Cranes are used for various Wind for Industry® project construction activities – like building wind turbine towers, loading and offloading trucks, and even building and dismantling other cranes.
Whatever it is, our cranes are often handling VERY heavy loads, and clear communication is key for safety during any crane activity. One method our construction team uses to communicate with the crane operator is through hand signals.
Watch today’s episode of Technician Talk to learn the universal basic crane hand signals – and practice along with technicians Kerry and Gerbs!
The signals you’ll learn are:
- Cable up
- Cable down
- Boom up
- Boom down
- Boom up hold load
- Boom down hold load
- Very slowly
- Swing right
- Swing left
- Track forward
