Take a PM lift.Use the Handholds The crane's swing/auxiliary hoist control lever, known as the joystick, is no handhold hand·hold n. 1. A grip of or by the hand. 2. Something that one can hold onto for support. Noun 1. handhold - an appendage to hold onto appendage - a part that is joined to something larger for climbing into and out of the cab. The joystick is not strong enough to support your weight. A busted joystick puts your crane out of action until a new one is installed. With that new joystick comes a $140 bill! Instead, use the handholds attached to either side of the cab door. Use Stowage STOWAGE, mar. law. The proper arrangement in a ship, of the different articles of which a cargo consists, so that they may not injure each other by friction, or be damaged by the leakage of the ship. 2. Box Remind yourself to do some housekeeping after the day's run. That is, never leave the crane's lifting slings, cables, chains or pile drive attachments on the vehicle's superstructure when you're done with them. Anything left behind can get lost when the crane moves, or cause you to slip and fall off the vehicle. Put the items where they belong--in the stowage box next to the cab carrier--so they're out of the way, won't get lost, and you'll know where to find them. Hook Block Lube Without lube, the block's sheaves, trunnion trun·nion n. A pin or gudgeon, especially either of two small cylindrical projections on a cannon forming an axis on which it pivots.

Grease Fitting Caps What's a good idea? How 'bout using protective caps on the hook Adj. 1. on the hook - caught in a difficult or dangerous situation; "there I was back on the hook" dangerous, unsafe - involving or causing danger or risk; liable to hurt or harm; "a dangerous criminal"; "a dangerous bridge"; "unemployment reached dangerous block's grease fittings? These caps keep the fittings clean and unclogged. It's easier to take the cap off when it's time to lube than it is to replace the fittings because they won't take grease.
