Step by step from planning lift to load standing safely in place

Use this procedure at each lift. The calm, planned lift is the safe lift.

§1. Plan

  • 01Find the weight and centre of gravity of the load

§2. Catch

  • 01Choose lifting gear with sufficient load capacity
  • 02Check slings, chains and shackles for damage.
  • 03Attach the load so it hangs straight and cannot slip

§3. Lift

  • 01PLACEHOLDER_98

  • 03Confirm that the load is secure before the crane moves on
