2.8.1 Crane supporting structures and Tracks

New supporting structures and or tracks need to be aligned within the required tolerances. Existing supporting structures and tracks need to be surveyed for accuracy of alignment and if necessary adjusted.

Unless otherwise specified by the crane manufacturer, the supporting structure or tracks should meet the criteria specified in the standard to which the crane was made.

Except for existing supporting structures or tracks where appropriate records are available, following the installation of a new crane or significant modification or repair, the supporting structure or tracks should be load tested and a record made and retained.
