Crane Overhead Danger Sign

Description

A crane pick redraws the hazard map of a site. The load path crosses areas that were safe an hour ago, and everyone below it — crew, deliveries, neighboring trades — needs to know before they look up. The Crane Overhead sign marks that ground in the OSHA danger format: red oval DANGER header, bold lettering sized to be read from outside the swing radius, posted at the boundaries of the lift zone before rigging starts.

Because crane signage lives outdoors and gets moved from pick to pick, build matters. We print at our NYC facility on aluminum in 0.40, 0.63, and 0.80 gauges — the heavier stock shrugs off being strapped to barriers and fence panels job after job — or on 0.60 styrene for short-duration lifts. Three sizes, 12″ × 18″ to 24″ × 36″, all with UV- and weather-resistant inks that keep contrast high in full sun.

On NYC jobs, crane days are scheduled tight; your signage shouldn’t be the holdup. Standard delivery across the five boroughs and Long Island is 2–3 business days, and 24-hour rush is available on most orders when the lift got moved up. Volume pricing through a contractor account covers the multiple signs a full swing-radius posting takes, and re-orders from your account history take one call.

FAQ

Where should Crane Overhead signs be placed during a lift?

At every access point to the lift zone and around the swing radius boundary, so the warning is visible before anyone enters the area under the load path.

Which size works best for crane zone posting?

24″ × 36″ is the common choice — it reads from the distance at which you want people to stop. Smaller sizes work for barricade-mounted posting closer in.
