The overhead crane has been made to be used doing repetitive lifting activities. This type of crane could be used in many capacities. They could be used for specialized hoisting tasks such as removing or installing major plant machines.

In order to safely operate an overhead crane, workers need to employ safe rigging practices. This requires both knowledge and practice. The load must be rigged correctly in order to guarantee its stability when hoisted. Prior to starting a lifting task, it must be determined that the crane is suitable for the job, with correct lift, capacity and travel. The crane must be subjected to a thorough physical and visual check before utilization. The capacity of all machinery, including the rope, slings and hardware, must never exceed load weight capacities.

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

To guarantee the safety of workers, a warning has to be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all obstructions before the lift starts. Individuals should not be allowed to walk underneath the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load before hoisting to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed immediately after sliding the sling fully onto the lifting hook. Sling legs which are not utilized must be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being hoisted. Watch that hands and fingers are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Before the lift is made, step clear of the danger zone.
