27. Kinds of Hitches
A rigging hitch is used to attach the sling to the load. There are three basic types of hitches: the vertical hitch, choker hitch, and basket hitch. It is critical that the
hitch you select will safely support the load.
Vertical Hitch. A vertical hitch is the most obvious way to secure a load to a crane or other lifting device.
Choker Hitch. To form a choker hitch, you pass one end of the sling through the eye of the other to make a “choking” loop.
Basket Hitch (90°) - The cradle configuration of this hitch allows the two extending ends (legs) of the sling to function as if they were two separate slings. The capacity of the
sling in this hitch is twice that of the same sling in a vertical hitch, but only if the sling angle of each leg is 90°
Bridle Hitches: Are used for hoisting an object that has lifting lugs or attachments. Position the hook over the centre of gravity of the load. Adjust sling leg lengths with
turnbuckles to level raised load. Check each sling leg angle to ensure sling is not overloaded.

EYEBOLTS : shall be designed, manufactured, tested, and certified in accordance with BS EN ISO 3266. BS EN ISO 3266 specifies the requirements of grade 4-
forged steel eyebolts, which can be used for axial and inclined loading.
Note 1: Dynamo eyebolts are being used for electrical equipment and shall be fixed on them and never removed to another equipment or load.
Note 2: Collar eyebolts are preferable for Vertical Lifts.
Note 3: Eyebolts with Links are preferable for Angled Lifts. The following information should be supplied with an enquiry or order:

49. Hands Free Lifting
 Once connected to a mechanical lifting device, personnel should not touch a load with any part of their body
as the load being lifted or before the load is properly set down and any potential energy has been released.
 The exemption is where previously approved as a result of performing a specific risk assessment to manage
the risks and details of how hands free lifting is achieved must be include in the lift plan.
 Some tasks necessarily require ‘’ hands on’’ lifting.
 During lifting off and landing, the personnel must be as far away from the load as possible in case something
does go wrong. To ensure this happens, it is essential to adopt a hands free lifting policy and must be rigidly
adhered to.
Type of Error in Lifting - off
 the hoist can fail for a number of reasons
 The rigging can fail & snag on load or snag on adjacent equipment
 The load can snag on adjacent equipment, personnel can get caught up in the rigging
 The load can rotate, slew or swing or topple.
 Overlooked loose items may fall off the load or crane.

50. CraneSignals
Crane signals are used to communicate with operator for
effective control of operation from starting to end.
There are three types of communication between Banksman
and Operator.
 Verbal communication
 Hand Signals
 Radio Communication

51. Types of Mobile Cranes
Rough Terrain crane
All Terrain crane
Truck mounted crane
Crawler crane
Boom Truck

52. Types of Mobile Cranes
Rough terrain
 Designed for un-improved work sites
 Roadable for short distances
 Four steering modes
 Pick and carry capability
 Three position outriggers

53. Types of Mobile Cranes
Truck mounted
 Can be driven at highway speeds
 Limited off-road capability
 Can do multiple jobs in one day
 Hydraulic booms allow fast setup but the weight (compared to lattice)
reduces lifting capability

54. Types of Mobile Cranes
Boom truck
A boom truck generally refers to a hydraulic crane mounted onto a
commercial truck chassis. Most of these boom trucks are straight,
telescopic booms, but the company also has articulated cranes that fit in
the category of boom trucks.
 Can be used to lift and lower heavy loads
 Take up less space and can carry materials to the required destination
 Can do multiple jobs in one day
 Telescopic booms extend out in a straight line to offer great horizontal
reach from 40 to 180 feet. Articulating booms have jointed sections to
enable reach into areas that obstacles may block. These offer a bit
less horizontal reach, between 30 and 160 feet.

55. Types of Mobile Cranes
All terrain
 Combines features of Rough Terrain and Truck Mounted cranes
 Off-road capable
 All-wheel steering
 High capacities

56. Types of Mobile Cranes

62. Lifting OperationHazards
Operator’s Error
Operator errors such as ‘overloading’, incorrect selection of equipment,
incorrect attachment of equipment, inability to recognize faulty equipment
etc. can often be attributed to: Lifting related Incidents
 Incorrect level of ‘Competency’.
 Inadequate training.
 Inadequate job information.
 Not recognizing the hazards involved.
Equipment’s Failure
Early equipment failure is often due to:
 Inadequate storage facilities.
 Inadequate routine maintenance management.
 Lack of examination and certification of equipment.
 Lack of written routine maintenance instructions.
 Misuse.

63. Lifting Operation Hazards

66. Blind Lift
• A Blind lift: when the crane operator cannot directly see the load and/or
personnel at any point in time during the lifting operation.
• Blind lifts, or a lift where there has been no lift plan prepared, increase the risk of
an accident.
 The wireless hook block camera and wireless winch camera also integrates with
smart phone technology.
 Along with the wireless winch camera and 10-inch touch screen, the hook block
camera comes fitted with a microphone so the operator can not only see, but also
clearly hear, what is happening under the hook when in operation.

67. Working WithCrane
Crane Setup
Key points to observe prior to establishing to site include;
• Access roads are available and are soundly constructed with suitable entry
points to site.
• The workplace is adequately prepared for the incoming crane, including
where possible a clear predefined area/crane pad for the crane to position
upon.
• Desired setup area should also be level, unless prior consultation has been
made with the supplier of the crane.
• Outriggers should only be extended on the side where the operator is
positioned.
• Where space permits, outriggers shall always be fully extended.
• Generally, Standard Safe Working Load capacity charts are based on all
outriggers fully extended and set with the wheels clear of the ground.

68. Working WithCrane
Crane Setup
Crane position near the slopes:
D = Danger area
B = Width of foundation
H = Height of slope
D ≥ 4B
D + d ≥ 2H
Outriggers shall always be extended to
manufacturers procedures and specifications

69. Working withCrane
• EquipmentAllocation;
– The correct crane and equipment for the task shall be selected by
a competent person in accordance with the planning process.
– Care shall be taken when interchanging equipment at the final
stage.
• A ‘larger’ crane may not always be a safer option.
• Other factors may be introduced when a varying model of
crane is interchanged, such as tail swing and outrigger spans.
• Trial Operation;
– Once crane is elevated and level, a trial operation should be
completed by the operator; this may include;
• Luffing Boom to high angle and slewing 3600 with spotter in
position – Purpose to review tail swing and outrigger packing
suitability.
• Executing ‘dry-run’ where load is required to be picked up and
placed – Purpose to ensure crane is capable of task and set
required limits.

The LMI uses sensors that measure the force on the crane boom, and the RCI measures the force on the
hoist line.

81. Safety and Control Devices
• An anemometer is an instrument that
measures wind speed.
• Wind speed normally measured by
anemometer fitted to the tip of crane boom.
• Operate the crane in adverse weather
conditions. Operating cranes with wind speed
of and exceeding 18 knots is forbidden.
Anemometer
• An anti-two-blocking system is a technologically
advanced electrical device with a built-in sensor that
helps the crane operator prevent two-blocking
incidents.
• Two blocking occurs when a hook block or hoist line
attachment contacts the boom or fly jib head.
• Anti-two-block operator warning systems are available
to suit all types of cranes and lifting appliances.
