Which parts of your overhead crane need safety protection devices?

Material handling is a task that needs endless learning, advanced technology, and various lifting methods. Due to the complexity of the material handling work, a slight negligence on lifting production, installation, lifting, loading, and unloading, high and low altitude operations, will result in disaster. The damage was not only bring personal pain, but also causing economic losses to the enterprise.

Major overhead crane and eot crane accidents not only affects the business interest, but also smear the enterprise image, corrupt business reputation, impact product market competiveness , which may even result in bankruptcy, and unemployment. Each relevant department is responsible for preventing the occurrence of safety accidents. Therefore, crane safety is the vital priority thing to every worker. In order to ensure the safety of the personnel and crane safety, safety protection devices should be set on some parts of the overhead crane.

Which parts of your overhead crane needs protection devices?

In some parts of your overhead crane, the safety protection devices are needed. Those overhead crane parts that needs safety protection device are presented as below:

• Mechanical transmission parts such as gears, protruding bolt coupling, etc., should be firmly installed safety shields.Speed shaft working at the speed of 100r / min or more should have the security cover over the entire length of the shaft.

• Crane cart transmission mechanism, even if the speed is lower than 100 r/min, should also add safety cover in exports and pedal carts that close to the installation.
• Safety railing on the crane height should be 1 m and it should have more than 100 mm high protection at the bottom of the plate.
• Escalator should not be less than the width of 600 mm, the distance between the layers should not be less than 300 mm. Tilt the escalator should be equipped with solid railing, upright escalators such as more than 10 meters high, must be set at intervals of about 6 m platform with a rail. If conditions permit, the factory should set inclined ladder not straight ladder as far as possible. The height of straight ladder and more than 75 - degree oblique ladder that is more than 5 m, should be equipped with arc skirts.

Except safety protection device of overhead crane parts, the crane safety requirements in the work should be strict. Advances in crane safety technology have lowered the risks of crane operation, but proper crane safety techniques practiced by crane operators, maintenance personnel and other employees continue to be of critical importance in minimizing the incidence of accidents. Technology can go only so far in eliminating the dangers.

Crane safety requirements in the work

• 1. Ring warning before driving
• 2. The required drivers and other personnel must concentrate
• 3. Do not overload or manned lifting
• 4. The loads should be tied up firmly, weight marked clearly, not exceeding the rated lifting capacity and then test hoisting is needed 
• 5. Do not maintain in operation
• 6.The command signal light should be sufficient
• 7. Do not hang on or from the top of the head, equipment and valuables upper cross
• 8. Hook at the lowest position on the rope drum design should maintain a predetermined number of turns, emergency stop signals to anyone shall be executed immediately
• 9. Different models have different use operation, different work environments have different construction characteristics, so drivers must be familiar with and master the operating models of safety procedures and rules and regulations and lifting program.
• 10. Human error continues to be a major cause of crane accidents. Human error may include such factors as failing to perform regularly scheduled inspections or maintenance, personnel entering restricted areas they are not authorized to be in, momentary inattention, and exceeding the rated load capacity of a crane.
• 11. Plant protection device of overhead crane part should be installed to protect the workers and the workers should operate crane in accordance with the provisions. Safety should always put in the first place.
