Lift trucks are particularly dangerous in the workplace. On average, lift trucks are involved in about a quarter of all workplace transport accidents.’  \nIf you are planning a new working environment or if your manufacturing operation has evolved, it may be time to make the switch from using forklifts to an overhead crane system.  \nForklifts can cause more harm than good!  \nForklifts can be effective for certain operations, such as loading / unloading vehicles, warehousing or for bringing materials or plant into a factory.  \nHowever they should always stop short of entering areas where they are liable to come into contact with people or working machinery. In close proximity handling operations forklifts can become a liability.  \nForklifts lack a fine control, and when the forks or boom swings it is a potential safety issue for workers standing nearby and for the worker directing the forklift.  \nTo find an safer alternative – please go to the next page >  \nQ2 . .“What are the specific benefits of installing swing jib  \ncranes?”  \nMaking the decision to overhaul an outdated, ineffective, or poorly managed material handling system can seem like a daunting prospect, but making the change will result in you having improved safety, production, efficiency, and work space savings-resulting in less down-time and cost.  \nForklifts are simply not designed to do precision handling operations. If the forklift driver is manoeuvring a load, his or her vision can be greatly diminished. Navigating a forklift through tight spaces has greater potential for disaster. If adriver moves a few inches too far in any one direction, the result could be disastrous.  \nAll of these issues can result in an ineffective operation with more expenses and less control. If you are looking to streamline your production process, or considering a forklift-free application—an overhead crane system may be the perfect remedy. Overhead cranes allow for greater hook height and more efficient use of space.  \nContinued on the next page>  \nChoosing an overhead crane system that can be designed specifically for your work area will give you precise control over your entire assembly, individual workstations, and transportation of products and materials.  \nSWING JIB CRANES – IMPROVE LIFTING AND HANDLING SAFETY!  \nA swing jib crane may be the best option for your applic","cbCaiiTbDDAGwdeh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiTbDDAGwdeh","pdf",2244196,"English","# Benefits\n# Selection\n# Types\n# Applications\n# Installation & Safe use\n# Overview\n# Questions\n## Why use swing jib cranes when we have forklifts?\n## What are the specific benefits of installing swing jib cranes?\n## What type of crane should we consider is suitable for our needs?\n## What are our choices for suitable swing jib cranes?\n## What are the construction specifications for your swing jib cranes?\n## What decisions do we need to make to select the right swing jib crane for our use?\n## What do we need to do regarding the installation of a swing jib crane?\n# More information and Contact Us","[{\"question\":\"Why use swing jib cranes when forklifts are available?\",\"answer\":\"Forklifts are described as particularly dangerous in the workplace and are prone to safety risks such as limited fine control and hazardous swing or movement near people and machinery.
