Basic Components of crane

Here are the top 5 most common areas we find issues on Articulating Cranes: 1) Level Indicators Missing: This is the most common issue we find. It accounts for 14% of all defects we find on Knuckle Boom Cranes. It's hard to make sure your crane is level without it. 2) Weld Cracks in the Intermediate Sections: When it comes to weld cracks, the mid sections is where most cracking occurs. These cracks account for 10% of all defects we find. 3) Travel Mounts: Another good spot to find cracks is on the travel mounts, they account for 8% of all defects we find. Our data shows that cranes used mostly off-highway tend to be the main source of these cracks. 4) Weld Cracks in the Articulating Section: This section sees a lot of loading and accounts for 5% of all defects we find on these cranes. 5) Outriggers: Rounding out the top 5 at 5% as well are the outriggers. It is no surprise that these would crack being that they are such a critical piece to the capacity of the crane. As you can see weld cracks are more common then you may think. If you haven't had someone look over your crane for cracks, I would highly suggest you do. PALFINGER North America Hiab Fassi Gru Ferrari Crane

Did you know there are 3 types of inspections you should be doing for your rigging gear? Those inspections are: Initial, Frequent, and Periodic. All three are important for safety while using rigging gear. On today’s episode of Safety Saturday, Tim guides us through each of the three types of inspections for rigging gear and their importance for keeping employees safe while using rigging gear. The initial inspection is visual to make sure tags are present and the setup matches. The frequent inspection is hands-on to check for damage and should be conducted prior to each use. The periodic inspection is extensive and should be conducted every 12 months. Additionally, chain slings, which are one of the most common pieces of rigging equipment, require extra attention to detail when being inspected. Until next week, from everyone at W. L. French, stay safe out there! #ConstructionSafety #Rigging #ChainSlings #StayPrepared #SafetySaturday #SafebyChoice #wlfrench #WEMOVEBOSTON
