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

To safely use an overhead crane, workers must employ safe rigging practices. This needs both practice and knowledge. The load should be rigged correctly to be able to guarantee its stability when hoisted. Prior to beginning a hoisting task, it must be determined that the crane is suitable for the task, with correct travel, lift and capacity. The crane must be subjected to a thorough physical and visual inspection before utilization. The capacity of all machines, including the slings, hardware and rope, must never go over load weight capacities.

Before using the rigger has to know what sling is best for each lift and should check the rigging gear and hardware. The communications that are utilized with the crane operator must be clear and concise. A signaler needs to be chosen for the role and signals need to be agreed upon. The operator of the crane must follow directions just from the chosen individual. If a remote or wired controller is being used, the operator should be trained in all its functions.

To ensure the safety of personnel, a warning must be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all obstructions before the lift starts. Individuals must not be allowed to walk beneath the lift loads. The crane hoist needs to be centered over the load prior to lifting to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed immediately after sliding the sling fully onto the hoisting hook. Unused sling legs should 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. Before the lift is carried out, step clear of the danger zone.
