Majority industrial enterprises cannot do without the use of overhead cranes. Using overhead or gantry cranes, loading and unloading, as well as moving various cargoes. An overhead crane is capable of delivering large volumes of cargo, so it is most often used in warehouses and work shops of an enterprise. Sometimes such cranes are used at construction sites for installation or repair of structures. Of course, to operate such a mechanism requires a highly qualified specialist who is capable of competently, efficiently and safely handling an overhead crane in the production cycle.

The crane operator performs work on lifting and transporting loads in blast furnace, steelmaking, rolling and pipe shops at metallurgical industry enterprises. Participates in the repair of workshop equipment. Monitors the correct use of load-handling devices by loaders. Monitors instrument readings (load capacity indicators, etc.) and signal gestures of the loader. Keeps an eye on technical condition crane (mechanisms, brakes, ropes, crane runways). In accordance with the assigned qualifications, the driver works with loads of various weights.

Driver overhead crane– a sought-after and responsible profession in the modern dynamically developing industrial world. The environment of his work may be hot workshops with harmful and hazardous conditions production, as well as loading terminals in ports or industrial railway lines.
