Description / Abstract:
Volume B30.24 includes provisions that apply to the
construction, installation, operation, inspection, testing, and
maintenance of container cranes used for lifting purposes, in
conjunction with equipment described in other volumes of the B30
Standard. This Volume includes power-operated cranes of the above
type whose power source is either self-contained or provided
externally; single, double, or box girder construction, utilizing a
trolley and a container-handling spreader or other applicable
lifting apparatus (cargo hook, cargo beam, magnet, etc.); and rail-
or rubber tire-mounted with through-the-legs or between-the-legs
operation. Use of the same hardware for purposes other than lifting
is excluded from the provisions of this Volume. This Volume does
not apply to small industrial truck-type cranes, container-handling
toploaders and sideloaders, or mobile straddle-type industrial
lifts.
