Step 2: Use the formula below (Weight = No. of legs) x L.A.F. Example: If the load weight is 8,000 Ibs. and three (3) slings are used at a 60° angle each: (8,000 = 3) x 1.155 = 3,080 Ibs, Therefore, each leg will have 3,080 Ibs. of tension. Note: When using 3 or 4 leg slings, it is possible that only 2 of the legs may see loading. Therefore, it ls common practice to calculate tensions using only 2 legs to be sure no overload occurs. Horizontal Angle Atways verity calculations with a qualified person >» REFERENCE 45plata ip ih Ol 46 TENSION CALCULATOR BY USING MEASUREMENTS When working in the field, determining the exact horizontal angles can be difficult. We can calculate the tension based on what information we do know, and apply this formula: (Weight += Number of legs) x (S + H) Example: The load weight is 12,000 Ibs. and two (2) slings are used. ‘You measure up the sling 48" (the “S" dimension) and then measure ‘straight down and get a 30" measurement (the “H" dimension) (12,000 = 2) x (48 + 30) = 9,600 ibs, of tension per leg 6,000 x 1.6 = 9,600 Ibs. of tension per leg (1.6 is the calculated LA.F) Therefore, each leg will have 9,600 Ibs. of tension. Note: When using 3 or 4 leg slings, itis possible that only 2 of the legs may see loading. Therefore, it is common practice to calculate tensions using only 2 legs to be sure no overload occurs.

Review all applicable ASME and OSHA standards and regulations. Please review all excerpts regarding signal person requirements from OSHA 1926.1400 Cranes and Derricks at www.ohsa.gov * Signal person must know all signals for mobile cranes, tower crane and overhead cranes. Charts must be posted on equipment or conspicuously posted near hoisting operations. * Must know basic understanding of crane operation. * Lift director appoints a qualified signal person. * Signal person and crane operator must identify each other prior to giving any signals. ¢ Modification to any signals must be agreed upon with the crane operator, lift director and signal person and can not conflict with standard signals. Only one person can give signals. Unless itis for an emergency stop signal — Anyone can give that signal. * Signals shall be continuous during crane operation. If at any time a signal is not understood, is not clear, disrupted or audible the crane operator is to stop movement and no response shall be made by the operator. * All signals are given from the operators perspective. Example: Swing left you would extend your right anm so operator would swing left. * Voice signals must have three elements - Direction or function - Speed or distance Stop command of prior function Example: “Hoist 40°, 30’, 20’, 10', 5" stop! Swing right 90 degrees, slowly, slowly, slowly, stop’ Lower 40', 30°, 20, 10' slowly, slowly, stop!" When moving a crane into position the following horn or audible signals shall be used. - Stop: One short audible signal - Go Ahead: Two short audible signals - Back up: Three short audible signals When in communication with more than one crane, a procedure or system must be used for identifying the crane the signal is for.HAND SIGNALS FOR MOBILE, OVERHEAD, GANTRY & TOWER CRANES An operator should respond to signals only from the signal person directing the lift. However, the operator should obey an EMERGENCY STOP from any person at all times. USE MAIN HOIST USE WHIPLINE Tap fist on head, (AUXILIARY HOIST) then use regular signals.
