ASME B30.5-2014 Mobile and Locomotive Cranes
standard by ASME International, 12/31/2014
Full Description
Within the general scope defined in Section I,American National Standard B30.5 applies to crawlercranes, locomotive cranes, wheel-mounted cranes, andany variations thereof that retain the same fundamentalcharacteristics. The scope includes only cranes of theabove types that are basically powered by internal combustionengines or electric motors. Side boom tractorsand cranes designed for railway and automobile wreckclearance, digger derricks, cranes manufactured specificallyfor, or when used for, energized electrical line service,knuckle boom, trolley boom cranes, and craneshaving a maximum rated capacity of one ton or less areexcluded.Special adaptions to the general types of machinescovered by this Volume, where applicable, fall underthis scope.
Some basic machine types within this scope are usedalternatively for lifting service and for applications notconsidered to be lifting service. All of the requirementsof this Volume are applicable to such machines whenused for lifting service. However, at a minimum,Section 5-1.11, Chapter 5-2, and Section 5-3.1 of thisVolume apply to machines when used in other thanlifting service.

FOREWORD
This American National Standard, Safety Standard for Cableways, Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks, and Slings, has been developed under the procedures accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This Standard had its beginning in December 1916 when an eight-page Code of Safety Standards for Cranes, prepared by an ASME Committee on the Protection of Industrial Workers, was presented at the annual meeting of the ASME.
Meetings and discussions regarding safety on cranes, derricks, and hoists were held from 1920 to 1925, involving the ASME Safety Code Correlating Committee, the Association of Iron and Steel Electrical Engineers, the American Museum of Safety, the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC) [later changed to American Standards Association (ASA), then to the United States of America Standards Institute (USASI), and finally to ANSI], Department of Labor — State of New Jersey, Department of Labor and Industry — State of Pennsylvania, and the Locomo- tive Crane Manufacturers Association. On June 11, 1925, AESC approved the ASME Safety Code Correlating Committee’s recommendation and authorized the project with the U.S. Department of the Navy, Bureau of Yards and Docks, and ASME as sponsors.
In March 1926, invitations were issued to 50 organizations to appoint representatives to a Sectional Committee. The call for organization of this Sectional Committee was sent out October 2, 1926, and the committee organized November 4, 1926, with 57 members representing 29 national organizations. Commencing June 1, 1927, and using the eight-page code published by ASME in 1916 as a basis, the Sectional Committee developed the “Safety Code for Cranes, Derricks, and Hoists.” The early drafts of this safety code included requirements for jacks but, due to inputs and comments on those drafts, the Sectional Committee decided in 1938 to make the requirements for jacks a separate code. In January 1943, ASA B30.2-1943 was published addressing a multitude of equipment types and in August 1943, ASA B30.1-1943 was published just addressing Jacks. Both documents were reaffirmed in 1952 and widely accepted as safety standards.
Due to changes in design, advancement in techniques, and general interest of labor and industry in safety, the Sectional Committee, under the joint sponsorship of ASME and the Bureau of Yards and Docks (now the Naval Facilities Engineering Command), was reorganized on January 31, 1962, with 39 members representing 27 national organizations. The new committee changed the format of ASA B30.2-1943 so that the multitude of equipment types it addressed could be published in separate volumes that could completely cover the construction, installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and operation of each type of equipment that was included in the scope of ASA B30.2. This format change resulted in the initial publication of B30.3, B30.5, B30.6, B30.11, and B30.16 being designated as “Revisions” of B30.2 with the remainder of the B30 volumes being published as totally new volumes. ASA changed its name to USASI in 1966 and to ANSI in 1969, which resulted in B30 volumes from 1943 to 1968 being designated as “ASA B30,” “USAS B30” or “ANSI B30” depending on their date of publication.
In 1982, the Committee was reorganized as an Accredited Organization Committee, operating under procedures developed by ASME and accredited by ANSI. This Standard presents a coordi- nated set of rules that may serve as a guide to government and other regulatory bodies and municipal authorities responsible for the guarding and inspection of the equipment falling within its scope. The suggestions leading to accident prevention are given both as mandatory and advisory provisions; compliance with both types may be required by employers of their employees. In case of practical difficulties, new developments, or unnecessary hardship, the administrative or regulatory authority may grant variances from the literal requirements or permit the use of other devices or methods, but only when it is clearly evident that an equivalent degree of protection is thereby secured. To secure uniform application and interpretation of this Standard, administrative or regulatory authorities are urged to consult the B30 Committee in accordance with the format described in Section IX of the Introduction, before rendering decisions on disputed
points.
v
Safety codes and standards are intended to enhance public safety. Revisions result from commit- tee consideration of factors such as technological advances, new data, and changing environmental and industry needs. Revisions do not imply that previous editions were inadequate.
The ASME B30.5-2007 edition added responsibilities to be assigned in the work site organization. The 2011 edition included minor revisions and the addition of the Nonmandatory Appendix A on critical lifts. This 2014 edition incorporates many global B30 changes including the addition of personnel competence and translation requirements as well as other revisions made throughout the document.
This edition of the B30.5 Volume was approved by the B30 Committee and by ASME, and was approved by ANSI and designated as an American National Standard on September 5, 2014.
