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 Opera-
tor’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 con-
tact with the floor of the basket. Standing on
boxes or ladders in the basket can lead to
injury or death.
