This 32-page manual has been published by CMAA with the intent to provide information for the operation of overhead and gantry cranes. Operation of an overhead or gantry crane involves more than operating the controls of the crane. The operator must consider and anticipate the motions and actions that will occur as a result of operating the controls. CMAA 79 also lists qualifications required to be a crane operator, as well as “shall and shall nots” for operators.
