HOIST BOOM AND CRANE

DEFINITION OF TERMS

- crane is consist of a rotating structure for lifting and lowering horizontally

structure on rubber tires or crawler treads.

- hoist is used to lift and lower load.

- boom is an inclined spar, strut or other long member supporting the hoisting
tackle.

USAGE OF CRANE

- a hoist rope, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that can be used both to lift
and lower materials and to move them horizontally.
- It is mainly used for lifting heavy things and transporting them to other places. It
uses one or more simple machines to create mechanical advantage and thus
move loads beyond the normal capability of a human.
- it is uses one or more simple machines to craete a mechanical advantage and
thus move loads beyond the normal capability of a human.

USAGE OF HOIST

- used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which
rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically
orpneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting
medium. The load is attached to the hoist by means of a lifting hook.
- used to lift a heavy item or even a person. Hoist are usually placed overhead
and attached to the sling, and may have a power supply.
- use a suspension system, sling, and power supply cable.

USAGE OF BOOM
- used in several different professions in every day life. Firefighters, may depend
on boom lifts on the back of fire trucks instead of ladders.
- commonly used for includes window cleaning, construction, foresting, mining,
electrical and cable repair, and even painting. In the film industry.
-used to suspend large lights over the soundstage and are known as condors.
CONSTRUCTION and PARTS OF HOIST, BOOM and CRANE

PISTON RAM- is treated and polished to resist skiving.

DURABLE FRAME- is constructed of high grade steel and built to

exacting standards for quality and durability.

FOLDABLE- design for convenient easy storage

Paint is oil-, grease- and dirt-resistant for easy clean up

4-hole position reinforced boom enable 4 different load capacities

Includes engine levelermaking engine handling and positioning easier

Rolls on6 solid steel casters for easy mobility.

Floor operated a crane that is controlled via a pendant or wireless control

console by an operator on the floor or a platform independent of the crane.

Gantry similar to an overhead travelling crane except that the bridge for
carrying the trolley or trolleys is rigidly supported on two or more movable legs
running on fixed rails or other runway

Jib a fixed crane consisting of a supported vertical member from which

extends a horizontal swinging arm carrying the hoisting mechanism.

Pillar a fixed crane consisting of a vertical member with a revolving boom

supported at the outer end by a tension member.

Polar a bridge or gantry crane that travels on a circular track.

Tower a crane in which a boom, swinging jib or other structural member is

mounted on a vertical mast or tower.

Climber a crane erected upon and supported by a building or other structure

and that may be raised or lowered to different floors or levels of the building or
structure.

Free-standing a crane with a horizontally swinging boom that may be on a

fixed base or mounted on rails.

Mobile a crane mounted on a crawler tractor, truck or similar carrier for travel
or transit.
Self-erecting truck carrier mounted and capable of self-erection.

Hammerhead a rotating, counterbalanced cantilever, equipped with one or

more trolleys and supported by a pivot or turntable on a travelling or fixed tower.

Wall crane a crane having a jib with or without a trolley and supported from a
side wall or line of columns of a building.

Operation and Function of Crane and Hoist

1 Tower crane (Class CT) - covers the operation of a jib or boom crane mounted on a tower
structure, demountable or permanent, including both horizontal and luffing jib types.

2 Self-erecting tower crane (Class CS) - covers the operation of a crane where the tower structure
and boom/jib elements are not disassembled into component sections, which can be transported
between sites as a complete unit, and where the erection and dismantling processes are an inherent
part of the crane's function.

3 Derrick crane (Class CD) - covers the operation of a slewing strut-boom crane with its boom
pivoted at the base of a mast which is either guyed (guy-derrick) or held by backstays (stiff-legged
derrick) and which is capable of luffing under load.

4 Portal boom crane (Class CP) - covers the operation of a boom crane or jib crane mounted on a
portal frame, which is supported on runways along which the crane travels.

5 Bridge and gantry crane (Class CB) - covers the operation of bridge and gantry cranes controlled
from a permanent cabin or control station on the crane and those which are remote controlled
having more than three powered operations (hoist, raise and lower equals one operation), including
the application of load estimation and slinging techniques to move a load.

6 Vehicle loading crane (Class CV) - covers the operation of a crane with a capacity of 10 metre
tonnes or more, mounted on a vehicle to move a load onto or from the vehicle, including the
application of load estimation and slinging techniques to move a load.

7 Non-slewing mobile crane (Class CN) - covers the operation of a mobile crane of greater than 3
tonnes capacity that incorporates a boom or jib which includes articulated type mobile cranes and
locomotive cranes, but does not include vehicle tow trucks.

8 Slewing mobile crane (Class C2) - with a capacity up to 20 tonnes

9 Slewing mobile crane (Class C6) - with a capacity up to 60 tonnes

10 Slewing mobile crane (Class C1) - with a capacity up to 100 tonnes

11 Slewing mobile crane (Class C0) - with a capacity over 100 tonnes

12 Materials hoist (Class HM) - covers the operation of a builder's hoist by which only goods or
materials and not personnel may be hoisted and where the car, bucket or platform is cantilevered
from, and travels up and down externally to, a face of the support structure.
13 Personnel and materials hoist (Class HP) - covers the operation of a builder's hoist in which
personnel, goods and/or materials may be hoisted, and which comprises a car, structure, machinery
or other equipment associated with the hoist, and which may be either a cantilever hoist, a tower
hoist or a multiple winch operation.

14
Boom-type elevating work platform (Class WP) - covers the operation of a telescoping device,

hinged device, or articulated device or any combination of these used to support a platform on which

personnel, equipment and materials may be elevated to perform work, where the boom length is 11

metres or more. The 11 metre boom length shall be taken to mean the greater of the following:

the vertical distance from the floor of the platform to the ground supporting the elevating

work platform with the platform at its maximum height, or

the nominal reach measured from the centre point of rotation to the outer edge of the

platform in its most extended position.

15 Vehicle-mounted concrete placing boom (Class PB) - covers the operation of vehicle mounted
concrete boom pumping systems, including a minimum of two boom stages, and the use and
monitoring of the boom distribution system.

16 Reach stacker (RS) - covers the operation of a reach stacker of greater than 3 tonnes capacity that
incorporates an attachment for lifting, moving and travelling with a shipping container, but does not
include a portainer crane
