Overhead Crane Warning Light - Safety at your feet

Safety on a worksite is essential, especially when overhead cranes are present. Most cranes can carry loads of 2000 pounds or larger, which, if accidentally dropped, could result in massive amounts of damage or bodily harm.

Cranes carrying heavy loads above can cause many hazards for workers, vehicles, and pedestrians below. So, it is vital that every worksite practices proper crane safety.

When on a worksite, many people are unaware of the positioning of the crane above them.

Some worksites utilize audible sirens to warn workers and bystanders of the crane’s movements, but depending on the loudness of the worksite, or the attention of the individual, the audible noise may not be heard.

That’s where an overhead crane warning light comes in handy.

Overhead crane lights warn people and vehicles not to walk or drive underneath a suspended load by projecting a light box or “danger zone” on the floor, directly underneath the suspended hook and load.

The red, blue, or white LED Safety Warning Light is projected on the floor to grab the attention of any individual on or near the worksite, alerting them of overhead crane use and preventing them from walking underneath the load.

The safety warning light also provides another frame of reference for crane operators and aids them in gaining stable and accurate control of the hook and load that they are moving.

By using an overhead crane light and practising crane safety, companies can proactively prevent workplace accidents involving employees, vehicles, and bystanders.
