The overhead crane has been built to be used performing repetitive hoisting activities. This type of crane could be used in many capacities. They could be utilized for specialized hoisting tasks like for example removing or installing major plant equipment.

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

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

Prior to whichever lifting starts, the path of the load should be cleared of all obstructions and a warning sign should be issued to be able to ensure the safety of the staff. Pedestrian are not under any circumstance allowed to walk below the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load prior to lifting to prevent swinging. The safety catch needs to be closed immediately after sliding the sling fully 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 fingers and hands are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Before the lift is made, step clear of the danger zone.
