TEST

LIFT CLASSIFICATION

REQUIRED ACTION

Does the gross load exceed 75% of the crane's total lifting capacity ? Does the gross load at any point during the lift exceed 80% of crane's capacity chart ? Does load replacement time exceed 10 days ? Will the loss of the load during installation cause a loss of production exceeding 10 days or a cost of $100,000. Will the loss of the load constitute a risk to the public or environment, i.e. chlorine or acid ? Does the lift require 2 or more cranes ? (Note: never exceed 75% of each crane's capacity in a multi-crane lift.) Will the load be swung over an unprotected plant, equipment or service ? Will the lift be performed in proximity of live electrical conductors ?

Critical Lift Criteria What Constitutes A Critical Lift?


When the gross load value exceeds 75% of the total cranes capacity. When the gross load being lifted exceeds 80% of the cranes capacity chart. When the load replacement time exceeds 10 days. When the loss of the load during installation will cause a loss of production exceeding 10 day or cost of $100,000. When the loss of the load constitutes a risk to the public or to the environment, i.e. chlorine or acid. When the lift require 2 or more cranes. o Note: Never exceed 75% of each crane during a multi-crane lift. When the load has to be swung over an unprotected plant, equipment or service. When the lift is performed in proximity of live electrical conductors.
