Overhead cranes are best for specific repetitive lifting activities. This type of crane has wide ranging capacities. They could be utilized for specialized hoisting jobs like for example installing or removing major plant machines.

In order to safely operate an overhead crane, personnel must employ safe rigging practices. This requires both knowledge and practice. The load should be rigged correctly to guarantee its stability when lifted. Prior to beginning a lifting task, it should be determined that the crane is suitable for the task, with appropriate lift, capacity and travel. The crane should be subjected to a thorough physical and visual inspection before use. The capacity of all equipment, including the slings, hardware and rope, must never exceed load weight capacities.

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

In order to ensure the safety of staff, a warning needs to be issued and the path of the load must be cleared of all obstructions before the lift begins. People must not be allowed to walk under the lift loads. The crane hoist should be centered over the load before hoisting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch needs to be closed instantly after sliding the sling entirely onto the lifting hook. Unused sling legs should be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being hoisted. Watch that hands and fingers are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Before the lift is made, step clear of the danger zone.
