ASME B30.5 is the standard that applies to which type of cranes?

ASME B30.5 specifically governs the safety and operational guidelines for mobile and locomotive cranes. This standard addresses the design, maintenance, inspection, and operation of these types of cranes to ensure the safety of workers and the public in the different environments where these cranes are used.

Mobile cranes include various types of cranes that are mounted on wheels or tracks, allowing them to move from one location to another while performing lifting operations. Locomotive cranes, a type of mobile crane, are specifically designed for railway applications and can be moved along tracks.

Other options described do not fall under the ASME B30.5 standard. Static cranes, like tower cranes or fixed cranes, are covered under different ASME standards. Pallet jacks are not cranes and would not be included in any crane standard. Construction hoists, which are primarily used for lifting personnel and materials vertically, are governed by different standards specific to their operation. This delineation of standards ensures that specific safety requirements are addressed according to the type of equipment being used, making compliance easier and enforcement more effective.
