(1)(b):
 (i) numerals that indicate the number of metres of outreach followed by the letter 'm', and
 (ii) an oblique stroke separating the information for each outreach.
      (3) Markings must be clearly made:
(a) on:
 (i) an external part of the structure of the crane; or
 (ii) the derrick crane or a plate near the heel of the derrick crane; and
(b) in the driver's cabin so that it is clearly visible to the driver.
      (4) External markings must be:
(a) at least 77 mm high; and
(b) of proportional breadth; and
(c) of a light colour on a dark background or a dark colour on a light background.
      (5) If the safe working load varies with the outreach of the crane, the operator must be able to determine:
(a) the outreach at any time; and
(b) the corresponding safe working load.

4 Track-mounted cranes
      (1) A bridge or gantry crane used in loading or unloading must:
(a) not collapse or overturn if a wheel breaks, an axle fails or it derails; and
(b) be fitted with devices that lock the crane in position when exposed to wind pressure; and
(c) be fitted with tracks that are strong, properly laid, maintained and with stops at the ends of the trackways; and
(d) be electrically bonded and earthed to the vessel's structure; and
(e) have locking devices on overside extensions engaged; and
(f) if there is more than 1 crane on the same trackway — each be fitted with a device to prevent collision; and
(g) have any track wheels at deck level fitted with foot guards.
      (2) There must be a clear passageway at least 550 mm wide on deck between:
(a) the structure of a track‑mounted crane and the vessel's bulwark or side rails; or
(b) the structure and hatch coamings.
Example of a passage

      (3) However, a vessel constructed before 17 November 1986 may have no passageway if access to the deck area over which the crane may travel is prevented.
      (4) A bridge or gantry crane must be fitted with:
(a) an acoustic warning device that:
 (i) emits an audible sound before travelling motion is commenced; and
 (ii) continues to sound until travelling motion has ceased; and
(b) a horn or similar acoustic warning device that can be sounded by the crane operator; and
(c) a clearly labelled emergency stop switch that can easily be operated by persons at deck level.
      (5) If an access ladder on a track-mounted crane is located where a person using it could fall into an open cargo space or over the vessel's side, it must comply with subclauses
