• Select the proper slings, lifting gears and grappling devices, and cover sharp corners with padding to protect the slings.
• Keep watch for people or objects that may enter the path of the load, especially where it is not visible to crane or winch operators; use hand signals, whistles or two-way radios.
• Guide loads into position as they are lowered.
• Lift and shift heavy equipment, large pipes and control valves with cranes up to 500T.
