Crane Safety : Stability and Tipping

Details

• Corporate Authors:

• Description:
  Cranes are used to lift and move heavy materials on construction sites. When a crane lifts and moves a load, the distance from the load’s center of gravity to the crane’s tipping axis changes. If the crane’s lift capacity is exceeded, the distance exceeds the safe operating range listed in the crane’s load chart, or the crane is not set up properly, it can tip over, resulting in injuries, many fatal, to the operator and workers nearby.
