Description

Numerous standards applicable to the design and manufacturing of mobile cranes exist in the United States. Heretofore there have been no published guidance criteria to assist the prospective manufacturer, owner or user of mobile cranes in determining which standards should be invoked for a particular application or facility. This publication provides that guidance to the users, manufacturers and specifiers of mobile cranes by identifying relevant documents/standards that may be applicable to their usage. This guide identifies U.S. federal, state and local laws, national and industry consensus standards, international standards and other documents written specifically for mobile cranes, or having provisions specific to mobile cranes. Some of the national or industry consensus standards are applicable to nearly all mobile crane applications and are typically invoked by owner specifications. Others apply to unique crane applications and are not necessarily appropriate for commercial or standard industrial cranes.
