building one (1) or the spreader bar would be overloaded. Employees were unaware

he main structure where it is visible and affix a nameplate or other permanent m
arking displaying the manufacture's name and address, serial number, lift weight
, rated voltage (when applicable), rated load [as described in para.20- 1.2.1(a)
