Hoists, Cranes and other Liing and material-movement related equipment USERS,
must be knowledgeable about the safe and proper use of this equipment and be aware
of their responsibilities as outlined in all applicable standards and regulations.
e ASME/ANSI B30 Standard contains provisions that apply to the construction,
installation, operation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and use of cranes and other
liing and material-movement related equipment.
As OSHA’s, ASME and ANSI standards state, the installation, setup and operation of
these units and equipment shall be performed by a qualied person.
OSHA requires rated load tests for new and altered cranes, OSHA’s standard at 29
CFR 1910.179(k) states:
Operational tests.
Prior to initial use all new and altered cranes shall be tested to insure compliance with
this section including the following functions:
Hoisting and lowering.
Trolley travel.
Bridge travel.
Limit switches, locking and safety devices.
e trip setting of hoist limit switches shall be determined by tests with an empty
hook traveling in increasing speeds up to the maximum speed. e actuating mecha-
nism of the limit switch shall be located so that it will trip the switch, under all condi-
tions, in sucient time to prevent contact of the hook or hook block with any part of
the trolley.
Rated load test. Test loads shall not be more than 125 percent of the rated load unless
otherwise recommended by the manufacturer.
Once a rated load test is performed, paragraph 1910.179(k)(2) requires that “[t]he test
reports shall be placed on le where readily available to appointed personnel.”
In order to ensure Safety and installation requirements Prowinch requires Load Tests
to be performed prior to initial use for all Hoists, Winches and Cranes, as well as
other related components. Not fullling this requirement is dangerous, could lead to
equipment failure and will automatically void the warranty.
e B30 Standard is intended to:
(a) Prevent or minimize injury to workers, and otherwise provide for the protection
of life, limb, and property by prescribing safety requirements.
(b) Provide direction to manufacturers, owners, employers, users, and others con-
cerned with, or responsible for, its application.

(c) Guide governments and other regulatory bodies in the development, promulga-
tion, and enforcement of appropriate safety directives.
e equipment covered by the B30 Standard is subject to hazards that cannot be abat-
ed by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common
sense. It is therefore essential to have personnel involved in the use and operation of
equipment who are competent, careful, physically and mentally qualied, and trained
in the proper operation of the equipment and the handling of loads. Serious hazards
include, but are not limited to, improper or inadequate maintenance, overloading,
dropping or slipping of the load, obstructing the free passage of the load, and using
equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended or designed.
Failure to Read, Understand and Follow the information in the corresponding ASME
B30 Standard for your Hoist and Liing equipment may result in severe INJURY or
DEATH. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to consider all risk factors and follow all the
equipment related ASME B30 standard, which comprises the following volumes:
B30.1 Jacks, Industrial Rollers, Air Casters, and Hydraulic Gantries.
B30.2 Overhead and Gantry Cranes (Top Running Bridge, Single or Multiple Girder,
Top Running Trolley Hoist).
B30.3 Tower Cranes.
B30.4 Portal and Pedestal Cranes.
B30.5 Mobile and Locomotive Cranes.
B30.6 Derricks.
B30.7 Winches.
B30.8 Floating Cranes and Floating Derricks.
B30.9 Slings.
B30.10 Hooks.
B30.11 Monorails and Underhung Cranes.

5. Control System
The range of ange width is adjustable.
Motor include disc type brakes. Side
guide are to promote the trolley motion
smooth and minimize the wear of wheel
and beam.
The limit switch will cut o the motor cir-
cuit and prevent the damage to hois struc-
ture and load chain when over-lifting or
over-lowering happens.
Increasing the number of load sheave pock-
ets helps relieve vibrations produced by
revolving polygonal sheave on the hoist’s
body and load chain.
Canvas chain containers is a standard t-
tings. Operation fabricated steel containers
are available for long lift applications.
The length of the control is 4 feet less
than the lifting height, which allows it to
be easily operated from ground-level. An
optional wireless remote control is avail-
able for extra convenience.
