SC&RA Offers Assembly/Disassembly Crane Guides

April 22, 2013 – The Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) has developed two guides for assembling and disassembling for mobile and tower cranes. These free nine-page guides provide a comprehensive list of tasks and delineate specific responsibilities for the controlling entity, crane owner, crane user, assembly/disassembly director, site supervisor, lift director and crane operator.

 

“We are confident the forms presented in each guide can help our members protect personnel, equipment and property in the vicinity of the cranes,” said Beth O’Quinn, SC&RA vice president, crane and rigging. “The guides minimize the risk of an important task being overlooked because someone forgot to do it or presumed someone else completed it.”

 

SC&RA member companies can download PDF files of the guides from the “Members Only” section of the association’s website and print as many as needed.

 

Additionally, SC&RA developed carbonless copy versions of the two part forms found in sample page format in the assembly/disassembly guides. Both versions are available to SC&RA members in sets of 25 for $12. They include:

• Tower Cranes Pre-delivery Inspection Form – What Should Be Inspected before the Crane Is Shipped to the Site
• Mobile Cranes Assembly/Disassembly Pre-Job Safety Meeting

 

The safety products were all developed by the SC&RA Crane & Rigging Group Safety Education & Training Committee. For more information, visit http://www.scranet.org.
