CRANE ACCESS POINTS
General
See Figure 2-1 for the following precautions.
Manitowoc Cranes has provided stairways, ladders, and
platforms at the locations shown.
The owner/user shall provide workers with approved ladders
or aerial work platforms to access those areas of the crane,
mast, and boom that cannot be reached from the ground or
from steps, ladders, catwalks, and platforms provided by
Manitowoc Cranes.
NOTE: Adhere to local, state, and federal regulations for
handling personnel and for personnel fall
protection.
• Access points must be kept clear to prevent personal
injury and unsafe operation of crane. Store clothing and
other personal belongings so they do not interfere with
controls in operator’s cab or with operation of crane.
• Do not allow ground personnel to store their personal
belongings (for example, clothing, lunch boxes, and
water coolers) on the crane.
This practice will prevent ground personnel from being
crushed or electrocuted when they attempt to access
personal belongings stored on the crane.
• Tools, oil cans, spare parts, and other necessary
equipment must be stored in tool boxes or other
appropriate locations. Do not allow these items to lie
around loose in the operator’s cab or on steps, ladders,
catwalks, and platforms.
• To reduce the risk of slipping, non-skid material (sand in
paint) has been applied to painted walkways and
platforms. When non-skid material wears out, reapply it.
• Wear shoes with a highly slip-resistant sole material.
Clean any mud or debris from shoes before entering the
crane cab or climbing onto the cab. A shoe that is not
clean might slip off a control pedal during operation.
• Do not make modifications or additions to the crane’s
access system that have not been evaluated and
approved by Manitowoc Cranes.
• Do not use the top of the mast, boom, or jib as walkways
unless they have catwalks.
NOTE: Catwalks are available from Manitowoc Cranes for
boom and jib sections.
Two optional ladders, stored in 12 m (40 ft) insert
next to the boom butt, are available for boom
assembly and disassembly. See Boom Ladder
Assembly in Section 4 for more information.
WARNING
Crush Hazard!
Upperworks can swing into and crush personnel climbing
on or off the crane.
Moving crawlers can crush personnel climbing on or off
the crane.
To prevent death or serious injury:
• Place barricades at all of the accessible swing areas
of the crane to prevent personnel from being struck or
crushed when the upperworks is in motion.
• Do not climb onto or off the crane while upperworks is
being swung or the crane is being traveled.
• Signal the operator for permission to climb on or off
the crane.
• Do not swing or travel while personnel are climbing
on or off the crane. Stop swing and travel motions.
Apply swing brake and turn on travel park.
• Always sound horn to alert personnel before you
swing or travel.
• Automatic alarms will sound to alert personnel when
the crane is swung or traveled.
NOTE: If the swing and travel alarms are not operating
properly, they must be repaired as soon as
possible. Until they are repaired, the operator
shall alert personnel to crane movement using
the horn on the control console.
WARNING
Falling Hazard!
Falling from any height could result in serious injury or
death.
Take necessary precautions to prevent slipping and/or
falling off the crane during assembly, disassembly,
maintenance, or other work.
CAUTION
Slippery Surface Hazard!
Always keep walkways and platforms clean and dry to
prevent slipping.
Walkways and platforms can be slippery when wet, or
when oil or grease is spilled on them.
