Operating a KBK crane within its permitted working environment is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring safe operation. Accurately assessing the surrounding work environment is a vital skill for crane operators. Below are some techniques for evaluating the crane's working environment:
1. Assessing wind conditions.
2. When working in rain or snow, wheels are prone to slipping; braking operations for the travel mechanism should be initiated earlier than usual. During lifting operations, closely monitor the condition of the crane and its wheels.
3. If the load is in the operator's blind spot, the crane must sound its horn continuously while moving.
4. When working at night, the workplace must be adequately illuminated so the KBK crane operator can clearly see the load's movement, the condition of the rigging/slinging, and the intended placement location.
5. When operating mobile cranes or tower cranes in rain or snow, a designated person must monitor and supervise the condition of the track foundation.
6. When large boom cranes operate near magnetic fields (such as those from radio stations, TV stations, or microwave stations), the crane itself can act as an antenna, potentially causing the hook to become electrically charged. Touching the hook may result in a tingling sensation from electric current, or in severe cases, electric shock burns to the palm. Before operation, test the hook with a multimeter or test pen and discharge any accumulated charge. If the electrification issue persists, a high-sensitivity resonant circuit can be installed on the crane to reduce the voltage on the hook and ensure safe lifting operations.
This concludes the introduction to techniques for assessing the working environment of KBK cranes; we hope you find this information helpful. As a professional manufacturer of lifting equipment, we invite you to continue following our website for more related information.
