Even most crane operators don't know them.... Now that we have radio.

I usually use them to tell the operator where to drop the load.

This.

I sorta know them. Been almost a year since the last time we used our crane.

We had a crane refresher course at work last month. Snooze fest for sure. I may never even use one again.

I use them to communicate with the crane operator.

Radios work better.

Nor could you see any of those signals other than maybe “all clear” from most of the operator cabs I’ve worked around.

Make a circle with the thumb and index finger of one hand, while waving a knife hand from side to side across the top of it.

Shit or get off the pot mother fucker.

My friends and I studied them for the test in the rigging package of the dive school we went to at a strip club.
Boom up, boom down, float the load...

The 4-5 of us all got 100% on the test.

People that operate cranes that don't know standard hand signals drive be fucking bannanas.

Make a circle with the thumb and cupped hand as if holding a cup, then use the other hand to knifehand between the thumb and fingers up and down means "can't do this with a cup of coffee in my hand" (go fetch).
