NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2) which is identical with ISO 4306-2:1994 'CranesVocabularyPart 2: Mobile
cranes' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of
Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Cranes, Lifting Chains and Related Equipment Sectional
Committee and approval of the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.
This standard supersedes IS 13473 (Part 2): 1992 'Cranes Vocabulary: Part 2 Mobile cranes'.
The text of the ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is
particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as
'Indian Standard'.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker in the International Standard while in Indian Standards,
the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
Only the English language text has been retained while adopting it in this Indian Standard, and as such the
page numbers given here are not the same as in the ISO Standard.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 :1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values {revised)'.The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
