What should we pay attention to when comparing the cab control of bridge cranes with the remote control?

When using the cab of an overhead crane for control, there are some things to pay attention to compared to remote control control:

Operation skills: Cab operation requires familiarity with the crane’s console and operating levers. Before operating, make sure you have received relevant training and guidance and understand the functions and operation methods of each controller.

Safety awareness: When using cab control, special attention needs to be paid to safety. Make sure you understand your crane’s maximum load capacity, limitations and safe operating procedures. Follow correct operating procedures to ensure crane stability and safety.

Vision and observation: The cab provides better visibility, but you also need to pay attention to the surrounding environment. When operating a crane, remain alert at all times and observe the area around the crane to ensure that no persons or obstacles are within the crane’s working range.

Communication and collaboration: If there are other workers working near the crane, especially during the lifting and placement of the lifted object, good communication and collaboration are crucial. Ensures effective communication with the signalman or other relevant personnel to ensure smooth operation.

Maintenance and Inspections: Regularly inspect and maintain the crane’s cab and control systems to ensure they are working properly. Check the reliability and integrity of equipment such as controls, buttons, indicators, and instrument panels, and promptly report any malfunctions or abnormalities.

Please note that the above precautions are for reference only and specific operations and precautions may vary depending on the crane model, manufacturer and specification requirements. Always follow the regulations and safety guidelines in your area and operate according to the crane’s instruction manual and guidance provided by the manufacturer.
