(d) Anti-friction bearings shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer's instructions,

with a facility provided for greasing.

(e) Gear calculation shall comply with the appropriate BS or ASME code.

3.7.2 As a guideline for selecting either electric power hoist or manual operation of the crane, the
following shall be considered:

(a) Workshop cranes, due to the higher lift frequency and large floor coverage area, shall be
of the electric powered lift, and powered traverse on both the hoist unit, and the
travelling beam.

(b) Hoists for gantry cranes or other plant cranes may be powered or manually operated,
depending on the expected frequency of usage, the lift weight and the height of the lift.
Based on an expected usage of approximately 10 lifts per year, hand chain manual
operation shall be used where the required lift heights fall below the figures listed in the
Table 1, for any given maximum lift weight.
