42 Rigging

1. PROCEDURE
1. Rigging Safety

 Rigging is the movement of objects such as machinery and equipment using ropes,
slings, cable, rollers, hoist, and cranes. For safe rigging, the riggings tools and
equipment must be in good condition and of the required strength to handle the load
being rigged.
 The greater the size and weight of an object, the greater the chance for injury and
destruction. Estimating the weight of an object and selecting the proper rigging are the
most important aspects in rigging safety. An estimate is a close calculation, not a guess.
Estimate must be accurate to plus or minus 20 percent for light objects, but must be
much more accurate for heavy objects.
 As with any job, safety is the first consideration for rigging and moving ant object.
When performing rigging operations, follow these basic safety rules:
a) Make sure that you and the equipment operator agree on the signals to be used
before attempting to move ant objects.
b) Thoroughly inspect all rigging equipment before using it, and cut defective slings /
Ropes in to unsuitable shot pieces.
c) Always wear protective gloves when handling wire rope
d) Never tie a knot in wire rope
e) Never kink a wire rope
f) Use only approved Rigging equipment. Never use welded rings or field –Fabricated
lifting devices formed from bolts, rods, rebar or other materials.
g) Be careful to find the center of gravity of an object before attempting lift it.
h) Always test lift an object 1 to 2 inches to ensure that it balanced.
i) Never exceed the capacity of the rigging equipment.
j) When using chain falls or other lifting devices, ensure that the device is rigged to
will support intended load.
k) Inspect rigging regularly during extended work periods.
l) Never stand beneath or place any part of the body beneath a suspended body.
m) Carefully follow manufacturer’s instructions when fabricating wire rope and fittings
or other riggings.
n) Never use any rigging for anything other than its intended purpose.
o) Always choose rigging that fits the object to be moved
p) Riggers must be trained to determine weights and distance and properly select and
use lifting tackles.
q) Crew members must understand their specific safety responsibilities and report any
unsafe conditions or practices to the proper personnel immediately.
 r) Personnel who work around mobile cranes must obey all warning signs and watch
out for their own safety and the safety of others.
s) Crew members setting up machines or handling loads must be properly trained and
aware of proper machine erection and rigging procedure.
t) Watch for hazards during operations and alert the operator and signalman of
dangers such as power lines, the presence of people other equipment, or unstable
ground conditions.
u) Operation must be properly trained competent , physically fit , alert free from the
influences of alcohol, drugs, or medications and if required licensed operate
cranes, Good vision, judgment, coordination, and mental ability are also required
v) Operators who do not possess all these qualities must not be allowed to operate
the equipment.
w) Signalman must have good vision and sound judgment. They must know the
standard crane signals and beable to give the signals clearly
x) They must have enough experience to be able to recognize hazards and signal the
operator to avoid them.

3. LOADS
3.1 Load ratings where stability governs lifting performance

 The margin of stability for determination of load ratings, with booms of

stipulated lengths at stipulated working radii for the various types of crane
mountings, is established by taking a percentage of the loads which will
produce a condition of tripping or balance with the boom in the least direction
relative to the mounting. The load ratings shall not exceed the manufacturer’s
recommendations as posted on the load chart in each crane.
 The effectiveness of these of these proceeding stability factor will be influence
by such additional factors as freely suspended loads, track, wind, or ground
condition, condition an inflation or rubber tires, boom lengths, proper
operating speeds for existing conditions, and in general careful and competent
operator
3.2 Load rating chart

shall be provided with each crane and securely fixed to crane cabin in a
location easily visible to the operator while seated at his control station.
4. INSPECTION
4.1 Inspection Classification – Initial inspection prior to initial use cranes shall be inspected to
ensure compliance with provision of the section.
4.2 Regular Inspection – Inspection procedure for cranes in regular service is divided into two
general classification based upon the intervals and which inspection should be performed. The
intervals in turn are depended upon the nature of the critical components of the crane and the
degree of their exposure to wear, deterioration or malfunction.
4.3 The two general classification are therein designated as frequent and periodic with
respective interval between inspections and define below
4.3.1 Frequent inspection; Daily to monthly interval.
4.3.2 Periodic inspection; 1 to 12 month intervals. Or as specifically recommended by
manufactures
4.4 Frequent Inspection – item shall be inspected for defects at intervals as specified by the
manufacturer, including observation during operation, for any defects, which might appear
between regular inspections. Any of the following deficiencies shall be carefully examined and a
determination made as to whether they constitute a safety hazard

 All control mechanism for maladjustment interfering with proper operation; daily
 All control mechanism for excessive wear of components and contamination by
lubricants or other foreign matter.
 All safety devises for malfunction.
 Deportation or leakage in air hydraulic systems; daily
 Crane hooks for deformation or cracks. For hooks with cracks or having more than 15
percent in excess of normal throat opening or more than 10 deg. Twist from the
plane or the unbent hook.
 Electrical apparatus for malfunctioning, sign of excessive deterioration dirt, and
moisture accumulation.
4.5 periodic inspection- A complete inspection of the crane shall be performed at intervals
recommended by the manufacture or a specifically indicated below. Any of the following
deficiencies shall be carefully examined and a determination made a to whether they constitute
a safety hazard.
4.5.1 Deformed cracked or corroded members in the crane structure and boom
4.5.2 Loose hoist and reverts
4.5.3 Cracked or own worn sheaves and drums.

4.6 Inspection Records - Certification records, which includes the date of inspection. The
signature of the person who performed the inspection, and the derail number, or other
identifier, of the crane which was inspected shall be made monthly on critical items in use such
as brakes, crane hooks, and ropes. This certification record shall be kept readily available.
5. TESTING
In addition to prototype tests and quality control measure, each shall be tested by the
manufacturer to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with the operational requirement
of this paragraph, including functions such as the following:

 Load hoisting and lowering mechanisms.

 Boom hoisting and lowering mechanisms
 Swing mechanism
 Travel mechanism
 Safety devices
Where the complete production crane is not supplied by one manufacturer, such tests shall be
conducted at final assembly.
Certified production crane – tests results shall be made available.

adequacy of repairs or alterations.
Test loads shall not exceed 100 percent of the rated load at any selected working radius. Where
re-rating test report shall be readily available.
No cranes shall be re- rated excess of the original load ratings unless such rating changes are
approved by the crane manufacturer or final assembler.

6. GENERAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

After adjustments and repair have been made the crane shall not be operated until all guards have been
reinstalled safety devices reactivated and maintenance equipment removed.

6.1 Rope Inspection for Running Ropes

A thorough inspection of all ropes in use shall be made at least once a month and a certification
record, which includes the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection
and an identifier for the ropes, shall be prepared and kept on file and be readily available. All inspections
shall be performed by an appointed or authorized person. Any deterioration, resulting in appreciable
loss of original strength shall be carefully observed and determination made as to whether further use
of the rope.

Would constitute a safety hazard, some of the conditions that could result in an appreciable loss of
strength are the following:

 Reduction of rope diameter due to loss of core support, internal or external corrosion, or wear
of outside wires.
 A number of broken outside wires and the degree of distribution of concentration of such
broken wires.
 Worn outside wire.
  Corroded or broken wire at end connections.
 Corroded cracked bent worn or improperly applied end connections.
 Severe kinking, crushing, or cutting.

6.2 Rope replacement criteria


It is of four categories
1. Crown breaks

The crown wires are those that make contact with the sheave and they will show signs of
abrasion. If enough abrasion and/or rope fatigue due to bending takes place, the crown wires
will break. When using this criterion, an inspector is looking for the number of total crown wire
breaks within a rope lay.. a rope lay is approximately 6.5 times the diameter of the rope . For
example, the rope lay

Dia of rope Rope lay

Inches Mm Inches Mm
3/8 9.5 2.44 62
1/2 12.7 3.25 83
5/8 15.9 4.06 103

2. Valley breaks
The valley wires are located in the valleys of two adjacent strands. They do not make contact
with the sheave and therefore should not experience abrasion. Valley breaks are attributed to
rope fatigue due to bending.

3. Diameter reduction
If the ropes reach a specified diameter reduction, they should be replaced even if no crown or
valley breaks are present. Allowable maximum reduced diameters.

Actual Diameter Maximum reduced diameter

Inches Mm Inches Mm
3/8 9.5 11/32 8.73
7/16 11.11 13/32 10.32
½ 12.7 15/32 11.91
9/16 14.29 17/32 13.49
5/8 15.9 37/64 14.68
11/16 17.46 41/64 16.27
¾ 19.5 45/64 17.86
1 25.4 15/16 23.81

4. Red dust or Rough

 The existence of red dust, or rough, is also a factor in determining rope replacement.

 Heavy wear and /or broken wires may occur in sections in contact with equalizer sheaves or
other sheaves where rope travel is limited, or with saddles. Particular care shall be taken to
inspect ropes at these locations.
 All ropes, which has been idle for a period of one month or more, shall be given a thorough
inspection before it is used. This inspection shall be for all types of deterioration and shall be
performed by an appointed or authorized person whose approval shall be required for further
use of the rope.
A certification record which includes the date of inspection, the signature of the person who
performed the inspection and an identifier for the rope which was inspected, shall be
prepared and kept readily available.
Particular care shall be taken in the inspection of non-rotating rope.

6.3 Handling the Load

 No crane shall be loaded beyond the rated load, expect for test purpose.
Overloading during testing will only be permitted by, or with the full consent of the
manufacturer.
 When loads which are limited to be structure competence rather than the stability are to be
handled, it shall be ascertained that the weight of the loads has been determined within plus
or minus 10 percent before it is lifted.

6.4 Attached the Load

 No part of the crane’ rope shall be wrapped around the load. The load shall be attached to the
hook by means of slings or other approved devices.
When moving the load, the employee shall assure that:
A) The crane is level within 1 degree of horizontal.
B) The load is well secured and properly balanced in the sling or lifting device before it is
lifted more than five inches.
 Before starting to hoist, the following conditions shall be noted:
1. Hoist shall not be kinked.
2. Multiple part lines shall not be twisted around each other.
3. The hook shall be brought over the load in such a manner as to prevent swinging.
 During hoisting care shall be taken that :
a) There is no sudden acceleration or deceleration of the moving load.
b) The load does not contact any obstructions side loading of booms shall be limited to
freely suspended loads.
c) Cranes shall not be used for dragging loads sideways.
d) No hoisting , lowering, swinging or traveling shall be done while anyone is on the load or
hook
e) The operator should avoid carrying loads over people.
f) On truck – mounted cranes, no loads shall be lifted over the front area except as
approved by the crane manufacturer.
 g) The operator shall test the brakes each time a load, approaching the maximum rated load,
is handled. This will be done by raising the load a few inches and applying the brakes.
h) Outriggers shall be used when the load to be handled at the particular radius exceeds the
rated load without outriggers as given by the manufacturer for that crane. Where floats
are used they shall be securely attached to the outriggers.
 Wood block used to support outriggers shall;
a) Be strong enough to prevent crushing;
b)
c) Be free from defects;
d) Be of sufficient width and length to prevent shifting or toppling under load.
 Neither the load nor the boom shall be lowered below the point where less than two full
wraps of rope remain on their respective drums.
 Before lifting loads with locomotive cranes without using outriggers, means shall be applied to
prevent the load from being carried by the truck springs.
 When two or more cranes are used to lift one load, one designated person shall be
responsible for the operation. He shall be required to analyze the operation and instruct all
personnel involved in the proper positioning, rigging of the load and the movements to be
made.
 In transit the following additional precautions shall be exercised:
 The superstructure shall be secured against rotation except when negotiating turns when
there is an operator in the cab or the boom is supported on a dolly.
The empty hook shall be lashed or otherwise restrained so that it cannot swing freely.
 Before traveling a crane with load, a designated person shall be responsible for determining
and controlling safety. Decisions such as position of load, boom location ground support,
travel route, and sped of movement shall be in accord with his determinations.
 A crane with or without load shall not be traveled with the boom so high that it may bounce
back over the cab.
 When rotating the crane sudden stars and stops shall be avoided.
 Rotational speed shall be such that the load does not swing out beyond the radii ay which it
can be controlled. A tag or restraint line shall be used, when rotation of the load is hazardous.
 When a crane is to be operated at a fixed radius, the boom – hoist pawl or other positive
locking device shall be engaged.
 Ropes shall not be handled on which head without the knowledge of the operator.
 While a winch head is being used, the operator shall be within convenient reach of the power
unit control level.

7. HOLDING THE LOAD

 The operator shall not be permitted to leave his positions at the controls while the load is
suspended. No person should be permitted to stand or pass under a load on the hook. If the
load must remain suspended for any considerable length of time the operator shall hold the
drum from rotating in the lowering direction by activating the positive controllable means of the
operator’s station.
  Additional requirements:
Rail clamps shall not be used as a means of restraining tipping of a locomotive crane.
 Ballast or counterweight:
Cranes shall not be opened without the full amount of any ballast on counter weight, in place as
specified by the manufacturer.
