53.020 - Lifting equipment

This document establishes a general classification of mobile cranes and related crane mechanisms based on the service conditions, mainly expressed by the following: — the total number of working cycles to be carried out during the specified design life of the crane; — the load spectrum factor which represents the relative frequencies of loads to be handled; — the average load displacements. This document is applicable for the work spectrum between moderate to very heavy number of work cycles as ...view more

Subjects covered include safe systems of work, management, planning, selection, erection and dismantling, special base, operation and maintenance of cranes and the selection of operators, slingers and signalers. It does not cover manually (non-powered) operated cranes, or cranes in which at least one of its motions is manually operated.

This document specifies general safety requirements for the design, testing and production of powered elevators. The requirements are applicable for on- and off-shore applications of such elevators in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
This document does not cover any other type of elevator. It is not applicable to the following types of products: lifting nubbins, lifting plugs, lifting subs, internal gripping devices, equipment for lifting tubular from and onto a vessel. ...view more

This document specifies the performance requirements, location, marking and method of operation related to operator's controls on mobile elevating work platforms (hereafter referred to as MEWPs) and takes into account operator safety and ergonomics. It applies to all controls used by an operator and includes provisions for finger, thumb, hand, and foot operated controls.

This document establishes graphical symbols for use on operator controls and other displays on mobile cranes as defined in ISO 4306‑2.

This document specifies the minimum requirements for labels for the identification (marking) and the operation of tower cranes.

This standard establishes general principles for the care and maintenance, and inspection and discard of steel wire ropes used on cranes and hoists. In addition to guidance on storage, handling, installation and maintenance, this document provides discard criteria for those running ropes which are subjected to multi-layer spooling, where both field experience and testing demonstrate that deterioration is significantly greater at the crossover zones on the drum than at any other section of rope i...view more

This European Standard is applicable to the design, information for use, maintenance and testing of power driven hoists with or without trolleys for which the prime mover is an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor. They are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads which are suspended on hooks or other load lifting attachments. Hoists can be used either in cranes, in other machines, e.g. rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment, monorail conveyors or by itself.

This document specifies the requirements, methods of rating and testing of single, double, three and four leg welded chain slings of grade 8 using components such as sling chains according to ISO 3076 together with links according to ISO 16798, hooks according to ISO 7597 and forged components according to ISO 8539. NOTE 1 For special lifting purposes not covered by this document, additionally intermediate links can be used, for example to connect components to each other having different workin...view more

This document is applicable to the design, information for use, maintenance and testing of power driven hoists, compact or open construction, with or without trolleys for which the prime mover is an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor. They are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads that are suspended on hooks or other load lifting attachments. Hoists can be used either in cranes, in other machines, e.g. rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment, monorail conveyors or by itself.

This European Standard is to be used together with EN 13001-1 and EN 13001-2 and as such they specify general conditions, requirements and methods to prevent mechanical hazards of cranes by design and theoretical verification.
NOTE   Specific requirements for particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for the particular crane type.
This European Standard covers bearings that are not dealt with by other EN 13001 standards.
The following is a list of significant ha...view more

This document specifies the regular inspections to be carried out on tower cranes. It does not cover inspection prior to the first use of a tower crane.

This document gives requirements specific to tower cranes for limiting and indicating devices. It is applicable to tower cranes as defined in ISO 4306‑3. It is not applicable to end stops such as buffers used to stop trolleying, travelling or luffing movements, nor to erection, dismantling operations or the changing of a crane's configuration. NOTE General requirements for the devices are given in ISO 10245‑1.

This document is to be used together with EN 13001-1 and EN 13001-2 and as such they specify general conditions, requirements and methods to prevent mechanical hazards of cranes by design and theoretical verification.
NOTE 1 Specific requirements for particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for the particular crane type.

This document establishes the application of ISO 8686-1 to tower cranes for construction work as defined in ISO 4306-3, and gives specific requirements and values for factors to be used at the structural calculation. Tower cranes for construction work are exclusively equipped with a hook as the load-handling device. For tower cranes intended to be used for other purposes and/or with other load-handling devices, other values can be necessary according to the tower crane usage specification.

This document specifies requirements for lifting sets for use with containers in offshore service,
including technical requirements, marking and statements of conformity for single and multi-leg slings,
including chain slings and wire rope slings.
