BS 7121-2 CoP for SUoC 14. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OVERHEAD TRAVEL) CRANES 14.2 OVERLOAD TESTING OF OVERHEAD TRAVELLING CRANES OVERLOAD TEST ] For overhead traveling cranes- gantry and supporting structure- examined. tested and ceriticated | Visual examination of gantry and track prior test | Before any load- functional test with no load applied | Crane be positioned — measure deflection—load raised, then lowered to 100-200 mm above the ground, 10 min, to check the brake. Raised again and lowered (crab be traversed to mid span and deflection), load lowered and raised, determinate the deflection remains constant. Load should be traversed to the opposite gantry- along the track, and returned to its original lit position. Maximum deflection- not exceed 1/750 of the span Overload test- load increased by 25 % and repeated the test- the lowest speed possible for the crane, 2 or more hoists, separete test iB POST TEST EXAMINATION AND CERTIFICATION-report like Annex. 2 {see point 9) OVERLOAD TESTING OF CRANE GANTRIES OVERLOAD TESTS - 1? test unloaded crane- be travelled the full length of the gantry Load be lifted 100 to 200 mm above the ground-traveling the complete length {An overtoad of 25% in excess of the rated load full length Gantries builtin accordance with BS 449-2 the maximum deflection not exceed 1/960 of the span. Gantries builtin accordance with BS5950-1 the maximum deflection not exceed 1/600 of the span. <> LIFTING POST TEST EXAMINATION AND CERTIFICATION-report like Annex D Operation & Equipment REGULATIONS;
