Electrically powered equipment
3 Electrically powered equipment
For an electrically powered crane or winch used in loading or unloading:
the operating modes of the controls must be separated by a neutral, stop or off position; and
the braking system must come into operation automatically when there is a significant drop in the supply of electrical power; and
there must be an emergency or isolating switch that:
is conveniently close to the operator; and
shuts down the power supply to the winch, or to hoisting, luffing, slewing, travelling or traversing motors; and
does not affect lighting, indicators, electromagnetic lifting devices, cargo hook or twistlock controls, or other circuits not controlling the motion of the load or the crane.
