Permitted duties:
• Loading and unloading cargo from/to a vehicle
• Lifting of loads from the ground/vehicle to a higher place
• Installation work (beams, concrete plates, windows...) in building constructions
• Lifting construction material (wall boards, bricks, blocks…) on a pallet fork to a building, taking
the material from the vehicle on which the crane is mounted, from another vehicle or from the
ground
• Hoisting, e.g. beams, concrete plates and any other material and equipment used in building
construction
• With a bucket, moving filling material at a construction site
• Handling large loads (containers, boats, machinery, vehicles…)
• Collection of waste and recycling material (glass, paper, cardboard, plastic…)
• Installation of informative posts, road signs, notice boards, traffic lights, street lights…
• Handling submerged pumps in wells, using a hoist
• If the crane is a MEWP type, workers in a personnel basket can work at heights, for the
reparation/maintenance of buildings, street lights, traffic lights…
Forbidden duties:
• Crane mounted onboard ships or floating structures, only permitted in cases authorized by Hiab
• Continuous use as a production crane in assembly lines, foundries…, except for cranes prepared
for that purpose
• Handle loads, work with submerge boom system or accessories, in strong currents such as
rivers
• Loading cargo that is partially loaded or fastened by other means, without making sure the
capacity of the crane is enough for the entire load
• Any duty which implies:
◦ Pressure against the ground, unless the crane is specifically prepared for this
◦ Push/pull with the boom system against any type of obstacle (wall, ground…)
◦ Using the JIB upside down (e.g. work under bridges with a personnel basket), except JIBs
prepared for that. (See Operator’s Manual for your JIB).
DANGER
Lifting people with a crane is never allowed unless it is a MEWP crane. When
working in a personnel basket, both feet must have contact with the floor of the
basket. Standing on boxes or ladders in the basket can lead to injury or death.
3.3.1. Noise declaration
The following values for emitted noise may be taken as general and conservative values for
ordinary installations of loader cranes on normal diesel engine powered trucks. Declared dual-
number noise emission values in accordance with ISO 4871:
• Emitted A-weighted sound power level for basic loader cranes in accordance with ISO 3744:
LwA = 103 dB (Uncertainty: KwA = 2 dB).
• Emitted A-weighted sound power level for loader cranes with hoist in accordance with ISO 3744:
LwA = 107 dB (Uncertainty: KwA = 2 dB).
• A-weighted sound pressure level at loader crane control stations in accordance with ISO 11201:
LpA = 95 dB (Uncertainty: KpA = 4 dB).
