Here are some general safety guidelines that should be followed when using a portable gantry crane:
1. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines for the specific model of gantry crane you are using.
2. Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of the gantry crane. The weight capacity should be clearly marked on the crane or in the manufacturer’s documentation.
3. Make sure the gantry crane is stable and level before lifting a load. The crane should be positioned on a flat, level surface and the wheels or casters should be locked in place.
4. Use appropriate lifting equipment, such as slings or chains, that are rated for the weight of the load being lifted.
5. Make sure the load is balanced and properly secured before lifting. The load should be centered on the lifting equipment and secured with appropriate rigging.
6. Never stand under the load or between the load and the gantry crane. Always keep a safe distance from the load and the crane.
7. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hats and safety harnesses, when working with a gantry crane.
8. Never use a damaged or defective gantry crane. If you notice any damage or defects, stop using the crane immediately and have it inspected by a qualified professional.
9. Always have a qualified person operate the gantry crane. This person should be properly trained and authorized to operate the crane.
10. Finally, always be aware of your surroundings and alert to any potential hazards or risks associated with using a gantry crane.
