<strong>DOE</strong>-<strong>STD</strong>-I090-<strong>96</strong> (Rev-I)9.1 GENERALThis chapter applies to commercial truck-mountedcranes; crawler cranes; locomotive cranes;wheel-mounted cranes, multiple control stations;wheel-mounted cranes, single control station; <strong>and</strong>any variation that retains the same fundamentalcharacteristics. These cranes have asuperstructure capable ofrotating 360 degreesmounted on a carrier <strong>and</strong> have boom raising <strong>and</strong>lowering capabilities.9.1.1Operators ofmobile cranes shall be trained <strong>and</strong>qualified as required in Chapter 6, "PersonnelQualification <strong>and</strong> Training."9.1.2OperatorTraining/QualificationLoad Limitsa. Since the load rating for mobile cranes maybe based on stability <strong>and</strong> hydraulic or structuralcompetence, load ratings established by themanufacturers shall not be exceeded in operationalapplication.b. No crane shall be loaded beyond its ratedcapacity, except for load test purposes asdescribed in Section 9.3, "Testing."c. When loads are to beh<strong>and</strong>led that arelimited byhydraulic or structural competencerather than by stability, the appointed person shallensure that the weight of a load approaching ratedcapacity has been determined within -10 percent,+0 percent before it is lifted.9.1.3Load Rating Charta. A durable rating chart with legible letters<strong>and</strong> figures shall beprovided with each crane <strong>and</strong>attached in a location accessible to the operatorwhile at the controls. See Table 9-1 for a sampleload rating chart. The data <strong>and</strong> information to beprovided on these charts shall include, but not belimited to, the following:1. A full <strong>and</strong> complete range ofmanufacturer's crane load ratings at all statedoperating radii, boom angles, work areas, <strong>and</strong> allstated boom lengths <strong>and</strong> configurations, jiblengths <strong>and</strong> angles (or offset), as well as alternateratings for use <strong>and</strong> nonuse ofoptional equipmenton the crane, such as outriggers <strong>and</strong> extracounterweights, that affect ratings.2. A work area chart for which capacitiesare listed in the load rating chart (see sample inFigure 9-1).3. Where ratings are limited bystructural, hydraulic, or factors other thanstability, the limitations shall be shown <strong>and</strong>emphasized on the rating charts.4. In areas where no load is to beh<strong>and</strong>led, the work area figure <strong>and</strong> load rating chartshall state that information.5. Recommended reeving for the hoistlines shall be shown.b. In addition to the data required on the loadrating chart, the following information shall beshown either on the rating chart or in the operatingmanual:1. Recommended parts ofthe hoistreeving, <strong>and</strong> size <strong>and</strong> type ofrope for variouscrane loads.2. Recommended boom hoist reevingdiagram, where applicable; size, type, <strong>and</strong> lengthofrope.3. Tire pressure, where applicable.4. Cautionary or warning notes relative tolimitations on equipment <strong>and</strong> operatingprocedures, including indication ofthe least stabledirection.5. Position ofthe gantry <strong>and</strong>requirements for intermediate boom suspension,where applicable.6. Instructions for boom erection <strong>and</strong>conditions under which the boom, orboom <strong>and</strong> jibcombinations, may beraised or lowered.7. Whether the hoist-holding mechanismis automatically controlled or manually controlled,whether free-fall is available, <strong>and</strong> whether anycombination ofthose exists.8. The maximum telescopic travel lengthofeach boom telescopic section.9. Whether sections are telescoped withpower or manually.9-1Chapter 9Mobile Cranes
