Full title and description

ISO 10245-4:2004 — Cranes — Limiting and indicating devices — Part 4: Jib cranes. This part of ISO 10245 specifies requirements for devices that limit and/or indicate loads, motions, performance and environment for jib-type cranes (as defined in ISO 4306-1), excluding offshore, tower, mobile and railway cranes covered by other parts of the series.

Abstract

Specifies the functional and performance requirements for limiting and indicating devices applied to jib cranes — devices that restrict crane operation and/or provide the operator (or other persons) with operational information about loads, motions and environmental conditions. Includes provisions that support safe operation, testing and verification of such devices.

Note: a technical corrigendum (ISO 10245-4:2004/Cor 1:2006) exists and the document has been subject to ISO periodic review; its ISO record shows confirmation and review activity up to 2024.

Scope

Applies to limiting and indicating devices used on jib-type cranes to control or indicate loads, motions, performance and environmental effects. Excludes offshore, tower, mobile and railway crane types (which are addressed in other parts of ISO 10245). The standard gives device-level requirements that support safe operation, operator information and compatibility with crane definitions in ISO 4306-1.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terminology for limiting and indicating devices for jib cranes (aligned with crane vocabulary standards).
• Functional requirements for load-limiting and load-indicating devices (readability, accuracy and operator information).
• Motion-limiting features (e.g., travel/workspace limits, anti-collision and end‑stop protections where applicable).
• Performance, calibration and accuracy tolerances for sensors, transducers and readouts.
• Environmental and electrical considerations (installation, protection, and performance under expected conditions).
• Marking, documentation and instructions to support safe installation, operation and maintenance.
• Testing, verification and conformity checks needed for acceptance and periodic inspection.

Typical use and users

Used by crane manufacturers, design engineers, safety and compliance personnel, testing and inspection laboratories, third‑party certifiers and maintenance teams. It is referenced during product design, factory acceptance testing, site installation and periodic safety inspections for jib cranes.

Related standards

ISO 10245 is a multi‑part series; related parts include ISO 10245-1 (General), ISO 10245-2 (Mobile cranes), ISO 10245-3 (Tower cranes) and parts addressing bridge/gantry and overhead cranes. The standard references ISO 4306‑1 (Crane vocabulary — general) for key terms and classifications. Users commonly consult ISO 10245-1 for general requirements that apply across crane types.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10245-4:2004 is the International Standard that specifies requirements for limiting and indicating devices used on jib-type cranes (Edition 1, published November 2004).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers functional and performance requirements for devices that limit or indicate loads, motions, operating performance and environmental effects on jib cranes — including requirements for accuracy, readouts, documentation and testing. It excludes offshore, tower, mobile and railway cranes (covered in other parts of ISO 10245).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Crane designers and manufacturers, safety and compliance engineers, inspection/testing bodies, certifiers and maintenance personnel who need to design, verify or maintain limiting and indicating devices on jib cranes.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2004 edition (ISO 10245-4:2004) remains the published edition; ISO records show a corrigendum in 2006 and review activity up to 2024 with the standard listed as “to be revised” in the ISO lifecycle. Users should check national mirror bodies or ISO announcements for any replacement or new edition that may be published after 2024.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10245 is a multipart series addressing limiting and indicating devices for different crane types (Part 1: General; Part 2: Mobile cranes; Part 3: Tower cranes; Part 4: Jib cranes; Part 5: bridge/gantry/overhead types). See ISO 10245-1 for general requirements that apply across parts.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Jib crane, limiting device, indicating device, load indicator, motion limiter, calibration, testing, crane safety, ISO 10245, crane vocabulary.
