Overhead Bridge Crane Fall Protection

Safety in Industrial Environments: Overhead Bridge Crane Fall Protection

Crane maintenance and inspections can often require workers to be on top of the systems, which put them in need of overhead bridge crane fall protection. Our fall protection systems can allow for continuous coverage and full range of motion while protecting workers.

Overhead Bridge Systems

Dongqi can configure rigid rail track systems that follow a bridge format for a rectangular coverage area. They are manufactured to attach to existing structures which provides a cost effective solution. When properly zoned, multiple bridges can support several workers. Options include ceiling mounted or free standing designs.

Enclosed Track Rigid RailThis lightweight enclosed track rigid rail can keep tracks free from debris, and allows for bypass capability. Systems are available in various configurations, including multiple track profiles and support center distances. These systems can easily be customized to fit every budget and application.

Swing Away & Fold Away Systems

Basic concept – deploy it when you need it and fold it away when you’re finished. This allows you to maintain productivity without sacrificing safety. The Tether Track Fold Away Fall Arrest System provides safety for work areas that require access to overhead cranes, when space is limited or protection is not always necessary.

OSHA Standards

OSHA rules regarding fall protection in industrial crane environments are not clearly defined. The general duty clause states, “Each employer shall furnish a place of employment which is free from recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees.” Workers at heights need fall protection. Having fall protection in an industrial crane environment has hazards such as; crane contact, structural impact, entanglement, and dragging.
