I don't have one and am not familiar with it, but if its like everything else TMCC you connect the common which is the signal carrier and program the item as an accessory.  When you want to use it you address it as you would an engine but using ACC.  This is an outright guess but follows the usual method.

Did you look at the manual for the crane?  They have clear wiring instructions.  If you don't have the manual, it's available in PDF form from Lionel's website.
