Overhead cranes are suitable for specific repetitive hoisting activities. This type of crane has wide ranging capacities. They may be used for specialized lifting jobs such as installing or removing major plant machines.

To safely make use of an overhead crane, staff must employ safe rigging practices. This requires both knowledge and practice. The load should be rigged correctly to guarantee its stability when hoisted. Before beginning a lifting job, it must be determined that the crane is suitable for the task, with correct lift, capacity and travel. The crane needs to be subjected to a thorough visual and physical check before utilization. The capacity of all machinery, including the hardware, rope and slings, must never exceed load weight capacities.

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

To be able to ensure the safety of personnel, a warning should be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all obstacles before the lift begins. People must not be allowed to walk below the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load prior to hoisting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed instantly after sliding the sling entirely onto the lifting hook. Sling legs that are not utilized must be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being hoisted. Watch that fingers and hands are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Step clear of the danger zone before the lift is carried out.
