General Requirements: This program applies to overhead cranes
including wall cranes, (jib cranes) and others
having the same fundamental characteristics. Only designated employees trained in crane and
hoist safety shall operate cranes covered by this
program. All cranes in service and utilized by Universal
Compression shall meet, as a minimum, the
design specifications of the American NationalStandard Safety Code for Overhead and GantryCranes, ANSI B30.2.0-1967.

General Requirements (cont.) Each crane shall have the load rating plainly
marked on each side of the crane. If the crane has more than one hoisting unit,
each hoist shall have its load rating marked on it
or its load block and this marking shall be clearlylegible from the ground floor.
All cranes shall be locked and tagged out while
repairs are in progress to them or any otherequipment or building structure that may havepersonnel or equipment in their path.

Truck Hoist Requirements (cont) The vehicle shall be equipped with appropriately
sized outriggers/jacklegs as per the hoistmanufacturers recommendations.
The maximum lifting capacity rating must bedetermined for each length of boom used on thehoist. Manufacturers load charts shall beutilized.
The maximum lifting capacity rating will not
exceed hoist or pulley maximum loads, and willbe posted on all hoist equipped trucks wherereadily visible to operator from hoist controls.

Truck Hoist Safety Tips &
Precautions Employees assigned to duties requiring the
operations of truck hoists are responsible to: Become familiar with and store in vehicle, the owners
manual from the manufacturer of the truck hoist.
Make the required inspections,
Ensure that the truck hoist is maintained, Ensure that all personnel working in the area around
the crane are kept clear of all hazards related to hoistoperations.
Determine the weights, and correct rigging requiredfor loads to be lifted

Truck Hoist Safety Tips &
Precautions Make certain the vehicle meets minimum
chassis requirements. (These requirements donot guarantee unit stability.)
All load ratings are based on crane capacity.THESE CRANES CAN LIFT ENOUGH TO
TURN THE TRUCK OVER! NEVER wrap cable around load. REMEMBER in lifting a heavy load, the weight
can create enough tipping moment to overturnthe vehicle.
NEVER attempt to lift or drag a load from theside. The boom can fail far below its capacity.

Truck Hoist Safety Tips &
Precautions
NEVER hold any pendant Select switch on
that will negate safe operation conditions. At the job site, the vehicle shall be
positioned so that the crane can
adequately reach the load within the ratedcapacity of the truck hoist (centerline ofrotation to hoist hook).
Keep the vehicle as level as possibleduring operation.

Truck Hoist Safety Tips &
Precautions Engage emergency brake and turn off ignition with
transmission left in gear (or park for automatic
transmissions). For extended use, leave engine running with brake set
and transmission in neutral or park - this will keep batterycharged.
ALWAYS use outriggers from the truck to the ground. Be sure these are firm and adequately positioned. ALWAYS store outriggers before road travel. Plug in pendant control or unwrap pendant cable from
storage - crane is ready for operation. Always boom up before rotating so boom will clear boom
support.

Truck Hoist Safety Tips &
Precautions Do not move truck with a load suspended on a
hoist. Before attempting to rotate the load, position
suspended load as low as practical to theground; maintain proper body position where
the load can be maneuvered without placingthe body in the path of travel or under the load. After lifting operation is complete, retract
boom. return to stowed position on the boom
support. Avoid unneeded pressure on the boom
support. Store pendant control in proper location.

TAG LINES ARE REQUIREDON ALL LIFTS.
If your service truck has a hoist,do you have available tag lines?
Can you find them?Do you use them?
