Safety precautions related to the use of marine cranes

Thread Content

Marine cranes are lightweight, require little space, and have high efficiency; they are lifting equipment carried on ships for use in loading and unloading operations between the ship and the shore, as well as between ships. To ensure the safe use of marine cranes and reduce the incidence of accidents before, during, and after operation, the following points should be noted: 1. Before operation. Before operation, marine cranes must undergo a thorough inspection of components such as the hook, steel cables, and safety devices. Any potential hazards identified must be eliminated before work can proceed. 2. At work. When lifting cargo for the first time, a pre-lift test should be conducted first; normal operation can proceed only after ensuring safety. Furthermore, its operators must keep in mind the \"ten rules against lifting\" for crane operations, and strictly adhere to the requirements for operating marine cranes. 3. After work. After completing the lifting operation, for the marine crane, pay attention to the placement of the trolley and controller, and cut off the power supply. In addition, operators must carry out regular maintenance of the crane to prepare for the next shift handover.
