Overhead cranes are best for particular repetitive lifting activities. This type of crane has wide ranging capacities. They may be utilized for specialized lifting jobs such as installing or removing major plant machines.

To safely operate an overhead crane, workers need to employ safe rigging practices. This needs both knowledge and practice. The load must be rigged correctly to guarantee its stability when lifted. Prior to starting a hoisting job, it must be determined that the crane is suitable for the task, with appropriate travel, lift and capacity. The crane must be subjected to a thorough visual and physical inspection before utilization. The capacity of all machines, including the slings, hardware and rope, should never go over load weight capacities.

The rigger must know the right sling for every lift and check slings and other rigging hardware before using. Clear signals must be utilized in communications with the crane operator. A signaler has to be designated for the role and signals need to be agreed upon. The crane operator needs to follow instructions from the designated individual only. If a remote or wired controller is being used, the operator should be trained in all its functions.

To guarantee the safety of employees, a warning has to be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all obstructions before the lift starts. People should not be allowed to walk beneath the lift loads. The crane hoist needs to 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 lifting hook. Sling legs that are not utilized must be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being hoisted. Watch that fingers and hands are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Step clear of the danger zone before the lift is made.
