Frequently Asked Questions
Crane lifting cages work by attaching securely to a crane’s overhead hook using heavy-duty steel chains or slings. Crane cages provide an enclosed, stable platform to safely lift workers or materials.
Common types of crane lifting attachments include brick cages, crane pallet bins, good cages, and tool cages (or site boxes).
To attach a crane lifting cage to a crane, you must use a certified multi-leg sling and connect it the designated crane cage lifting lug using shackles or hammerlocks. The main sling ring then needs to be secured directly to the crane safety hook. Some cages, dependent on the load and size, may also require a spreader beam.
To safely attach a load to your crane lifting cage, it’s important to balance the weight, secure items with straps rated for the load if required, and connect the cage securely to the crane hook.
A crane lifting cage adds permanent dead weight to the crane hook, reducing the crane’s net load capacity. Under the Australian Standard, each cage must be tested individually under rigorous proof load testing regime.
In Australia, crane lifting cages must comply with Australian Standard AS4991-2004 for crane lifting devices.
Key safety considerations when using a crane lifting cage include:
- Ensure the Working Load Limit (WLL), data plate and TARE mass are clearly displayed
- Conduct a rigorous pre-lift inspection, including all rigging, ground stability and hazard recognition.
- Ensure there is reliable communication between the crane operator and workers.
- Conduct a trial lift just above the ground to verify load stability, balance, and rigging security.
