Introduction of safe operation rules and common equipment of ship crane

The introduction of safe operation rules and common equipment of ship crane is the key to ensure the safety of lifting operation. The following are the general safety operation procedures and some commonly used Marine crane equipment introduction:

Safe operation procedures:

Operator qualification:

Operators must hold appropriate qualifications and certificates, undergo professional training, and understand the operating principles and safety procedures of Marine cranes.

Equipment inspection:

Before each use, complete equipment inspection, including but not limited to hook, rope, electrical system, hydraulic system, etc. Ensure equipment is in good working order.

Load limit:

Strictly comply with the load limits of the ship crane to ensure that the rated lifting capacity of the equipment is not exceeded. Overload limits may result in equipment failure or accidents.

Safe distance:

During operation, ensure that the surrounding area is free of personnel and obstacles. Avoid other personnel standing under the hook or in the path of cargo movement.

Communication and Signals:

Communicate effectively with instructors or signalmen. Use standard gesture or communication systems to ensure accurate operation.

Weather conditions:

Avoid operating in adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds and heavy rain. Operating in unfavorable weather conditions may increase the risk of accidents.

Emergency shutdown procedure:

Operators must be aware of emergency shutdown procedures and promptly take emergency measures in the event of an emergency.

Anti-collision system:

If the ship crane is equipped with an anti-collision system, ensure that the system is operating properly. This can help prevent the device from colliding with other objects.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including hard hats, safety shoes, gloves, and protective glasses and hearing protection equipment if necessary.

Regular maintenance:

Perform regular maintenance, including lubrication, fastening bolts, replacement of parts, etc. Maintenance records should be detailed and accurate.

Common equipment introduction:

Lifting Hook:

Ship cranes are usually equipped with a variety of hooks, according to different cargo and operational needs to choose the appropriate hook.

Lifting Rope:

The rope is a key component connecting the hook and the crane, usually using high-strength alloy steel rope, requiring frequent inspection and maintenance.

Hydraulic system:

The hydraulic system of the ship crane is used to control movements such as lifting, stretching and rotating. Including hydraulic pump, valve, cylinder and other components.

Electrical system:

The electrical system of the crane includes control cabinets, switches, sensors, etc., to ensure that the equipment can perform operations accurately and reliably.

Control system:

The control system is used to operate and monitor the various functions of the crane. It can be a manual console or remote control system, or it can be integrated with automated control.

Counterweight system:

For cranes requiring counterweight, the counterweight system is used to balance the center of gravity of the cargo and improve the stability of the equipment.

Anti-collision system:

The anti-collision system monitors the environment around the crane through sensors and monitoring devices to prevent collisions and accidents.

Remote control system:

The remote control system allows the operator to remotely control the movement of the crane from a safe location, improving the ease and safety of operation.

The above is the general ship crane safety operation procedures and the introduction of common equipment. Specific procedures and equipment characteristics may vary by manufacturer, model and use, and operators should always follow the specific instructions provided by the equipment crane manufacturer.
