				  constructed before the effective date of these standards, should be modified to
				  conform to those design specifications, unless it can be shown that the crane
				  cannot feasibly or economically be altered and that the crane substantially
				  complies with the requirements of this section. (See chapter 296-900 WAC,
				  Administrative rules, for information on applying for a variance.)
(3)

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
Application.
This section applies to crawler cranes, locomotive
				  cranes, wheel mounted cranes of both truck and self-propelled wheel type, and
				  any variations thereof which retain the same fundamental characteristics. This
				  section includes only cranes of the above types, which are basically powered by
				  internal combustion engines or electric motors and which utilize drums and
				  ropes. Cranes designed for railway and automobile wreck clearances are
				  excepted. The requirements of these standards are applicable only to machines
				  when used as lifting cranes.
(2)
New and existing equipment.
All new crawler, locomotive, and truck
				  cranes constructed and utilized on or after the effective date of these
				  standards, must meet the design specifications of the American National
				  Standard Safety Code for Crawler, Locomotive, and Truck Cranes, ANSI B
				  30.5-1968. Crawler, locomotive, and truck cranes constructed prior to the
				  effective date of these standards should be modified to conform to those design
				  specifications by December 31, 1973, unless it can be shown that the crane
				  cannot feasibly or economically be altered and that the crane substantially
				  complies with the requirements of this section. Replacement parts must be of
				  equal or better quality than the original equipment and suitable for the
				  purpose. Repairs or modifications must be such as to render the equipment equal
				  to or better than the original construction or design.
(3)
Designated personnel.
You
				  must ensure that only designated personnel are permitted to operate a crane
				  covered by this section.

(1)
Load
				  ratings-Where stability governs lifting performance.
(a) The margin of stability for determination
				  of load ratings, with booms of stipulated lengths at stipulated working radii
				  for the various types of crane mountings is established by taking a percentage
				  of the loads which will produce a condition of tipping or balance with the boom
				  in the least stable direction, relative to the mounting. The load ratings must
				  not exceed the following percentages for cranes, with the indicated types of
				  mounting under conditions stipulated in (1)(b) and (c) of this section.
Type of crane mounting:
Maximum load ratings % of tipping loads)
Locomotive, without outriggers;
Booms 60 feet or less ..............
85
Booms over 60 feet ................
851
Locomotive, using outriggers fully
extended .............................
Crawler, without outriggers ...............
75
Crawler, using outriggers fully extended . ...
85
Truck and wheel mounted without outriggers
or using outriggers fully extended .....
85
1
Unless this results in less than 30,000
								  pound-feet net stabilizing moment about the rail, which shall be minimum with
								  such booms.
(b)
				  The following stipulation must govern the application of the values in (1)(a)
				  of this section for locomotive cranes:
(i)
				  Tipping with or without the use of outriggers occurs when half of the wheels
				  farthest from the load leave the rail.
(ii) The crane must be standing on track
				  which is level within 1 % grade.
(iii) Radius of the load is the horizontal
				  distance from a projection of the axis of rotation to the rail support surface,
				  before loading, to the center of vertical hoist line or tackle with load
				  applied.
(iv) Tipping loads from
				  which ratings are determined must be applied under static conditions only,
				  i.e., without dynamic effect of hoisting, lowering, or swinging.
(v) The weight of all auxiliary handling
				  devices such as hoist blocks, hooks, and slings must be considered a part of
				  the load rating.
(c)
				  Stipulations governing the application of the values in (1)(a) of this section
				  for crawler, truck, and wheel-mounted cranes must be in accordance with Crane
				  Load-Stability Test Code. Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J765.
Note:
The effectiveness of these preceding stability
								  factors will be influenced by such additional factors as freely suspended
								  loads, track, wind, or ground conditions, condition and inflation of rubber
								  tires, boom lengths, proper operating speeds for existing conditions, and, in
								  general, careful and competent operation. All of these shall be taken into
								  account by the user.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
				  Inspection procedure for cranes in regular service is divided into two general
				  classifications based upon the intervals at which inspection should be
				  performed. The intervals in turn are dependent upon the nature of the critical
				  components of the crane and the degree of their exposure to wear,
				  deterioration, or malfunction. The two general classifications are herein
				  designated as "frequent" and "periodic" with respective intervals between
				  inspections as defined below:
(a) Frequent
				  inspection: Daily to monthly intervals.
(b) Periodic inspection: One- to 12-month
				  intervals, or as specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
