Overhead cranes are best for particular repetitive lifting activities. This kind of crane has wide ranging capacities. They may be used for specialized lifting tasks like removing or installing major plant machines.

Operators and worker must employ safe rigging practices in order to safely operate an overhead crane. This would need both knowledge and practice because the load must be properly rigged to guarantee its stability when lifted. Prior to starting a hoisting task, it must be determined that the crane is right for the job, with right travel, lift and capacity. The crane must be subjected to a thorough physical and visual check before use. The capacity of all machinery, including the slings, hardware and rope, should never go over load weight capacities.

The rigger should know the correct sling for each and every lift and check slings and other rigging hardware prior to utilizing. Clear signals have to be used in communications with the crane operator. A signaler should be designated for the role and signals need to be agreed upon. The operator of the crane should follow instructions from the chosen individual only. If a remote or wired controller is being utilized, the operator must be trained in all its functions.

Before whichever lifting starts, the path of the load must be cleared of all obstructions and a warning sign must be issued to ensure the safety of the personnel. Pedestrian are not under any circumstance allowed to walk underneath the lift loads. The crane hoist has to be centered over the load before lifting to prevent swinging. The safety catch should be closed instantly after sliding the sling fully onto the lifting hook. Unused sling legs 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. Before the lift is made, step clear of the danger zone.
