Gantry Crane Safety Notes

General Use

• Personnel are and will remain clear of the loads at all times.
• The load will not be suspended over personnel at any time.
• Under no circumstances may anyone ride the hook or load. Injuries have occurred under these circumstances.

When Using Gantry Cranes Always

Ensure that;

• The rated load capacity of the crane, hoist, chain, cable, slings, or other components WILL NOT be exceeded.
• The hoist rope is not wrapped around the load.
• Slings, load chains and other lifting devices are securely seated on the hook. (No twist that could cause the load to swing.)
• The hoist is located directly above the load to be lifted.
• The load is properly secured and balanced. This can be checked as the load is lifted slightly. Reposition the sling if required.

General Gantry Safety Continued

• Raise the load sufficiently to clear any obstructions. A minimum clearance of 500 mm should be sufficient.
• Do not push or pull on the load. The load should hang vertically below the hoist at all times.
• Position the hoist directly above where the load is to be placed.
