The overhead crane has been made to be used performing repetitive hoisting activities. This type of crane can be used in many capacities. They could be utilized for specialized lifting tasks such as installing or removing major plant machines.

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

The rigger needs to know the right sling for every lift and inspect slings and other rigging hardware before utilizing. Clear signals should be used in communications with the crane operator. A signaler should be designated for the role and signals must be agreed upon. The operator of the crane has to follow instructions only from the designated person. If a remote or wired controller is being used, the operator should be trained in all its functions.

Before whichever lifting begins, the path of the load should be cleared of all obstacles and a warning sign should be issued to guarantee the safety of the workers. Pedestrian are not under any circumstance allowed to walk under the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load before lifting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch needs to be closed instantly after sliding the sling entirely onto the hoisting hook. Sling legs that 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. Before the lift is made, step clear of the danger zone.
