Full title and description

ISO 11660-2:2015 — Cranes — Access, guards and restraints — Part 2: Mobile cranes. Establishes particular requirements for safe access, guarding and restraint systems on mobile cranes (as defined in ISO 4306‑1), addressing means of access, handrails, guardrails, platforms and protection against moving parts and falling objects during operation, maintenance, inspection, erection and dismantling.

Abstract

ISO 11660-2:2015 specifies the particular requirements for access, guards and restraints applicable to mobile cranes. It complements the general requirements given in ISO 11660-1 and focuses on items such as steps, ladders, walkways, platforms, handrails, handholds, guardrails and entrance openings, and on guards and restraints to protect persons from moving parts, falling objects or live parts associated with mobile cranes.

Scope

This part of ISO 11660 establishes particular requirements for means of access and for guards and restraints on mobile cranes as defined in ISO 4306‑1. It applies to the design and arrangement of steps, ladders, walkways, platforms, handrails, handholds, guardrails and entrances that permit safe access to operator, inspection and maintenance areas, and to protective measures for moving parts and to prevent or reduce hazards from falling objects or live parts during normal operation, maintenance, inspection, erection and dismantling.

Key topics and requirements

• Design criteria for steps, ladders and stairways to ensure safe ascent/descent and access to work platforms.
• Requirements for walkways, platforms and clearances to permit safe movement and work on mobile cranes.
• Specifications for handrails, handholds and guardrails to prevent falls and provide secure support.
• Guidance on entrance openings and means of access/egress for operator and maintenance areas.
• Requirements for guards and restraints to protect persons from moving parts, falling objects and live parts.
• Reference and coordination with ISO 11660-1 (general requirements) and related crane standards (for consistency across crane types).

Typical use and users

Used by crane manufacturers and designers to ensure compliant access and guarding on mobile cranes; by OEM safety and compliance teams, mechanical engineers, product certification bodies and test houses; by health & safety managers, inspection and maintenance personnel, regulatory authorities and procurement specialists specifying safe crane equipment for construction, lifting and industrial applications.
