2.1 Applications planning
The basis of trouble-free operation is thorough planning of the application.
In good time before the operator drives the machine to the site of operation, he must obtain or provide
himself with all the data and documents required for the work as a whole, especially as regards:
•
preparation of a precise time schedule;
•
the type of crane operation in question;
•
the weight and the size of the load to be lifted;
•
the required working radius and lifting height;
•
the stability of the ground at the site of crane installation;
•
the local conditions and restrictions at the site of crane installation, if any;
•
finding out approach roads the vehicle can use given its length, width, height, and its total weight, and
taking account of the admissible carrying capacity of bridges, headroom of underpasses and road widths.
•
electrical overhead lines and their voltage.
•
If necessary, request a police escort and obtain official permits.
•
The applicable travel or exception permits.
•
The appropriate paragraphs of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (in Germany: StVZO) and Road
Traffic Regulations (in Germany: StVO) of the country where the machine is to be registered, must be
observed.
•
Admissible limits for admissible axle loads and gross vehicle weights.
The crane equipment required for execution of the planned application must be prepared in accordance with
the information on hand, especially:
•
load hooks or bottom blocks,
•
jib,
•
counterweights,
•
load securing ropes, chain suspension devices, crossbeams and other, similar attachments,
•
supporting plates for the ground, if necessary,
•
an auxiliary vehicle for transport, if any.
DANGER
If the crane operator is not given all the data he requires, the work planned at the site
of application may prove to be impossible; this may even force him to improvise. This
in turn increases the risk of accidents.
