Hook Centre of Load!

A very important part of your job as a rigger is getting the crane operators hook centre of the load. Being over Jibbed or under Jibbed is extremely dangerous and can cause accidents.

When lifting 40ft sea containers off semi trailers, multiple factors can play part, causing uncontrolled movement. . The Semi can be on a slope or the sea container may be loaded more at one end. Each situation may create load swing on one end. This can be unavoidable so slow movements up and watch where the load cracks first. This can help determine where the load may swing.

Finally someone smart who knows about deflection and keeping your radius thank you sir for your very informative and correct video from North America in the state of North Dakota I'm just working here at a wind farm

[@mitchs2148]

You're a legend mate, always enjoy the videos and I like subjecting my misses to them too cause she's always sick of me talking about cranes haha

[@jerrytwist4124]

Rigger here... All the way from Ghana🇬🇭✌🏾

Good tips, on your last tip where you said about if your getting centre of a shipping container and cant stand on the load to grab the chains to hook them up, what i do is tie the tag line on the chains, find centre, come down on the hook, then you can pull the chains with the tag like and grab em to hook em up

I’m a trainer in rigging and dogging and boom deflection is definitely taught for the ticket

[@joshuadaley6531]

No they don't teach the deflection on a 250 at 30m with 14t and how the rigger is to keep centre to combat the deflection

[@shaneass1]

Congratulations skipper on the baby news and thanks for the info on loads and tips man really helps us out...the flies around your face must drive u crazy. Shane watching in Melbourne

I'm a tower crane operator and crane supervisor. Having the hoist on centre of the load can cause problems on heavy loads with a big jib. Part of the deflection should be taking out by jibbing the crane back before hoisting

[@riggingcranetips7393]

Hi Barry, I explain exactly what your saying in the video. Rewatch the last part.

[@reesecatchick2326]

Thanks for your videos. It's very helpful as I got my Riggers licence in Australia. Can you do a video on floating the load to understand better thanks

[@riggingcranetips7393]

Great suggestion!

[@johngoulart104]

Can you do more video from the operating perspective. The second half was awesome as you were explaining how to keep it center . These tips on how to control your load an experience guys knows vs a green operator . Thanks bro

[@dominicpiliae1893]

Good stuff mate. Can you comment on boom deflection for big slewcranes? I was taught to have the hook a little closer to the crane to compensate for boom deflection.

[@joshuadaley6531]

Take the tension to your centre (rope up) then pick it up on the boom steady keep it in the centre.

[@benchant181]

They teach you about boom deflection in your doggers course man. Well in australia anyway

[@HemSCC]

Yeah but not many go in deep they just bluntly tell you boom deflects when picking up which is fuckall info

[@troyashby1019]

Not sure if you mentioned it in your video one of my tricks top of the block if it looks flat. It's all good.

[@michaeljones3134]
