The overhead crane has been made to be utilizing doing repetitive lifting activities. This particular kind of crane could be utilized in many capacities. They may be used for specialized lifting tasks such as installing or removing major plant machinery.

Operators and worker must employ safe rigging practices in order to safely operate an overhead crane. This would require both practice and knowledge because the load must be properly rigged to guarantee its stability when hoisted. Prior to starting a lifting job, it must be determined that the crane is right for the task, with right lift, capacity and travel. The crane should be subjected to a thorough visual and physical check before use. The capacity of all equipment, including the rope, slings and hardware, must never exceed load weight capacities.

Before utilizing the rigger must know what sling is best for every lift and must check the rigging hardware and gear. The communications that are utilized with the crane operator need to be concise and clear. A signaler has to be designated for the role and signals should be agreed upon. The operator of the crane must follow instructions from the designated person only. If a wired or remote controller is being utilized, the operator must be trained in all its functions.

To guarantee the safety of personnel, a warning should be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all hazards before the lift starts. Individuals must not be allowed to walk below the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load prior to hoisting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed instantly after sliding the sling entirely onto the hoisting hook. Sling legs that are not utilized should be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being lifted. Watch that fingers and hands are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Before the lift is made, step clear of the danger zone.
