What type of equipment can you operate with a 2A License?

A 2A License specifically governs the operation of hoisting equipment and is designed for specific types of machinery. In Massachusetts, the 2A License enables the operation of hoisting equipment with a capacity of one ton or less and is primarily limited to certain smaller equipment types. This includes certain types of lifts, but does not extend to heavier machinery.

Therefore, the other options listed—forklifts over 4000 lbs., backhoes, skid steers, and track excavators—go beyond the operational capabilities permitted by a 2A License. Each of these types of equipment typically requires a higher level of licensing due to their increased weight and the complexity involved in their operation.

By confirming that none of the listed equipment can be operated with a 2A License, the answer accurately reflects the regulatory framework governing the use of hoisting equipment in Massachusetts.
