IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR MAKING A SAFE LIFT

  • Know the weight of the load.
  • Know the radius of the load.
  • Use the shortest boom possible.
  • Stay within the lifting capacity chart of the crane.
  • Avoid sudden stars and stops.
  • Ensure that the boom tip is directly over the load and the hoist line is vertical.
  • Set the crane up solid and level.

CHECK MACHINE STABILITY BEFORE LIFTING LOADS

  • Ensure that outriggers (or tires, if lifting on rubber) are firmly positioned on solid surfaces.
  • Machine leveled.
  • Carrier brakes are set.
  • The load is properly rigged and attached to the hook.
