• For wire rope suspended platforms, the crane is
equipped with a hook latch that can be closed and
locked, eliminating the throat opening.
• The platform is properly attached and secure.
• Personnel platforms must not be used in winds
exceeding 20 mph (9 m/s)
at the hoisted platform
height or in electric storms, snow, ice, sleet, or other
adverse
weather conditions which could affect the
safety of personnel
.
• Hoisting personnel within 6 m (20 ft) of a power line that
is up to 350 kV or within 15 m (50 ft) of a power line that
is over 350 kV is PROHIBITTED, except for work
covered in OSHA 29CFR1926 subpart V.
For operation outside the United States, the requirements of
the applicable national, state and local regulations and
safety codes must be met. This may include, in addition to
the above:
• Automatic brakes such that when the equipment
operating controls are released, the motions are
brought to rest.
• A holding device (such as a load hold check valve)
must be provided in the hydraulic or pneumatic
systems to prevent uncontrolled movement of the
hoisting equipment in the case of a system failure.
Manitowoc offers upgrade packages for friction controlled
models to install anti-two-block, dead man control, and
automatic hoist system control requirements to satisfy other
codes and standards.
Manitowoc recommends that cranes be properly maintained,
regularly inspected, and repaired as necessary. All safety
signs must be in place and legible. We also urge Manitowoc
crane owners to upgrade their cranes with rated capacity
indicator/limiter systems for all lifting operations.

PEDESTAL/BARGE MOUNTED CRANES
WARNING
Overload Hazard!
A pedestal mounted crane will not tip to indicate to the
operator that the crane’s capacity has been exceeded.
When the capacity of a pedestal mounted crane is
exceeded, the hook rollers or other structural components
may break, before the load lines fail, causing the crane to
separate from the pedestal.
For this reason, great care must be taken to operate a
pedestal mounted crane within its rated capacity.
Careful planning is required before a crane can be
operated on a barge. The crane user shall verify that the
barge is capable of limiting crane list and/or dynamics to
the maximum allowable specified in the Capacity Charts.
If the specified crane list and/or dynamic conditions are
exceeded, the crane’s capacity may be exceeded; the
hook rollers or other structural components may break,
causing the crane to separate from the pedestal.
WARNING
The crane owner/user shall verify that the method used to
fasten or restrain the crane to the foundation, the barge,
the ship or the floating platform is strong enough, under all
operating conditions, to prevent the crane from breaking
off the foundation or moving on the barge.
Manitowoc does not permit use of a truck crane on a
barge, a ship or a floating platform.
