An overhead crane is a crane having a movable bridge with a hoisting system which glides atop a fixed overhead runway. Operating an overhead crane is no child’s play. These cranes are robust machines capable of moving enormous weight and heavy objects from one place to another.
Even a second’s inattentiveness or carelessness can lead to gruesome accidents if the operator doesn’t know the proper safety options on bridge cranes.
Additionally, there are vital maintenance procedures which play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of overhead cranes. It is therefore imperative to be very careful while operating these monstrous machines and all safety procedures must be correctly followed.
While working an overhead crane, the correct Overhead Cranes safety options can help you avert costly injuries and life-threatening disabilities. Before you begin to use the bridge crane, read the operating manual thoroughly as each crane has its individual specifications. Even then, there are certain general procedures applicable during use of any overhead crane.
Maintenance is another vital area about which most of us become complacent over time. This can be a fatal mistake which can cost you in terms of time, money and health. Thorough inspections are a must every time you think of using your overhead crane. Take a quick look at the outside of the machine to check for any loose ends or hanging components.
Start the crane and check for any abnormal sounds or movements from the hoist, bridge or trolley. Ensure that the hoist is moving smoothly in all directions in consistence with the control buttons. Moreover, always wear standard harness and protective clothing while inspecting the crane.
