Employee safety is a pillar of Global Lifting Awareness Day #GLAD2024 A big part of creating safe environments is adhering to industry standards, including those created by ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers). If you’re a lifting professional, you'll want to pay extra attention to ASME B30.20, which requires you to inspect your lifting plate clamps. To help inform people on how to properly perform a lifting clamp inspection, we took a road trip to The Caldwell Group, Inc. Headquarters in Rockford, Illinois to find out what rejection criteria you should look for when inspecting a plate clamp. Caldwell Engineering Manager, Dale Kelly, walks us through the entire process 🎥: https://hubs.li/Q02H4DDk0

Steel mills are one of the most dangerous environments a lifting professional can work in. Thankfully, employee safety has dramatically improved in recent years, thanks in large part to technological advancements, like no-touch technology. A perfect example of this evolution is the Elebia Autohooks, S.L.U. automatic crane hook. Whether it’s removing your workers from dangerous situations, their high durability, or improving productivity levels, Elebia hooks have proven to be a reliable and valuable tool at steel mills nationwide. As part of Global Lifting Awareness Day #GLAD2024 , we’re spotlighting technology—like the Elebia auto hook—that’s improving safety in the lifting industry. Check out our article and video that goes over how and where they’re used in steel mills and additional info on no-touch technology ⤵️ https://hubs.li/Q02H4D-K0

Technology is changing at rapid speeds. Is the lifting industry keeping pace? The answer is yes! From no-touch technology in steel mills to drones being used in overhead crane inspections, the lifting industry is at the cutting edge of technological advancements. As part of Global Lifting Awareness Day #GLAD2024, we want to recognize the role technology has and will continue to play in the development of the lifting and rigging industry. For example, European crane manufacturers have recently tested AI technology to create autonomous cranes that "think" for themselves.

One of the goals of Global Lifting Awareness Day is to improve safety across the industry, and having proper sling protection is a step in the right direction. With more awareness on workplace safety (including increased OSHA fines), safeguarding your lifting slings is now a necessity—not a recommendation. But with so many options out on the market, what solution should you invest in? To improve the safety of your lifting operations, check out our video with Terry Driscoll and an accompanying article covering the different types of sling protection, the difference between cut protection and abrasion protection, and when and where you need cut protection. #GLAD2024 🔗: https://hubs.li/Q02H4BXF0
