This Standard specifies the basic criteria and calculation methods that the design calculation for tower cranes should follow. All other calculation methods that are proved to be correct and reliable by theory and practice can also be used. This Standard is applicable to various types of power-driven tower cranes for various uses. This Standard is not applicable to the tower cranes converted by auto, tyre and crawler cranes.
This standard specifies the basic principles and methods of computation tower crane design calculations should be observed. Where it is proved that theory and practice are other calculation methods may also be accurate and reliable. This standard applies to various types for various uses electric drive tower cranes. This standard does not apply to car type, tire type and crawler cranes tower crane retrofit.
