Operational issues for vehicle-loading cranes
The vehicle-loading crane must be operated in accordance with the operator’s instruction manual provided by the crane manufacturer. Additionally, the following points must be complied with:
- Operators must be trained in the specific operation of the particular vehicle-loading crane;
- Operators of vehicle-loading cranes with a maximum load moment capacity of 10 metre-tonnes or more must hold the appropriate class of certificate (CV) to operate a vehicle-loading crane;
- If the load is out of the operator’s view at any stage during the lifting process, the movement of the load must be directed by a qualified dogger or rigger;
- The crane may only be used with all stabilisers extended in accordance with the crane manufacturer’s instructions. Where multiple positions can be used on stabiliser legs, the legs must be set up in compliance with the manufacturer’s load chart.
- The crane must only be used so that it is level in accordance with the crane manufacturer’s specifications (usually not exceeding one degree or less);
- Timbers or other pads specified by the crane manufacturer are to be provided under the stabiliser feet;
- Hooks must be provided with spring-loaded safety latches, and must be adequately maintained;
- Where it is possible to apply a side load to the crane hook, the hook must be provided with an appropriate swivel;
- The crane must never be used in pick-and-carry mode;
- Vehicle-loading cranes are not to be used for lifting persons unless burst protection is fitted to luffing hydraulic cylinders;
- The burst protection is to consist of pilot-operated check valves that sense a differential in hydraulic pressure and lock the boom in position. Velocity fuses are not considered to be a reliable form of burst protection. Section 14.6 provides additional information on lifting persons by mobile crane;
- Where provided, spring lock-outs on the vehicle are to be activated during crane operation;
- The crane must only be used with a load suspended vertically from the hook. The crane is not to be used to drag a load across a supporting surface;
- The stabiliser legs should be clearly marked with ‘zebra striping’ to improve visibility. Section 10.3.1 of this code provides further information on the dimensions of the zebra striping;
If the operator of a vehicle-loading crane is required to exercise judgement in selecting a sling and the appropriate slinging technique, then the operator must also hold a dogger’s certificate or be an adequately supervised trainee.
