Safety code on mobile cranes
This Standard describes the design, construction, load rating, installation, erection, inspection, maintenance, repair, modification, test, and operation of lattice and telescopic boom mobile cranes. Note: See Annex A for illustrations of mobile cranes and Annex B for illustrations of parts of a mobile crane.
This Standard applies only to machines that have all of the following fundamental characteristics
This Standard applies to crawler-mounted cranes, commercial truck-mounted cranes, boom trucks, wheel-carrier-mounted cranes, railway cranes, locomotive-mounted cranes, and rail-mounted cranes, as well as any variations thereof that retain the fundamental characteristics of these cranes.
This Standard is applicable only to machines when they are used for lifting (hoisting). Note: Some basic machine types within this scope are used alternatively for hoisting service and for applications not considered to be hoisting service. All of the requirements of this Standard are applicable to such machines when used for hoisting service. Clause 4.14 contains requirements for machines when used in other than hoisting service.
Machines within the scope of Clause 1.3, and equipped with hooks, magnets, grapples, clam shell buckets, orange peel buckets, and other devices intended to connect or attach the tackle to the load for the purpose of hoisting or lowering a freely suspended load, are considered to be in lifting (hoisting) service.
