ISO/TC 96/SC 9 - Bridge and gantry cranes

This document provides specific requirements for anchoring devices for in-service and out-of-service conditions for cranes and crane parts as defined in ISO 4306-1.

This document establishes the arrangement, requirements and direction of movement of the basic controls for travelling, traversing, slewing, cab movement and load hoisting and lowering operations for all cab-operated, overhead travelling cranes and portal bridge cranes, as defined in ISO 4306-1 and ISO 4306-5.

This document specifies information to be provided by: a) a purchaser in enquiring about or ordering an overhead travelling crane or portal bridge crane; b) a manufacturer in tendering for or supplying an overhead travelling crane or portal bridge crane.

ISO 9927-5:2017 specifies the inspections to be carried out on bridge and gantry cranes. It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 9927‑1. It does not cover inspection prior to the first use of a bridge or gantry crane.

ISO 8566-5:2017 establishes the requirements for cabins and control stations for overhead travelling and portal bridge cranes as defined in ISO 4306‑1. ISO 8566-5:2017 takes the conditions of use of the cabin into consideration.

ISO 8686-5:2017 establishes the application of ISO 8686‑1 to overhead travelling and portal bridge cranes as defined in ISO 4306‑1 and gives specific values for the factors to be used.

ISO 17096:2015 specifies safety requirements for the following non-fixed load lifting attachments for cranes, hoists, and manually controlled load manipulating devices as defined in Clause 3: - plate clamps; - vacuum lifters; - self priming, - non-self-priming (pump, venturi, turbine); - electric lifting magnets (battery-fed and main-fed); - permanent lifting magnets; - electro-permanent lifting magnets; - lifting beams/spreader beams; - C-hooks; - lifting forks; - clamps. ISO 17096:2015 does not specify the additional requirements for the following: a) load lifting attachments in direct contact with foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals requiring a high level of cleanliness for hygiene reasons; b) hazards resulting from handling hazardous materials (e.g. explosives, hot molten masses, radiating materials); c) hazards caused by operation in an explosive atmosphere; d) hazards caused by noise; e) electrical hazards; f) hazards due to hydraulic and pneumatic components. ISO 17096:2015 does not cover attachments intended to lift people. ISO 17096:2015 does not cover slings, ladles, expanding mandrels, buckets, grabs or grab buckets, and container spreaders.

ISO 22986:2007 gives guidance on the stiffness properties of the structures for bridge and gantry cranes in terms of deflections and natural frequencies.

ISO 10972-5:2006 establishes the particular requirements relating to mechanisms for bridge and gantry cranes as defined in ISO 4306-1. The general requirements for mechanisms for cranes are given in ISO 10972-1. These particular requirements concern the general layout and design of mechanisms, the selection and/or design requirements of components and the instructions for manufacturing, mounting, installation and testing. Rules for proof of competence calculations regarding different limit states (yield strength, fatigue, wear) are excluded from ISO 10972-5:2006.

ISO TR 16880:2004 collects the design and manufacturing requirements and recommendations for bridge and gantry cranes in ISO and IEC International Standards.

This part of ISO 11660 establishes the particular requirements relating to the access, guards and restraints for bridge and gantry cranes as defined in ISO 4306-1 and gives criteria for the selection of the appropriate equipment under the various conditions of use expected of the crane.

Specifies the requirements for limiting and indicating devices of bridges and gantry cranes for loads, motions, performance and environment. General requirements for limiting and indicating devices for cranes are given in ISO 10245-1.

Establishes the classification of cranes based on the number of operating cycles to be carried out during the expected life of the appliance and its mechanisms, and a load spectrum factor which represents the nominal state of loading.

This part of ISO 12210 establishes the general criteria for the provision of anchoring devices for cranes and crane parts for in-service and out-of-service conditions. Other parts of ISO 11210 present the requirements for specific crane types.

This part of ISO 12210 provides specific requirements for anchoring devices for in-service and out-of-service conditions for jib cranes as defined in ISO 4306-1, other than tower cranes, mobile cranes and railway cranes that are otherwise generally covered by other parts of ISO 12210.

Establishes the application of ISO 8686-1 to overhead travelling and portal bridge cranes as defined in ISO 4306-1, and gives specific values for the factors to be used.

Establishes the general requirements for cabin construction, driver's seat, visibility, control elements, information, noise, vibration, heating and air-conditioning for cranes as defined in ISO 4306-1.

Establishes the requirements for cabin construction, driver's seat, control elements, heating and cooling for cranes as defined in ISO 4306-1.

Specifies information to be provided by: a purchaser in enquiring about or ordering a crane, a manufacturer in tendering for or supplying a crane. Annex A forms an integral part of this standard.

Specifies the manufacturing tolerances at standard temperature of 20 °C. These tolerances apply to a lifting appliance loaded solely by ist own mass. Tolerances take no account of elastic deformation during operation.

Establishes the arrangement, requirements and direction of movement of the basic controls for travelling, traversing, slewing, cab driving, lifting, hoisting and lowering operations for these cranes as defined in ISO 4306-1.
