Inspect all slings, chains, and hooks that will be used to lift and secure the load. Properly secure the loads that you will be lifting. Load indicating devices, called load moment devices, can prevent an accidental overload. If you are unsure about the load size and weight, calculate the weight to ensure that it meets your crane’s capacity. Never exceed the load capacity of the mobile crane. Wear hard hats, safety boots, and high visibility clothing when operating or working around cranes.įalling loads from mobile cranes pose a severe hazard to operators and nearby workers. Get proper training on crane operation and load preparation and securing. Be aware of the hazards if you operate or work around mobile cranes. Mobile cranes are responsible for the most accidents, injuries, and fatalities of all of the crane types.
