11.9.1 Marking
The following information should be permanently and legibly marked on the runway to give maximum visibility to the operative. In certain instances, it is recommended that the SWL should be marked in more than one place.
Identification mark(s). (If the manufacturer has not provided a unique serial number then it is the responsibility of the user to add the identification mark to identify the equipment with the inspection and examination reports).
SWL. This should be marked on both sides of the runway in such a way that it is readily legible from the operating position.
Any limiting conditions marked on the runway must be clearly visible. (i.e. reduced capacity towards the end of a cantilever).
Maximum hoisting speed for powered hoists or else the words ‘Manual Hoist’.
Year of manufacture and installation.
Name of manufacturer or supplier.
Special care must be taken with regard to the SWL of the runway and lifting appliance(s). The maximum load to be lifted, including the weight of the equipment, should not exceed the marked SWL of the runway. This is particularly important in cases where the lifting appliance is regularly removed and replaced, as may be the case in maintenance applications, or where more than one lifting appliance is being used, i.e. multi-point lifting.
