Industrial Communications: Cranes



Crane Communications
Setcom configures systems specifically tailored for the many industrial and marine crane applications that exist. Whether you operate a gantry, mobile, overhead, railroad, deck, aerial, barge-based, tower, telescopic, or hammerhead crane, proper communications is critical for the safety of the operator and surrounding personnel and property.


OSHA Crane Communications Rules
With the completion of OSHA Final Rule 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC, crane operators are adapting and rethinking their communications procedures. Subpart CC requires "hands-free communication" for operators if radio communications are being used. In these situations, more sophisticated equipment must be used and this is where Setcom's gear plays a critical role in meeting the new Subpart CC. Devices such as a Setcom foot switch for keying a radio, help meet OSHA's requirements. 

While hand signals are permissible, in many situations under OSHA regulations, radio communications can be a much safer and effective form of communications when using a crane. In fact for gantry cranes, OSHA recommends the use of radio communications. An OSHA study found that radio communications while operating a gantry crane increased the productivity of the crane operator.




























Setcom Crane Communications Solutions
  • LiberatorMAX: For communications between the crane operator and the signal person, the inexpensive and simple to use LiberatorMAX is ideal. The LiberatorMAX system is up and running 30 seconds after opening the box and allows for full-duplex communications and no requirement to push-to-talk (PTT) thus meeting the latest OSHA Subpart CC rule.
  • 900SP: Advanced single-person system for industrial vehicle and interior building applications.
  • Wireless System 977: For communications between more than two workers, the combination of the Liberator Wireless Headset and System 977 works well and has many advanced features including hands-free, full duplex and integration into mobile radios.

Report Use of FCC-Non-Compliant Equipment


January 23, 2019

In 2018, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued an Enforcement Advisory cautioning against the use, sale, and importation or marketing of low-cost, two-way VHF/UHF radios that do not comply with FCC rules. The advisory came in response to advocacy work conducted by the Land Mobile Communications Council (LMCC) and the Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA). While EWA is pleased that the FCC has issued the Advisory, the next step is enforcement of it. EWA seeks the support of licensed radio users and wireless sales and service providers to assist with the enforcement of violations of these rules.

The Advisory notifies two-way radio users that:
  • The Enforcement Bureau has noticed the rise in sales of low-cost, two-way VHF/UHF radios that do not comply with FCC rules.
  • Some of the radios can be modified to operate on channels for which the user is not authorized and is not eligible.
  • Some radios are capable of prohibited wide band operations.
  • Anyone importing, advertising or selling non-compliant devices should stop.
  • Anyone owning such devices should not use them.
  • Violators may be subject to substantial monetary fines.
Complying with FCC rules is crucial to maintaining order and the efficient use of spectrum, specifically, protecting against interference from unauthorized radio use. The Advisory states that violators “may be subject to penalties authorized by the Communications Act, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines (up to $19,639 per day . . . and up to $147,290 for an ongoing violation).”

If you are aware of any
individual or organization that is using illegal, non-compliant equipment or are aware of a company marketing such devices for sale, please contact EWA Communications Director Andrea Cumpston at 703-797-5111 or andrea.cumpston@enterprisewireless.org.
