Execute a critical lift under ASME B30
Practice the sequence you already learned for “Execute a critical lift under ASME B30” until the order feels automatic. Drill the ASME B30.5 lift-director order from crane-operations training. The load is not hoisted until the plan, exclusions, and trial lift are complete.
- Confirm the written lift plan and verified load weight.
- Confirm crane-chart capacity for this configuration.
- Assign the lift director and a qualified signal person.
- Establish the exclusion zone.
- Inspect slings and hardware.
- Confirm the hitch before the trial lift.
- Perform a trial lift just clear of the ground.
- Recheck the hitch after the trial lift.
- Hoist, boom, and travel only on the director's signals.
- Set the load and slack the gear before breaking down the exclusion zone.
