This SAE Recommended Practice applies to cranes in lifting crane service which are equipped with two-block warning and/or limit systems.
Rationale
The attached proposed Recommended Practice represents the accumulative effort of Working Group E, SAE ORMTC Sub-Committee 17.
The proposed Recommended Practice establishes minimum performance criteria for devices which signal or prevent two-blocking of hoist mechanisms on cranes being used in lifting service.
Damage to the crane boom or wire rope or wire rope failure due to the raising of the load block into the boom point or upper load block has resulted in the need for defining and establishing performance requirements of two-block systems.
This document was balloted by ORMTC in March, 1980 under the title "Two-Block Prevention Systems in Lifting Crane Service" with 3 disapproval votes among the ballot results. Subsequent revision to accommodate these disapprovals become significant enough in both editorial and technical areas that it was deemed appropriate to recirculate the revised document through SC 17 members.
The next balloting among SC17 members resulted in three disapprovals, all of which questioned certain technical descriptions of the system's occurring functions. These three disapprovals were subsequently fully satisfied and the document sent on for ORMTC approval.
Resulting ORMTC ballotting resulted in no disapprovals, however, several suggestions and comments accompanying the ballot approvals were considered and implemented, if possible, by the Working Group evolving the document into the form as represented here.
THE CLDC addresses standards related to Cranes and Lifting Devices. This committee reports to ConAg Council directly. ConAg Council covers off-road work machines described in SAE J1116, which includes machines defined in ISO 6165, ISO 6184, and ISO 22242, and cranes defined in ISO 4301 with regards to activities supporting; Creating consensus SAE standards, recommended practices, and information reports Harmonizing relevant SAE documents with ISO documents Participants in this committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government, and others across the construction
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
