3.3

EXAMPLE Grab, dragline, magnet or comparable repetitive duty.
4 Choice of loads and load combinations
4.1 Basic considerations
Loads shall be combined with the intention of discovering maximum load effects on mobile crane
components or members during operation, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, as
simulated by elastostatic calculation. To achieve this, the following considerations govern preparation
of proof-of-competence calculations.
a) The crane is taken in its most unfavourable position and configuration, while the loads are assumed
to act in magnitude, position and direction causing unfavourable stresses at the critical points
selected for evaluation on the basis of engineering considerations; and
b) conservatively, loads can be combined at the values defined in this document or, when appropriate,
they can be combined with certain loads, adjusted by reduction factors for the probability of
combined actions to more closely reflect loading conditions currently found in practice.
4.2 Simultaneous accelerations
The effect of one accelerating drive, e.g. slewing, luffing or telescoping, is assumed to act simultaneously
with hoisting acceleration; only two drives are assumed to accelerate simultaneously in the absence of
hoisting acceleration. See Annex A for further information on simultaneous accelerations.
4.3 Side loading
Certain design features may have the effect of inducing side loading on booms. When those features are
present in a design, they shall be included with all applicable load combinations for which calculations
are performed, combined so as to maximize side loading. In addition to slewing and wind effects,
features affecting side loading may include:
a) reeving arrangements that cause the hoist line to deviate from the boom centreline, between the
boom point sheave and the most extreme position on the hoisting drum; and
b) inclination of the boom foot due to deflection of the supporting crane structure.
4.4 Erection and dismantling
An evaluation shall be made for each step in the erection and dismantling processes, as appropriate to
the crane type and configuration, and proof-of-competence calculations shall be carried out for each
instance of significant member or component loading. Calculations shall utilize factors from Table 1 as
given under load combinations B.
2 © ISO 2018 – All rights reserved
4.5 Automatically initiated actions
When mobile cranes are furnished with controls or devices that cut out drives and apply brakes without
an initiating action by the driver, or are furnished with brakes that automatically engage on loss of
power or control function, calculations reflecting those effects shall be carried out under Emergency
cut-out, see column C4.
5 Loads from acceleration of crane drives
5.1 General
Mobile cranes are typically designed to accommodate a range of boom lengths and various extensions
or front-end attachments. Therefore, some cranes can possess excess power in some configurations,
power that crane drivers in practice do not fully utilize (in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions). Therefore, in proof-of-competence calculations, the effects acting on the mass of the
crane, either acceleration or deceleration may need to be chosen on the basis of a simulation or tests
rather than on drive or brake characteristics.
5.2 Slewing effects
In practice, slewing acceleration and deceleration rates can vary depending on the front-end attachment
fitted, the operating radius, the control scheme employed, the crane driver’s operating practices, and
the characteristics of the slewing drive and braking mechanisms. For proof-of-competence calculations,
the forces on the mass of the crane and the rated load by slewing acceleration or deceleration which
produce side loading can be taken as follows.
a) For cranes with stepped drive controls and for cranes in which the driver does not have control
over slewing acceleration or deceleration rates, the forces on the mass of the crane and the rated
load shall be calculated from drive/brake characteristics.
b) For cranes with stepless continuously variable drive controls, the forces on the mass of the crane
and the rated load shall be calculated based either on:
1) the highest forces which occur during normal operation as described in the manufacturer’s
instructions; or
2) a simulation or tests; or
3) drive/brake characteristics.
But the resulting lateral force from slewing, applied to the boom tip, shall not be taken less than the
maximum of:
— 1 % of the rated load plus 1 % of the mass of the main boom and jib reduced to the boom head or jib
head (see ISO 4305, ISO 4310); and
— 2 % of the rated load for latticed booms or 3 % for telescopic booms.
5.3 Hoisting effects
5.3.1 Hoisting effects acting on the mass of the crane, except for the rated load itself, shall be calculated
according to ISO 8686-1:2012, 6.1.1 (see also Table 2, line 1)
5.3.2 Hoisting effects acting on the mass of the rated load shall be calculated according to
ISO 8686-1:2012, 6.1.2.
5.4 Driving effects
5.4.1 Driving acceleration
Loads caused by driving acceleration or deceleration, with or without load, shall be estimated from
experience or experiment, or by calculation using an appropriate model for the crane.
5.4.2 Driving on uneven surface
Loads caused by travelling on uneven surface shall be calculated according to ISO 8686-1:2012, 6.1.3
5.5 Luffing and telescoping effects
Loads caused by luffing and telescoping, with or without load, shall be estimated from experience or
experiment, or by calculation using an appropriate model for the crane.
5.6 Application of loads caused by acceleration
The forces on the mass of the crane caused by acceleration are amplified by an appropriate dynamic
amplification factor value, ϕ , according ISO 8686-1:2012, 6.1.4.
6 Proof-of-competence calculations for load-supporting structures
6.1 General
Principally, a proof of fatigue according to ISO 20332 and proof of rigid body stability according to
ISO 4305 shall be performed.
6.2 Allowable stress method

4.5 Automatically initiated actions
When mobile cranes are furnished with controls or devices that cut out drives and apply brakes without
an initiating action by the driver, or are furnished with brakes that automatically engage on loss of
power or control function, calculations reflecting those effects shall be carried out under Emergency
cut‐out, see column C4.
5 Loads from acceleration of crane drives
5.1 General
Mobile cranes are typically designed to accommodate a range of boom lengths and various extensions
or front‐end attachments. Therefore, some cranes can possess excess power in some configurations,
power that crane drivers in practice do not fully utilize (in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions). Therefore, in proof‐of‐competence calculations, the effects acting on the mass of the
crane, either acceleration or deceleration may need to be chosen on the basis of a simulation or tests
rather than on drive or brake characteristics.
5.2 Slewing effects
In practice, slewing acceleration and deceleration rates can vary depending on the front‐end
attachment fitted, the operating radius, the control scheme employed, the crane driver’s operating
practices, and the characteristics of the slewing drive and braking mechanisms. For proof‐of‐
competence calculations, the forces on the mass of the crane and the rated load by slewing acceleration
or deceleration which produce side loading can be taken as follows.
a) For cranes with stepped drive controls and for cranes in which the driver does not have control
over slewing acceleration or deceleration rates, the forces on the mass of the crane and the rated
load shall be calculated from drive/brake characteristics.
b) For cranes with stepless continuously variable drive controls, the forces on the mass of the crane
and the rated load shall be calculated based either on:
1) the highest forces which occur during normal operation as described in the manufacturer’s
instructions; or
2) a simulation or tests; or
3) drive/brake characteristics.
But the resulting lateral force from slewing, applied to the boom tip, shall not be taken less than the
maximum of:
— 1 % of the rated load plus 1 % of the mass of the main boom and jib reduced to the boom head or
jib head (see ISO 4305, ISO 4310); and
— 2 % of the rated load for latticed booms or 3 % for telescopic booms.
5.3 Hoisting effects

Loads caused by driving acceleration or deceleration, with or without load, shall be estimated from
experience or experiment, or by calculation using an appropriate model for the crane.
