Keeping the Crew SAFE
The Importance of Capacity Markings on Bridge Cranes
When it comes to the operation of bridge cranes, safety should always be the primary concern. These powerful machines are designed to lift and move heavy loads, and any miscalculation or oversight can result in disastrous consequences, such as structural failures or serious accidents.. Capacity markings on bridge cranes play a vital role in ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
With capacity markings, operators can easily identify the limits of the crane, ensuring that they operate within its safe working load. These markings eliminate any ambiguity and allow for responsible decision-making when it comes to selecting and moving loads.
Compliance with Regulations and Standards
Capacity markings are also a legal requirement. Regulatory bodies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States, mandate that all lifting equipment must have clear and visible capacity markings. These markings must be easily readable from the ground level to ensure that operators, supervisors, and inspectors can access this critical information without difficulty.
During every overhead crane & hoist inspections that we perform, if any capacity marking raises concern, we are sure to note it in the detailed report that we provide to you.
Looking out for you Always,
Your friends from DSM Hoist
