Overhead cranes are suitable for specific repetitive lifting activities. This type of crane has wide ranging capacities. They may be utilized for specialized lifting tasks like for instance installing or removing major plant machinery.

In order to safely operate an overhead crane, personnel have to employ safe rigging practices. This requires both practice and knowledge. The load should be rigged correctly to be able to ensure its stability when raised. Before starting a lifting job, it must be determined that the crane is suitable for the task, with correct capacity, travel and lift. The crane has to be subjected to a thorough visual and physical check before use. The capacity of all machines, including the hardware, rope and slings, must never exceed load weight capacities.

Before using the rigger needs to know which sling is best for each lift and be able to inspect the rigging gear and hardware. The communications which are utilized with the crane operator should be concise and clear. A signaler has to be designated for the role and signals should be agreed upon. The crane operator must follow instructions only from the chosen individual. If a remote or wired controller is being used, the operator must be trained in all its functions.

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