Full title and description

ISO 10245-2:2014 — Cranes — Limiting and indicating devices — Part 2: Mobile cranes. This International Standard specifies requirements for devices that limit and/or indicate loads, motions, performance and environmental parameters for mobile cranes, providing performance, safety and interface criteria for rated capacity limiting/indicating systems and related devices.

Abstract

ISO 10245-2:2014 sets out functional and performance requirements for limiting and indicating devices used on mobile cranes. It complements the general requirements in ISO 10245-1 and applies to mobile cranes as defined in ISO 4306‑2, addressing load/ motion limiting, indicators, event recording and related verification and maintenance considerations.

General information

• Status: Published / Valid (with published amendment).
• Publication date: 2014-02 (main edition). Amendment 1 published 2015-07.
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 53.020.20 (Cranes).
• Edition / version: Edition 2 (2014); amended by ISO 10245-2:2014/Amd 1:2015.
• Number of pages: Main document: 10 pages (ISO record); Amendment: 1 page. Some national bodies list slightly different pagination in local publications.

Scope

Applies to limiting and indicating devices fitted to mobile cranes (as defined in ISO 4306‑2). The standard defines performance, accuracy and functional requirements for rated capacity limiters and indicators, load indicators, motion limiters/indicators, anti-two-block protection and related event recording, inspection and maintenance provisions. The 2015 amendment clarifies scope exclusions (for example, loader cranes are directed to ISO 15442) and refines some definitions.

Key topics and requirements

• Rated capacity limiter: automatic override behavior and setpoints to prevent overloads and unsafe operation.
• Rated capacity indicator and load indicator: accuracy and warning thresholds for operator information and alarms.
• Motion limiters and indicators: limits/indications for hoisting, lowering, derrick angles, radius, boom length, slew and crane level; coupling to controls to prevent further unsafe motion.
• Anti-two-block protection: defined behavior to prevent block contact and reduce rope pull to avoid damage.
• Event recorder / data logging: recording operational events for inspection, maintenance and incident investigation.
• Design, inspection and maintenance guidance: requirements for configuration, verification, inspection intervals and servicing (references to related ISO maintenance/inspection standards).

Typical use and users

Used by crane manufacturers (OEMs) and integrators when specifying, designing and testing limiting/indicating systems; by safety and compliance engineers, test laboratories and certification bodies for factory and field verification; by fleet managers and maintenance/inspection organizations for periodic checks and post‑incident analysis; and by trainers and operators for understanding system behavior and alarms.

Related standards

Closely related documents include ISO 10245-1 (general requirements for limiting/indicating devices), ISO 4306-2 (crane vocabulary — mobile cranes), and other crane standards such as ISO 2374, ISO 9926‑1 and ISO 9927‑1 (design, testing, operation and inspection of cranes). The 2015 amendment references ISO 15442 for loader cranes.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10245-2:2014 is an International Standard that specifies requirements for limiting and indicating devices for mobile cranes (part of the ISO 10245 series addressing crane limiting/indicating systems).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers performance and functional requirements for rated capacity limiters/indicators, load indicators, motion limiters/indicators, anti-two-block protection, event recording and related inspection/maintenance guidance for mobile cranes. The standard complements ISO 10245-1, which contains general requirements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Crane manufacturers, system integrators, test laboratories, safety and compliance engineers, inspection and maintenance organizations, fleet managers and crane operators. Regulators and certification bodies also reference it for conformity assessments.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2014 edition (Edition 2) is published and was amended by ISO 10245-2:2014/Amd 1:2015. ISO records list the 2014 edition as the current main edition with the 2015 amendment; the earlier 1994 edition was withdrawn when the 2014 edition was released. Always check with the official ISO catalogue or your national standards body for the latest status before using the text in regulatory or contractual contexts.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the ISO 10245 series (which covers limiting and indicating devices for different crane types); Part 1 contains general requirements and other parts address different crane categories (tower, jib, overhead, etc.).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Mobile crane, limiter, indicator, rated capacity, load indicator, motion limiter, anti-two-block, event recorder, crane safety, ISO 10245-2.
