Generally taken as the maximum load that an item of equipment (e.g., crane) may raise, lower, or suspend under particular service conditions and arrangements. Each individual type of equipment has its own specific safe working load limits. [Pg.255]

Whatever type of truck is used it is important to remember that it is dangerous to exceed the safe working load specified by the manufacturer. [Pg.23]

Construction should not enable anyone to become trapped between lift and fixed structure or counterweight. The maximum safe working load must be conspicuously marked and not exceeded. [Pg.42]

The safe working load shall be plainly marked on every crane and winch and it must not be exceeded. [Pg.50]

The manufacturer must issue a test certificate for every crane he produces, identifying it and specifying the safe working load (SWL) which must be clearly marked on the crane structure. In large organisations which have their own system of plant identification it should relate to the manufacturer s... [Pg.586]

All cranes should be marked with their safe working load which must never be exceeded except for test purposes. If there is any doubt of the weight to be lifted, advice should be sought. [Pg.588]

The Report of thorough examination must be on a prescribed form. Where the machine has a defect and cannot continue to be used with safety, then a copy of the report must be sent to the Health and Safety Executive within 28 days. Under the Lifting Machines (Particulars of Examinations) Order 1963, reports must contain information such as the identification mark, safe working load, particulars of defects, observations, name of the competent person and the date of examination. The Docks Regulations also stipulate... [Pg.634]

Safe working load indicators. This can vary from a simple notice of SWL s and pendulum type load/radius indicators on the jib, through to a dynamometer incorporating a load cell on the jib with a display readout in the operator s cab, to sophisticated microprocessors incorporating automatic safe load indication and overload alarms. The competent person must satisfy himself that the type of safe load indicator fitted conforms to the relevant statutory requirements, and that the indicator is accurate for the configuration of the crane rigging. [Pg.636]

Generally, the testing procedure would comprise an initial inspection of the lifting machine, a functional test during full operation of the crane, application of the safe working load and the proof load, a measurement of deflections of the structure (where appropriate), and a re-inspection to ensure permanent deformation has not taken place. [Pg.636]

The safe working load means that specified on the last test certificate, or report of examination, or as specified by the manufacturer/supplier. The equipment must be supplied with a test certificate before being used under any of the relevant Statutory Instruments, and re-tested after any substantial repair or modification. [Pg.637]
