permanent maintenance staff and dedicated safety protocols. Students train with high-visibility gear, retractable tie-offs, and structured job safety analyses (JSAs) before hands-on sessions begin. Even crane access platforms are custom-designed with steps and handrails, ensuring focus stays on learning, not on risk.
Convenient for Traveling Students
Located just 25 miles from Tampa International Airport, our Brandon facility is easily accessible for out-of-town participants. Nearby lodging, dining, and transportation options make it simple to plan your stay. Open enrollment students arrange their own travel and accommodations, while our team is happy to provide lodging recommendations and local information.
