The overhead crane has been made to be utilizing performing repetitive lifting activities. This particular kind of crane could be utilized in various capacities. They could be utilized for specialized lifting tasks such as installing or removing major plant machines.

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

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

In order to guarantee the safety of employees, a warning has to be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all hazards before the lift starts. People must not be allowed to walk beneath the lift loads. The crane hoist has to be centered over the load before hoisting to prevent swinging. The safety catch has 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 lifted. Watch that fingers and hands are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Before the lift is carried out, step clear of the danger zone.
