Crane man basket
Lifting loads. People only when safer access is not possible
OSHA 1926.1431 allows hoisting people by crane only when other access would be more hazardous or is not possible. A boom lift is built to carry people: a level basket on a rigid boom, not a platform on a hook.

Far heavier loads
260ftThe chimneyStrong riverfront winds ruled out a crane basket at the 260 ft chimney. Finished on time.
200ftWater towerA crane with a birdcage on a narrow mountain road would have been costly and risky. Done in under a week.
8hoursStart to finishA crane crew closed the street, then left because the crane was moving in the wind. Done in 8 hours.

Done by 3 pm.OSHA 1926.1431 allows hoisting people by crane only when conventional access, such as an aerial lift or a scaffold, would be more hazardous or is not possible. Where a boom lift can reach the work, it is the safer choice.
