Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 10245-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 96, Cranes, Subcommittee SC 8, Jib cranes.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10245-1:1994), which has been technically
revised.

ISO 10245 consists of the following parts, under the general title Cranes — Limiting and indicating devices:

⎯ Part 1: General

⎯ Part 2: Mobile cranes

⎯ Part 3: Tower cranes

⎯ Part 4: Jib cranes

⎯ Part 5: Overhead travelling and portal bridge cranes

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10245-1:2008(E)

Cranes — Limiting and indicating devices —

Part 1:
General

1 Scope
This part of ISO 10245 specifies general requirements for limiting and indicating devices for cranes that are
applicable to loads and motions, performance and environment. These devices restrict operation and/or
provide the operator or other persons with operational information.

The specific requirements for the various types of crane are given in the other parts of ISO 10245.

It is emphasized that the safe and reliable operation of limiters and indicators depends upon regular inspection
and maintenance.

2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies

ISO 4306-1, Cranes — Vocabulary — Part 1: General

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 4306-1 and the following apply.

3.1
anti-collision device
device used to prevent cranes or parts of cranes from colliding with a fixed load-lifting attachment when they
are manoeuvred simultaneously in the same space

NOTE A working space limiter may perform the function of an anti-collision device in certain applications.

3.2
configuration
combination and position of structural members, counterweights, support or outrigger position, hook block
reeving and similar items assembled, positioned and erected in accordance with manufacturers' instructions
and ready for operation

3.3
continuous warning
warning visually by means of either a flashing or uninterrupted light, or audibly by either a pulsing or
uninterrupted sound, that persists throughout the time during which the condition being indicated exists

ISO 10245-1:2008(E)

3.4
control station position limiter
device used on cranes having a control station that can be moved by powered movement to different positions,
to prevent movement of the control station beyond specified limits

3.5
derricking limiter
device used to prevent the raising or lowering of a jib, boom, fly jib, “A-frame” or mast beyond specified limits

3.6
hoisting limiter
device used to prevent either the fixed load-lifting attachment from being raised such that it inadvertently
strikes the crane structure or any other specified upper limitation of the load-lifting attachment from being
exceeded

3.7
indicator
device that provides warnings and/or data to facilitate the competent control of the crane within its design
parameters

3.8
lowering limiter
device used to ensure that the minimum engagement of the lifting medium, e.g. the minimum number of turns
of rope on the hoist drum, is maintained at all times during operation

3.9
lowering limiter
mechanical device designed to prevent the chain from running out of engagement with the driving mechanism

3.10
motion limiter
device which restricts a crane motion or initiates the stopping of the motion

NOTE See the examples given in 4.5.1.1.

3.11
performance limiter
device that automatically prevents a design performance characteristic from being exceeded

NOTE See the examples given in 4.5.2.1.

3.12
rated capacity
load that the crane is designed to lift for a given operating condition (e.g. the configuration or position of the
load)

3.13
rated capacity indicator
device which, within specified tolerance limits, gives a continuous indication that the rated capacity is
exceeded

NOTE 1 On certain crane types, the rated capacity indicator will give another continuous indication when the rated
capacity is approached.

NOTE 2 See 4.4.1.2 a).

3.14
rated capacity limiter
device that automatically prevents the crane from handling loads in excess of its rated capacity, taking into
account the dynamic effects during normal operational use
