FOREWORD

“rhis Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Cranes,
Lifting Chains and Its Related Equipment Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering
Division Council.

This standard covers mechanical and electrical aspects related to design, manufacture, erection and testing of the
j ih cranes required for the shop floor and general workshop applications like pillar, wall bracket jib cranes
including moving cantilever wall cranes.

There is no lSO/IEC Standard on the subject. This standard has been prepared based on indigenous manufacturers
data/practices prevalent in the field in India.

The new classifications of cranes now coming into effect as per IS 13834 (Part 1) :1994 ‘Cranes — Classification:
Part 1 General’ and the classification presently in use can approximately be compared as follows :
