Overhead cranes are best for specific repetitive lifting activities. This kind of crane has wide ranging capacities. They can be used for specialized lifting tasks like installing or removing major plant machines.

In order to safely utilize an overhead crane, employees need to employ safe rigging practices. This requires both knowledge and practice. The load should be rigged properly to guarantee its stability when hoisted. Before starting a lifting task, it must be determined that the crane is right for the job, with correct capacity, travel and lift. The crane should be subjected to a thorough physical and visual inspection before utilization. The capacity of all equipment, including the slings, hardware and rope, should never go over load weight capacities.

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

In order to guarantee the safety of employees, a warning should be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all obstructions before the lift begins. Individuals must not be allowed to walk underneath the lift loads. The crane hoist has to be centered over the load before hoisting to prevent swinging. The safety catch should be closed immediately after sliding the sling fully onto the hoisting hook. Sling legs which are not used 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.
