Key Factors For Ground Personnel Working Around Cranes

Saturday 11:00am with Hans Tielmann

This session goes over the important key factors for safe operation around cranes for ground personnel. Ground personnel may be one of the most overlooked positions on the job site. This session is going to cover ground conditions, bearing surface, stabilizer positioning, center of gravity, area of operations, k-boom operating radius, dynamic force, and capacity.
