V.02.23 [LM]
Hoists, Cranes, and other Lifting 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.
The ASME/ANSI B30 Standard contains provisions for the construction, installation, opera-
tion, inspection, testing, maintenance, and use of cranes and other lifting and mate-
rial-movement-related equipment.
As OSHA’s, ASME, and ANSI standards state, a qualied person shall perform the installa-
tion, setup, and operation of these units and equipment.
OSHA requires rated load tests for new and altered cranes. OSHA’s standard at 29 CFR
1910.179(k) states:
Operational tests.
Before initial use, all new and altered cranes must be tested to ensure compliance with this
section, including the following functions:
Hoisting and lowering.
Trolley travel.
Bridge travel.
Limit switches, locking, and safety devices.
The trip setting of hoist limit switches shall be determined by tests with an empty hook
traveling at increasing speeds up to the maximum speed. The actuating mechanism of the
limit switch must be located so that it will trip the switch, under all conditions, 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 be at most 125 percent of the rated load unless otherwise
recommended by the manufacturer. Once you have performed a rated load test, paragra-
ph 1910.179(k)(2) requires that test reports be placed on le where readily available to
appropriate 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.

Safety Bulletin
(c) Guide governments and other regulatory bodies in developing, communicating, and
enforcing appropriate safety directives.
The equipment covered by the B30 Standard is subject to hazards that cannot be reduced
by mechanical means but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It
is essential to have personnel involved in the use and operation of equipment that is com-
petent, 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 corresponding ASME B30 Standard information
for your Hoist and Lifting 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:
To ensure safety and installation requirements, Prowinch requires a Load Test to be perfor-
med before initial use for all Hoists, Winches, and Cranes, as well as other related compo-
nents. Not fullling this requirement is dangerous, could lead to equipment failure, and
will automatically void the warranty.
The B30 Standard is intended to:
(a) Prevent or minimize worker injury and otherwise provide for protecting life, limb, and
property by prescribing safety requirements. (b) Provide direction to manufacturers,
owners, employers, users, and others responsible for proper application.

Powerhouse and utilities with infrequent handling. Using
hoists primarily to install and service heavy equipment, where
loads frequently approach rated load and where the hoist is
idle for a 1 to 6-month period between operations.
Light machine shop, fabricating service, and maintenance use.
Loads and utilization are distributed randomly. Rated loads are
infrequently handled—total running time is less than 12.5% of
the work period.
General machine shop, fabricating, assembly, storage, and
warehousing. Loads and utilization are randomly distributed.
Total running time is at most 25% of the work period.
High-volume handling of heavy loads: frequently near rated
loads such as steel warehousing, machine and fabricating
shops, mills, and foundries, with a total running time of not
more than 50% of the work period. Manual or automatic
cycling of lighter loads with rated loads infrequently handled,
such as in heat treating and plating operations, with total
running time frequently 50% of the work period.
Bulk handling of material in combination with buckets, mag-
nets, or other heavy attachments. Equipment is often cab
operated. Duty cycles approaching continuous operation are
frequently necessary. The user must specify the exact details of
the process, including the weight of the attachments.
