Description / Abstract:
This Standard defines safety requirements relating to the elements of
design, operation, and
maintenance of powered industrial crane trucks intended primarily for
pick and carry use in
warehousing, yarding, or industrial plant operation over improved or
hard surfaced roads and yards,
including maintenance within these areas.
This Standard does not apply to the general type of industrial crane
trucks described herein, where
used for construction work in any area, or to equipment-within the
scope of ASME Standards
Committee B30, which includes and defines rough terrain, crawler,
locomotive, and truck cranes.
Industrial crane trucks shall have the following characteristics:
(a) one power source for both travel and crane operations;
(b) a single operator's position with controls for travel and crane
operation located in the
chassis, and which does not rotate with the slewing boom;
(c) a hoisting mechanism for the loadline which provides powered
operation in both hoisting and
lowering directions, and furnished with a positive friction brake to
prevent free spooling.
