CRANE Rigging and Lifting Training

A crane is a machine used to move materials both vertically and horizontally, utilizing a system of a boom, hoist, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves for lifting and relocating heavy objects within the swing of its boom. The device uses one or more simple machines, such as the lever and pulley, to create mechanical advantage to do its work. Cranes are commonly employed in transportation for the loading and unloading of freight, in construction for the movement of materials, and in manufacturing f

 Categorize and control lifts according to complexity and risk. There are 2
categories of lift:

Routine Non-Routine

• Routine crane operations • Simple lifting operations using


• Repetitive lifting operations Loose Lifting Equipment
using the same equipment (e.g. • Complicated lifting operations
drilling activities) e.g. tandem lifting
• Routine lifting operations with • Complex / Critical / Heavy lifting
Loose Lifting Equipment operations requiring a Lift Plan
with engineering input

31
• May use generic Lift Plan • Must use dedicated Lift Plan

Appreciation of Dynamic Factors

 A "STATIC" load on a crane means that the effect of the load on


the machine never become greater than the weight of the load

 A "DYNAMIC" load is one where the effect of the load on the


crane is MORE than the actual weight of the load
