53.020.20 - Cranes

This document establishes a general classification of mobile cranes and related crane mechanisms based on the service conditions, mainly expressed by the following: — the total number of working cycles to be carried out during the specified design life of the crane; — the load spectrum factor which represents the relative frequencies of loads to be handled; — the average load displacements. This document is applicable for the work spectrum between moderate to very heavy number of work cycles as ...view more

This document specifies minimum requirements for design, calculation, examinations and tests of hydraulic powered loader cranes and their mountings on vehicles or static foundations.
This document does not apply to loader cranes used on board sea going vessel or to articulated boom system cranes which are designed as total integral parts of special equipment such as forwarders.
The hazards covered by this standard are identified in Clause 4.
This document does not cover hazards related to the...view more

The ISO 4306 series establishes a vocabulary of the most commonly used terms in the field of cranes. This document defines the terms related to jib type cranes. Mobile cranes, tower cranes, railway cranes, and offshore cranes are excluded. Annex A contains a diagram showing the different types of jib cranes.

This document establishes required practices for the safe use of tower cranes. Subjects covered include safe systems of work, management, planning, selection, erection and dismantling, special base, operation and maintenance of cranes and the selection of operators, slingers and signalers. It does not cover manually (non-powered) operated cranes, or cranes in which at least one of its motions is manually operated.

This document establishes graphical symbols for use on operator controls and other displays on mobile cranes as defined in ISO 4306‑2.

This document specifies the minimum requirements for labels for the identification (marking) and the operation of tower cranes.

This European Standard is applicable to the design, information for use, maintenance and testing of power driven hoists with or without trolleys for which the prime mover is an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor. They are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads which are suspended on hooks or other load lifting attachments. Hoists can be used either in cranes, in other machines, e.g. rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment, monorail conveyors or by itself.

This document is applicable to the design, information for use, maintenance and testing of power driven hoists, compact or open construction, with or without trolleys for which the prime mover is an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor. They are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads that are suspended on hooks or other load lifting attachments. Hoists can be used either in cranes, in other machines, e.g. rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment, monorail conveyors or by itself.

This European Standard is to be used together with EN 13001-1 and EN 13001-2 and as such they specify general conditions, requirements and methods to prevent mechanical hazards of cranes by design and theoretical verification.
NOTE   Specific requirements for particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for the particular crane type.
This European Standard covers bearings that are not dealt with by other EN 13001 standards.

This document specifies the regular inspections to be carried out on tower cranes. It does not cover inspection prior to the first use of a tower crane.

This document gives requirements specific to tower cranes for limiting and indicating devices. It is applicable to tower cranes as defined in ISO 4306‑3. It is not applicable to end stops such as buffers used to stop trolleying, travelling or luffing movements, nor to erection, dismantling operations or the changing of a crane's configuration. NOTE General requirements for the devices are given in ISO 10245‑1.

This document establishes the application of ISO 8686-1 to tower cranes for construction work as defined in ISO 4306-3, and gives specific requirements and values for factors to be used at the structural calculation. Tower cranes for construction work are exclusively equipped with a hook as the load-handling device. For tower cranes intended to be used for other purposes and/or with other load-handling devices, other values can be necessary according to the tower crane usage specification.

This document specifies the minimum training to be given to trainee crane slingers and crane signallers to develop the basic slinging skills and to impart the requisite knowledge for competency required for slingers and signallers as defined in ISO 15513.

This document applies the principles set forth in ISO 8686‑1 to mobile cranes, as defined in ISO 4306‑2, and presents loads and load combinations appropriate for use in proof-of-competence calculations for the steel structures of mobile cranes. This document is applicable to mobile cranes used for normal and duty cycle service. NOTE Means for proof-of-competence testing will be addressed in another document.

This document describes the acoustic emission (AE) testing technique used to perform structural integrity evaluation on steel structures of overhead travelling cranes and portal bridge cranes. This document applies to the testing of steel structures of in-service overhead travelling cranes and portal bridge cranes. Testing of other kinds of cranes can refer this document. This testing method is not intended to be an alone NDT standard method for the evaluation of the structural integrity of over...view more

This European Standard is to be used together with EN 13001-1, EN 13001-2 and EN 13001-3-1 as well as pertinent crane type product EN standards, and as such they specify general conditions, requirements and methods to, by design and theoretical verification, prevent mechanical hazards of hydraulic cylinders that are part of the load carrying structures of cranes. Hydraulic piping, hoses and connectors used with the cylinders, as well as cylinders made from other material than carbon steel, are n...view more
