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.

  1. Confirm the written lift plan and verified load weight.
  2. Confirm crane-chart capacity for this configuration.
  3. Assign the lift director and a qualified signal person.
  4. Establish the exclusion zone.
  5. Inspect slings and hardware.
  6. Confirm the hitch before the trial lift.
  7. Perform a trial lift just clear of the ground.
  8. Recheck the hitch after the trial lift.
  9. Hoist, boom, and travel only on the director's signals.
  10. Set the load and slack the gear before breaking down the exclusion zone.
