Tower Crane Safety Operation Guide

Dear Customers and Partners,

To ensure the safe and efficient operation of tower cranes on construction sites, we hereby publish this Safety Operation Guide. As a specialized trading company exporting tower cranes, we fully understand the importance of safe operation. Therefore, we strongly recommend that all operators, maintenance personnel, and managers strictly adhere to the following guidelines, jointly creating a safe and orderly work environment.

I. Pre-Operation Preparation

1. Inspection and Confirmation:

• Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the tower crane before each use, including but not limited to structural integrity, electrical systems, hydraulic systems, wire ropes, hooks, and other critical components.

• Confirm that all safety devices (such as limiters, moment limiters, load limiters, etc.) are functioning normally.

• Check the ground foundation for stability to ensure the tower crane is not leaning or vibrating abnormally.

2. Weather Conditions:
   -严禁 operate tower cranes under adverse weather conditions such as high winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms, etc.

• Follow manufacturer guidelines regarding specific wind speed limits.

3. Operator Qualification:

• Ensure operators hold valid operation certificates and are familiar with the tower crane's operation manual and safety regulations.

II. Safety Precautions During Operation

1. Load Management:

• Strictly adhere to the tower crane's rated lifting capacity and avoid overloading.

• Ensure the load is balanced before lifting to avoid sudden loading or unloading.

2. Line of Sight and Communication:

• Maintain a clear line of sight during operation and use signalers when necessary.

• Use standard gestures, whistles, or radio communications to ensure accurate instruction transmission.

3. Smooth Operation:

• Perform lifting, slewing, and luffing actions smoothly, avoiding abrupt acceleration or deceleration.

• Decelerate in advance when approaching limit positions to avoid collisions.

4. Personnel Safety:

• Ensure no personnel are present within the tower crane's operating area, especially beneath the load and within the boom's rotation range.

• Set up warning zones beneath lifting loads to prohibit personnel passage.

III. Maintenance and Servicing

1. Regular Inspections:

• Develop and implement a regular maintenance schedule, including daily inspections, monthly inspections, and annual overhauls.

• Record detailed information for each inspection and repair for tracking issues and timely resolution.

2. Lubrication and Cleaning:

• Regularly lubricate moving parts to keep mechanical components operating smoothly.

• Clean the tower crane, especially electrical components, to prevent dust and moisture from causing malfunctions.

3. Component Replacement:

• Immediately replace worn or damaged components, such as wire ropes, bearings, gears, etc.

IV. Emergency Handling

1. Emergency Stop:

• Operators should be familiar with the location and use of the emergency stop button and use it immediately in emergencies.

2. Incident Reporting:

• In the event of any accident or malfunction, immediately stop operations, secure the site, and promptly report to superiors.

3. Training and Drills:

• Regularly organize safety training and emergency drills to enhance operators' safety awareness and emergency response capabilities.
