CAUTION

This bridge crane has a safe load rating, which has been clearly marked on both sides by the manufacturer. The total weight of the Suspended load should never exceed 125% of this limit. The weight of all handling devices such as buckets, magnets, grabs, balancers, hoists, weld guns, etc., must be included as a part of the suspended load. The weight of such devices should therefore be determined and clearly marked.

Consideration should be given when Installing hoisting devices. Load ratings for such devices may exceed the load rating of the bridge crane.

The operator should inspect this bridge crane for loose bolts and worn, cracked or distorted parts prior to use (inspection should include all handling devices and mounting equipment). Defective parts should be replaced with manufacturer-approved parts before use of bridge crane is resumed.

This bridge crane conforms to the safety standards of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Any alteration of its structure or change in its rated load capacity may render null and void any manufacturer’s warranties, expressed or implied.
