Monorail Crane/Hoist Beam Markings
Monorail Crane/Hoist Beam Markings
(OP)
I'm certifying some monorail crane beams for a customer. The customer wants the rails (All I-beams) marked with the load capacity. I've looked into the ASME B30.11 and B30.16 for the marking requirements but they only mention the actual lifting equipment (marking the hoists, lifting equipment etc.)
Anybody know where I can find the spec for marking the actual beams, or if there is such a specification?

c2alpha,
In British Columbia we have it referenced in the Heath, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia 2003 section 4.13.8 (2) "Permanent Signs: The safe working load shall be mardked on the load block and superstructure of hoisting equipment and shall be maintained in legible condition"
There is no mention of size of signs or any other detail other then "legible"
Don't think that my reference will help, but it may be a similar issue and you might need to check the local building codes or specifications.

ASME B30.2 might have some marking criteria as well but I don't have a copy.
