    The document outlines the procedure for testing a crane, including: 1) An unloaded limit switch test to check alarms and clinometers at the upper, lower, and horizontal limits of the crane's range of motion. 2) A load test applying 30 tons of weight, lifting and lowering the test weight from both sides of the ship, and lifting and lowering and turning the crane to check clinometers at maximums and minimums. The load test is considered a success if limit switches and clinometers are in good working condition and no damage to the crane or its wire rope is found.

    PROCEDURE FOR CRANE LOAD TEST

    1. Limit Switch Test (Unloaded)

    - Upper limit: Lift the crane to max 750, check the alarm and clinometers.

    - Lower limit: Lower the crane to max 250, check the alarm and clinometers.

    - Horizontal limit: Turn the crane anti-clockwise (4m from ship's hull with

    incline of 250, check the alarm and clinometers.

    - Abruptly stop: Press "Stop" button while working, check the brake.

    2. Load Test

    a. Calculation for test weight

    - Horizontal angle while loaded 250


    - Safety working load 25 tons
    - Load test applied 30 tons

    b. Testing procedure

    - Lifting / Lower test weight: lifting and lower test weight at both sides of
    ship while crane at the Lower Limit, check the working length of hook.

    - Lifting / Lower crane: lift the crane from Lower Limit to Upper Limit
    position, check the clinometers at max and min.

    - Turn the crane: turn the crane from right to left while crane at the Lower
    Limit and Upper Limit, check the clinometers at max and min.

    The load test is considered acceptable if limit switch, clinometer are in good
    working condition. No damage or deformation of crane or wire rope found
    during testing process.
