I-032

Why You Need a Reliable Load Moment Indicator (LMI) Override Switch Decal

Are you struggling to maintain crane safety compliance and reduce the risk of accidents when the Load Moment Indicator (LMI) system is overridden? Do you need a durable, long-lasting solution that saves you money and keeps your equipment looking professional? Overriding the LMI is a serious decision with potential consequences, and having the right warning in place is essential for safety and compliance. Our high-quality, regulation-compliant LMI Override Switch Decals provide a clear, visual reminder of the risks involved, ensuring your operators understand the limitations and responsibilities when bypassing this critical safety feature, as outlined in ASME B30.5 Clause 5-3.2.2.1(e).

  •   Avoid Costly Fines and Liabilities: Clearly communicate the risks of LMI overrides and prevent accidents, ensuring adherence to OSHA 1910.179 and ASME B30.5 standards, protecting your company from potential legal repercussions.

  •   Save Money on Replacements: Our decals are constructed with UV-resistant, chemical-resistant, and abrasion-resistant materials, guaranteeing years of service without fading or peeling. This significantly reduces replacement frequency compared to standard stickers.

  •   Maintain a Professional Image: High-quality printing and durable materials provide a professional look that reflects your company's commitment to safety and excellence. A tattered sticker sends the wrong message.

  •   Enhance Operator Awareness: Prominent, easy-to-read warning language clearly communicates the dangers of LMI override, reinforcing safe operating procedures and reducing the likelihood of human error. Remember the limitations outlined in the Rated Load Chart!

  •   Ensure Long-Term Compliance: Designed to meet or exceed industry standards like SAE J159, our decals ensure your equipment remains compliant with safety regulations for years to come, giving you peace of mind during inspections.

The Problem of Non-Compliant or Flimsy LMI Decals

Imagine this: A crane operator, under pressure to meet a deadline, overrides the LMI system. The existing decal is faded and unreadable, offering no clear warning of the risks. An accident occurs, resulting in injuries, equipment damage, and costly legal battles. This scenario is preventable.

The problem? Many companies use substandard decals that quickly degrade in harsh environments, becoming illegible and failing to provide adequate warning. This puts your operators at risk, exposes your company to liability, and ultimately costs you money. Our Load Moment Indicator Override Switch Decals offer the solution: a durable, compliant, and highly visible warning that stands the test of time.

This Load Moment Indicator Override Switch Decal Is Printed With the Text:

LOAD MOMENT INDICATOR OVERRIDE SWITCH.

DANGER

Crane operation with the LMI system overridden will prevent the LMI system from operating and will result in DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Use the override switch only under emergency conditions and follow all operating precautions on the crane and in the manual.

Load Moment Indicator Override Sticker size is 4 inches wide by 5 inches tall.

Our Load moment Indicator labels are created, printed, cut, and shipped in the USA.

This danger decal mounts directly adjacent to the physical Load Moment Indicator (LMI) override switch inside the operator cabin console of the mobile crane. It must be positioned so it is highly visible to the operator when interacting with the key switch or bypass controls. This prominent placement helps prevent unauthorized overbridging and ensures safety warnings are viewed during operation.

ASME B30.5 Clause 5-3.2.2.1(e) outlines the requirements for operator awareness regarding the limitations and responsibilities when bypassing an LMI system. This decal supports compliance by warning operators that overriding the LMI system prevents standard operation, which can result in death or serious injury. It serves as an active visual reminder to use the switch only under emergency conditions and adhere to the Rated Load Chart.

Yes, this danger decal is fully compatible with both rough terrain cranes and boom trucks, as well as crawler, mobile, and locomotive cranes. It is designed to be mounted adjacent to the physical LMI bypass key switches on the operator cabin consoles of these specific machinery types. Utilizing this sticker across your equipment fleet ensures uniform safety communication and compliant warning placement.

Adherence to OSHA 1910.179 regulations requires clearly communicating the severe operational risks associated with bypassing safety features like the Load Moment Indicator. This warning decal ensures compliance by alerting operators that operating with an overridden LMI system disables safety functions. To support safety inspections, this decal is designed to meet OSHA 1910.179 and SAE J159 standards.
