9.1 GENERAL
This chapter applies to commercial truckmounted cranes; crawler cranes; locomotive
cranes; wheel-mounted cranes, multiple control
stations; wheel-mounted cranes, single control
station; and any variation that retains the same
fundamental characteristics. These cranes have a
superstructure capable of rotating 360 degrees
mounted on a carrier and have boom raising and
lowering capabilities.

NOTES:
a. Above ratings are maximum recommended working loads. Loads between sold lines are computed at 75% of
tipping load across treads; with machine on firm, level ground. Loads outside solid lines are limited by
strength of boom.
b.
For booms 80 ft and longer, use cambered center section; for booms 100 ft and longer, use deep section
inserts.

When an operating rope shows greater
wear at its ends than on the remainder, its life
can be extended (in cases where a reduced rope
length is adequate) by cutting off the worn end,
thus shifting the wear to different areas of the

MOBILE CRANE LOAD TEST AND FOLLOW-UP CHECKS
NOTES: 1. Craftsman shall initial all steps completed below.
2. Qualified inspector shall verify all steps below.
_______
1.
_______
2.
Perform operations test without load to verify proper function of the following:
Swinging mechanism
Travel mechanism
Safety devices.
_______
3.
Test loads shall not exceed 110% of rated capacity. Refer to load chart for
load test capacity at maximum and minimum working radius. Check boom
angle indicators for accuracy.
_______
4.
_______
5.
Hoist the test load a sufficient distance to ensure that the load is supported
by the crane and held by the hoist brakes. Hold the load for 10 min or the
time required to check all primary load-bearing parts while under load without
slippage, damage, or permanent deformation.
_______
6.
At least once during the lifting portion of the hoisting cycle and once during
the lowering cycle, power to the hoisting equipment shall be completely
turned off. There shall be no slippage of the load or overheating of the
brakes.
_______
7.
Lower the load to approximately 2 in. off the ground to check for swing-roller
operation and outrigger stability. Slowly swing test load between outrigger
locations.
_______
8.
Move the load back to the original position and slowly lower to ground.
