weight of the weight of the two cranes should not exceed 75% of the total rated lifting weight of
the two cranes. Attention should be paid to the distribution of weight and the weight shared by
each crane should not exceed 80% of the rated lifting weight.
o When lifting heavy objects by a small crane, it is not allowed to pass over the head of a person or
stay in the air for a long time. Under special circumstances, if temporary stopover is required, a
signal should be sent to inform all personnel not to stand or pass under the heavy objects.
