HIGH MOVING LOADS

You will be completely banned the grullero loads perform operations that fall outside of the
verticality of the crane. (Oblique tractions).
No charges can boot attached to the floor or walls, as well as any foreign operation's own
handling of loads.
Passing loads over people find absolutely forbidden, keeping the grullero the highest
authority in respect of cargo being transported. When step is essential maximum precautions
to be taken while maintaining staff advised pass these charges. Transit cargo is strictly
forbidden airspace outside the site of the work, especially in the areas of road traffic.
It never try to move a load below the same ranking. Roads suspended loads to avoid
going over the jobs will be established.
Loads must be properly hooked on, a sufficient number of supports to ensure stability.
Ensure that the load is balanced and secure. To this end, before the complete lifting of the
load, by gentle tightening the sling or lifting chain and the former is not more than 10 cm. to
verify its mooring and balance. In case of load shedding, the damage would be minimal while
tighten the slings must not be touching the load and the slings themselves. There should be
the action of the wind on the load.
Materials transported should not exceed the top edge of the tray or container used.
Cables, chains or slings are properly adapted to the crane hook and should not be
mounted on each other, and especially not the opposite crossing cables.
The lifting and lowering loads be made slowly, avoiding any torn or sudden stop, and will,
whenever possible, to prevent vertical rolling.
The hooks are positioned so the shot will not break the chain safety latch
The best angle for lifting the load is always chosen, as the following table marks, bearing
in mind that the best angle lifting are the 60th
It is recommended that the angle between branches does not exceed 90 and shall in no
event exceed 120, while avoiding short slings for it: When considering the angle of the
branches to determine the maximum load supported by the slings, the angle should be greater
.
When a sling three or four branches is used, the greater angle than is necessary to keep
in mind is formed by the opposite diagonal branches.
Transporting people on loads, hooks or slings is prohibited.
Any observed deviation in one of these teams should be repaired immediately. Until it is
repaired, its use should be prohibited.
Load limit of lifting and never exceed transport. When accidentally one of these teams has
