Prior to critical lift and pre-engineered lift, all
cranes shall be load tested by a KJP
inspector.
A functional test of the crane under a normal
operating load should be made prior to
service.

the rated capacity.
A written report shall be furnished by the
inspector showing test procedure.
 SITE PREPARATION
SOIL BEARING CAPACITY
- Determine the allowable soil bearing pressure and
underground conditions at the lift location,
including the location of underground utilities.

- Check to see if the lift requires special mat

arrangements to satisfy soil bearing capacity
requirements, and show the number and size of
mats in a detailed layout sketch on procedure.

SIGNAL
The operator of a crane or hoist must act only on
directions from a designated and competent signaler
whenever the operator does not have a clear and
unobstructed view of the load hook and load throughout
the whole range of the hoisting operation.

Standard hand signals are shown in Attachment.

Hand Signal Posting is required to conspicuously post at

the job site figures demonstrating standard hand signals
for controlling mobile cranes.
 SITE PREPARATION
SIGNAL
In situations where hand signals are not effective, use
other communication equipment as under;
Alternative to hand signals
Two-way radio or other audio or video systems
acceptable to KJP must be used if distance,
atmospheric conditions or other circumstances make
the use of hand signals hazardous or impracticable.
Multi-channel radios are not permitted for use to direct
crane operator.

WEATHER
Ensure that wind speed and other weather conditions
are considered.

Do not attempt shifts and lifts of load if weather

conditions are adverse to safe load-handling
operations.

Consider weather factors that might reduce crane lift

capacity and adjust the load weight to suit.
 SITE PREPARATION
Others, such as Barricades, Ladder or Stair,
Fire extinguisher, Lightings, etc.

Barricades forming a perimeter at least 3

meter away from the working area to prevent
unauthorized personnel from entering the
working radius of crane and working area
shall be utilized.
 SITE PREPARATION
Ladder, stairway, scaffolds or other safe means of
access should be prepared for use in reaching the
work place where located in higher place such as
operators cabin, hooking position on the load etc.

An accessible fire extinguisher shall be provided at

work site and cabin of crane.

Lighting systems are to be provided on site.

Stand-by labor as required for removal of temporary

shipping skids prior to lifting is to be provided.

Ensure access out of the lift area

considering
equipment that may require disassembly
for

 TYPE OF CRANE
Wheel mounted crane (Single-control Station)

Self-propelled, wheel-type cranes are equipped power

and control units for travel and liftcrane operations.
 TYPE OF CRANE
Truck mounted crane (Multi-control Station)

Truck mounted cranes may be provided with lattice

booms or self-contained hydraulic telescopic
cantilevered booms.
 TYPE OF CRANE
Conventional crawler crane

The crawler mounting does not allow for the cranes

self-transit between job sites.
As such, crawler mounted cranes are moved between
sites in a knocked down condition via truck, rail,
or barge, and are assembled on site.

 OTHER LIFTING
FACILITIES
DERRICK
- The basic derrick mechanism provides the ability
to hoist a load up or down, and luff up or down over
a range of operating radii.
- With the exception of the shear leg configuration,
most derrick configurations also provide the ability
to slew, or to swing a load over a specific arc of
operation.
- Derricks are typically attached to some existing
infrastructure.
 OTHER LIFTING
FACILITIES
DERRICK
 OTHER LIFTING
FACILITIES
HOIST WITH BLOCK
- The simple hoist and load block
system consists of a pair of
construction blocks strategically
positioned beyond the final desired
position of the handled component.
- Depending on the rigging weight of
the heaviest handled component,
the construction blocks may consist
of single or multiple sheaves.
 OTHER LIFTING
FACILITIES
MONORAIL SYSTEM
Monorail systems consist of a load
block and hoisting system
suspended from a trolley or series
of
trolleys that travel on a beam
suspended from some existing
