What are 6 Common Lifting Accidents?
1. Heavy Objects Fall
Damage to the spreader or hoisting container, loose binding of objects, improper hooks, sudden power failure of the electromagnetic chuck, failure of parts of the lifting mechanism (especially brake failure, wire rope breakage), etc. will all cause heavy objects to fall.
An object at a high position has potential energy. When it falls, the potential energy is quickly converted into kinetic energy. The accidental fall of a heavy hoisted load, or the damage or fall of the metal structural parts of the crane may cause serious consequences.
2. Crane Lost Stability And Tipped Over
There are two types of 25 ton bridge crane instability:
One is that due to improper operation (such as overloading, jib amplitude change or too fast rotation, etc.), unleveled outriggers or foundation subsidence, the overturning moment increases, causing the crane to tip over;
The second is that due to the slope or wind load, the 25 ton bridge crane slides along the road or track, resulting in derailment and overturning.

3. Extrusion
There is a lack of good safety passages on both sides of the crane track or a sufficient safety distance from the building structure, so that the running or rotating metal structure body will cause pinching injuries to personnel; the operation error of the operating mechanism or the failure of the brake will cause the car to slide, resulting in crushing pressure injury etc.
4. Fall From Height
Injury caused by falling from a height when a person is performing operations such as installation, disassembly, inspection, maintenance or operation of a crane at a height greater than 2m from the ground.
5. Electric Shock
When the 25 ton bridge crane is working near the transmission line, any part of it or the suspended object is too close to the high-voltage charged body, and the induction of electrification or touching the charged object can cause electric shock injury.
6. Other Injuries
Other injuries refer to injuries caused by contact between the human body and moving parts, such as twisting, grinding, poking, etc.; damage to the hydraulic components of the hydraulic crane caused by the injection of high-pressure liquid; injuries caused by flying objects; Toxic, corrosive and other dangerous goods, injuries caused by falling or loose packaging, etc.
