Additional Introduction
Intent is to work safely and bring all up to the
same level
Work as a Team at field stations
Need to become familiar with crane at each
station
Standard: Improved Plow Steel (IPS) or

EIPS 6 x 19 or 6 x 37
Capacity based on end terminations
z Mechanical Splice
95% efficient
Flemish eye Most common and strongly

preferred

Two types of alloy lifting chain

Grade 8: has mark A, T, 8, 80, or 800
Grade 10: has mark 10 or 100
Use only alloy lifting chain for US&R lifting

Synthetic Slings
3 Factors Influence Sling Capacity
Must include manufacturers sewn-on tag

Provided with protective coverseamless
Material
Hitch type
Use Corner Protection
Sling angle
Need careful inspection

Do stretchup to 10%; polyethylene = 1%
Very lightweight and easy to use
Minimize twisting and spinning during lifting
Capacity in FOG, not Crosbys Users Guide
Use manufacturers tag for capacity

Crosby Panel 12 Shackles & Hooks
Sling Angle
Measured from
horizontal
Preferably 60 deg
At least 45 deg
Never less than 30 deg
Load capacity is reduced
from full sling capacity
by ratio of H/L
Best to use Forged-Quenched & Tempered

W.L.L. is stamped into Shackle/Hook body

z Hand and Voice
Is Language with different dialects

Needs emphasis

Need to understand how crane moves

load to know what you are asking for

Crane Signals how does the load move?
Shackle Types
Used for straight pulls & chokers
Screw Pin
Round Pin
Safety Type Screw Pin
Too slow & Chain Type

danger of
wrong bolt
Also is special Screw Pin Type for Synthetic Slings
Use these
mostly
hard to
place key

Horizontally
Vertically
Boom Moves in Arc

Not Left and Right
When Boom out

Load parallels Boom

Hand signals
should be found
on the side of
every crane cab
Basics:
Finger = Hoist
Thumb = Boom
Arm = Swing
19
Cable Clips and Thimbles

One clip
width
Need Seizing
at rope end
Clips are installed in succession & torqued per

Manufacturers Instructions.
Example shows loop end w/ & w/o thimble.
22
Crane Hand Signals (continued)
Cable Clip - Installation

Turn back, place
1st clip & tighten
2nd clip only snug
Place other clips at
equal spacing
Apply tension and
tighten clips
Recheck nut
torque after initial
operations
See Crosby Panel 16

23
Wedge Anchors- Torque Controlled
Components of Tiebacks
Require reasonably clean & proper sized holes

Set with Torque Wrench (pre-tests anchor)
Crosby Clips
Swivel Hoist Rings
Anchors
Have Reduced Capacity in Cracked Concrete

21

May08
3/8Concrete Screws
May use instead of wedge anchors
for Hoist Ring
Work better in cracked conc.
Quick Quiz
Need drill & simple wrench

z Simpson & Hilti easy to drive,
requires 10 x dia. Penetration
Quiz was provided by The Crosby Group
z Drill hole 1 longer than reqd depth

(only need minimal cleaning)
z Strength similar to Wedge Anch.

Eye Nuts
Attach over nut of
installed wedge anchor
Load in tension only
(within 15 deg.)
Capacity determined
by anchor and depth
Tightened eye to nut
