Course Overview

This nationally accredited course is designed for individuals seeking a High-Risk Work Licence to operate a personnel and materials hoist (HP class)—commonly referred to as an Alimak hoist.

What is a Personnel Hoist?

A personnel hoist (also known by the brand name Alimak) is a hoisting system used to lift workers and materials vertically on construction sites. These may include cantilever hoists, tower hoists, or hoists with multiple winch operations.

⚠️ Please note: A HP Licence permits the operation only of the hoist. Installation, dismantling, or maintenance must be carried out by a licensed rigger or scaffolder.

Also, the HP Licence includes the privileges of the HM (materials hoist) licence. However, a holder of an HM Licence cannot operate a HP hoist.
