RECOMMENDED SAFETY RULES
FOR PORTABLE REMOTE CONTROLLED (PRC) CRANES
For the purpose of these rules, Portable Remote Control or PRC refers to either Radio Frequency (RF)
or Infra-Red (IR) Controls. The information contained herein is based on data gathered from various
users of portable remote control crane systems
. We emphasize that the recommendations contained
herein are not intended to supersede the rules or regulations of our customers, or the rules and
regulations of any applicable local, state, or federal government organizations
. It must be fully
understood that the recommendations contained herein are provided solely for your consideration
and possible adoption.

1. PREFACE.
1-1. Electric Overhead Travelling (EOT) Cranes typically operate in three motions. They are large,
bulky pieces of equipment that handle heavy loads efficiently at comparatively high speeds.
Frequently, they are operated in restricted areas where workmen are engaged in various tasks on
the floor below. Under these conditions crane operators using Portable Remote Control (PRC)
must take great care, and workmen must be constantly on the alert if accidents are to be avoided.
1-2. The following guidelines have been carefully assembled and are promoted to indicate just how
important your careful and thoughtful actions are in helping to protect you and your fellow
workers from harm, and also to prevent equipment damage.
1-3. These guidelines cover cranes when they are operational in Portable Remote Control (PRC)
mode, either by Radio Frequency (RF) or Infra-Red (IR). If a crane is operated from cab or
pendant control, the PRC system’s controller(s) should be completely isolated by removing the
battery and held under lock and key.
1-4. A routine pre-shift inspection of the crane takes a lot less time than repairing a crane suffering
from a major problem. In addition, such pre-shift inspections are to be considered as ‘safety
basics’, which are an important part of a crane operator’s duties
.
