18000 OPERATOR MANUAL SAFETY INFORMATION
2
• For wire rope suspended platforms, the crane is
equipped with a hook latch that can be closed and
locked, eliminating the throat opening.
• The platform is properly attached and secure.
• Personnel platforms must not be used in winds
exceeding 20 mph (9 m/s) at the hoisted platform height,
or in electric storms, snow, ice, sleet, or other adverse
weather conditions which could affect the safety of
personnel.
• Hoisting personnel within 20 ft (6 m) of a power line that
is up to 350 kV or within 50 ft (15 m) of a power line that
is over 350 kV is PROHIBITTED, except for work
covered in OSHA 29CFR1926 subpart V.
For operation outside the United States, the requirements of
the applicable national, state and local regulations and
safety codes must be met. This may include, in addition to
the above:
• Automatic brakes such that when the equipment
operating controls are released, the motions are brought
to rest.
• A holding device (such as a load hold check valve) must
be provided in the hydraulic or pneumatic systems to
prevent uncontrolled movement of the hoisting
equipment in the case of a system failure.
Manitowoc offers upgrade packages for friction controlled
models to install anti-two-block, dead man control, and
automatic hoist system control requirements to satisfy other
codes and standards.
Manitowoc recommends that cranes be properly maintained,
regularly inspected, and repaired as necessary. All safety
signs must be in place and legible. We also urge Manitowoc
crane owners to upgrade their cranes with rated capacity
indicator/limiter systems for all lifting operations.
