Full title and description

ISO 10245-5:1995 — Cranes — Limiting and indicating devices — Part 5: Overhead travelling and portal bridge cranes. This part of ISO 10245 specifies specific requirements for limiting and indicating devices fitted to bridge and gantry (overhead travelling and portal) cranes, addressing functions related to load limiting, motion limiting and operator information for safe crane operation.

Abstract

Specifies the requirements for limiting and indicating devices of bridges and gantry cranes with respect to loads, motions, performance and environmental conditions. General requirements for limiting and indicating devices for cranes are given in ISO 10245-1; this Part 5 provides the application-specific requirements for overhead travelling and portal bridge cranes.

• Publication date: December 1995 (Edition 1; commonly cited publication date 14 December 1995).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 53.020.20 — Cranes.
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1995).
• Number of pages: 3 pages (official ISO record).

Scope

This standard applies to limiting and indicating devices for overhead travelling (bridge) and portal (gantry) cranes and specifies requirements for device performance, the nature of indications provided to operators, limitations of motion and load-limiting functions, and suitability for the expected environmental and operational conditions. It is intended to be used alongside ISO 10245-1 (general requirements) and other parts of the ISO 10245 series that address other crane types.

Key topics and requirements

• Performance requirements for limiters and indicators (reliability, functional checks, retention of settings after power interruption, resistance to shock and vibration).
• Load-related functions: rated-capacity indication, load-limiting functions and operator warnings/alarms.
• Motion-limiting features for travel and hoist functions (end/stopping limits and position indication where applicable).
• Environmental and installation considerations (temperature, humidity, EMC, mounting that does not reduce structural strength).
• Operator information and alarms (visual and/or audible indications; national implementations sometimes specify alarm thresholds—examples in national adoptions show warning signals around 90–95% of rated load).

Typical use and users

Used by crane manufacturers and OEMs when designing and specifying limiters and indicators for bridge and gantry cranes; by safety and design engineers, installation and maintenance teams, inspection bodies and certification authorities; and by standards and compliance professionals tasked with ensuring crane control and safety systems meet internationally recognized practices.

Related standards

ISO 10245-1 (general requirements for limiting and indicating devices) is the principal companion document; other parts of the ISO 10245 series address specific crane types (mobile cranes, tower cranes, jib cranes, etc.). Relevant crane and lifting standards from ISO/TC 96 (and national adoptions) are often referenced for complementary safety, testing and marking requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10245-5:1995 is Part 5 of the ISO 10245 series; it gives requirements for limiting and indicating devices specifically for overhead travelling (bridge) and portal (gantry) cranes.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers performance and functional requirements for devices that limit crane motion or load, and for indicators that provide operators with load and motion information; it also addresses environmental and installation considerations relevant to those devices. For broader/general requirements see ISO 10245-1.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Crane designers and manufacturers, safety engineers, test and inspection bodies, maintenance teams and certification agencies that assess crane control and safety systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO lists ISO 10245-5:1995 as a published International Standard with its lifecycle entry indicating it is to be revised; users should check the ISO catalogue or national standards bodies for any draft or updated parts in development.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 5 of the ISO 10245 series (other parts cover general requirements and other crane types). See ISO 10245-1 for the general requirements and the remainder of the series for related machine types.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Load limiter, load indicator, motion limiter, crane indicator, bridge crane, gantry crane, limiting and indicating devices, crane safety, ISO 10245.
