Mobile Floor Crane

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the operation, inspection, and maintenance of mobile floor cranes. Only licensed doggers or riggers may perform slinging work, including the selection and inspection of lifting gear. Cranes must be used on even, level surfaces, and loads must be securely attached to the lifting hook.

Pre-use inspections include checking for damage, cracks, or hydraulic leaks in the crane and lifting gear. During operation, ensure the crane is properly positioned, and the load is fully supported before movement. Workers must avoid standing under suspended loads and ensure that the load's center of gravity remains stable. Maintenance involves cleaning wheels, topping up hydraulic oil, and bleeding the system to remove air. PPE, including eye and hand protection, is mandatory when handling hydraulic oil or operating the crane. Adhering to these protocols ensures safety and efficiency in crane operations.
