Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2004
Scope:
Within the general scope as defined in Section I, B30.3 applies to
construction tower cranes,
powered by electric motors or internal combustion engines, and any
variations thereof which retain
the same fundamental characteristics. The scope includes cranes of the
above type that adjust
operating radius by means of a boom luffing mechanism, or by means of
a trolley traversing a
horizontal boom, or by means of a combination of the two. Construction
tower cranes may be mounted
on fixed or traveling bases. Additional mounting means may include
arrangements that permit the
crane to climb in the structure being built, or that permit increasing
the tower height as the
structure rises and utilizing braces attached to the host structure as
needed.
The requirements of this volume are applicable only to cranes when
used in lifting work.
Permanently mounted tower cranes (refer to ASME B30.4) and mobile
crane tower attachments (refer to
ASME B30.5) are not within the scope of this volume.
