Also see ASME publication B30.8-2004, Floating Cranes
and Derricks.
Definition
A pedestal mounted crane is a crane which is securely
fastened to a foundation, barge, ship, or floating platform so
the crane is restrained from tipping.
Examples
1. Crane rotating bed mounted on a turret (pedestal) which
is securely fastened to the foundation (Figure 2-6
).
2. Crane rotating bed mounted on a carbody (crawlers
removed) which is securely fastened to the foundation
Figure 2-7
).
NOTE If the carbody will be bolted to the foundation,
contact your Manitowoc dealer for the
recommended bolt pattern and for the type and
quantity of bolts to be used.
Barge Mounted Crane
Definition
A barge mounted crane is a crane that is anchored or
restrained in a work area of the barge, ship, or floating
platform and is subjected to tipping forces.
Examples
NOTE The foundation is the deck of the barge, ship, or
floating platform.
1. Crawler-mounted crane with the carbody anchored with
tie-downs to the foundation (Figure 2-8
).
2. Crawler-mounted crane working on a timbered area of
the barge, ship, or floating platform with the crawlers
restrained by curbing and end stops (Figure 2-9
). When
not working, the crane carbody is anchored with tie-
downs to the foundation. Traveling with load is not
permitted.
NOTE Manitowoc does not permit traveling on a barge
deck with load.
