This classification is not applicable to an employer engaged in the actual construction at the same job or location.

Code 9534 applies to specialty contractors exclusively engaged in leasing cranes to others with operators.  The crane operators will operate the cranes at customers’ job sites to hoist machinery and equipment into existing buildings or on construction or erection projects.  Mobile cranes are also used to load or unload trucks or freight cars.

Hoisting of machinery, equipment or materials by specialty rigging service contractors using block and tackle, booms and cranes with rollers placed under items to facilitate moving them into position is also subject to this classification.

Concrete Pumping Exclusively by a Specialty Contractor

This classification also applies to concrete pumping exclusively by a service contractor.  Ready mixed concrete is purchased from suppliers and pumped into the service contractor’s concrete pumping truck.  These types of trucks have controls so that the concrete can be pumped to where it is specified by the employer’s customers at their job sites.  Utilizing the remote controls, the concrete pump operator will steer the concrete pump nozzle to the direction and placement where the ready mixed concrete is required to be dispersed with the amount of concrete specified by their customer.
