23、aximum authorized load that the mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) is designed to carry in a given configuration 4 Mechanical requirements NOTE See also the safety requirements detailed in clauses 8 to 11 (inclusive). 4.1 Mechanical design 4.1.1 Safety factors Unless stated otherwise, the safety
24、factor applied to the yield stress for any part of the tail lift based on its work load limit (WLL) shall be at least 2. (See also 4.1.3.1.2, 4.2.1 and 4.3.1.) 4.1.2 Operating speed The unloaded lifting speed and the fully loaded lowering speed shall not exceed 0,15 m/s. 4.1.3 Wire rope suspensions
25、4.1.3.1 Wire ropes 4.1.3.1.1 Selection Wire ropes shall be selected from those specified in EN 12385-1, EN 12385-4 (technically equivalent to SANS 2408 and ISO 3108 and ISO 3178), and in SANS 4309, though it is permissible to use a diameter and a tensile grade that fall outside the range covered by
26、these standards. Wire rope constructions other than those specified above may be used, provided that their strength complies with 4.1.3.1.2. Amdt 1 4.1.3.1.2 Strength In any single part of a rope, the ratio between the minimum breaking load and the maximum induced tensile force shall be at least 5.
27、4.1.3.1.3 Termination The strength of the rope termination (i.e. the terminal fitting together with the means of its attachment to the rope) shall be at least 80 % of the minimum breaking load of the rope. 4.1.3.2 Wire rope pulleys 4.1.3.2.1 Minimum diameter The diameter of a pulley, measured at the
28、 bottom of the groove, shall be at least 12 times the diameter of the associated wire rope. NOTE Pulley diameter may also be expressed as a function of the pitch circle diameter of the rope in the groove. SANS 10302:2008 Edition 1.1 6 4.1.3.2.2 Pulley grooves Wire rope pulleys shall be grooved to a
29、depth of at least 1,25 times the nominal diameter of the associated wire rope. The grooves shall have a smooth finish and shall be free from surface defects liable to damage the rope. The edges of the groove shall be rounded off. The contour at the bottom of the groove shall be circular over an angl
30、e of at least 120. The bottom radius of the groove shall exceed the nominal radius of the associated wire rope by not less than 7,5 % and not more than 10 %. The included angle of flare of the sides of the pulley groove shall be 52 2 for an angle of lead of 1 in 12 (see 4.1.5), but may be reduced fo
31、r smaller angles of lead, provided that the flange does not interfere with the path of the rope. 4.1.4 Chains Chains shall be selected on the basis of either past experience or original design. When selection is made on the basis of past experience supported by satisfactory results of approval tests
32、, the complete chain system, including pulleys or sprockets, shall be assessed and embodied in the design. Pulleys or sprockets for chains shall be to the chain manufacturers approval. 4.1.5 Angle of lead (or fleet angle) The angle between a wire rope and a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pul
33、ley shall not exceed 1 in 12. The angle between a chain and a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pulley shall not exceed 1 in 40. 4.1.6 Installation and removal 4.1.6.1 Rope or chain retention The installation of all wire rope pulleys or chain pulleys and sprockets shall be so designed as to ret
34、ain the wire rope or chain in position. 4.1.6.2 Ease of removal The installation of all wire ropes or chains shall be designed to facilitate their periodic examination and removal. 4.1.6.3 Prevention of chafing The installation of a non-metallic suspension shall be such that minimum chafing occurs.
35、4.1.7 Suspension failure safeguards Every lift from which a platform is suspended shall be equipped with a device such that, in the event of failure of the rope or the chain or any of their attachments, any uncontrolled descent of the platform (on the side where the failure has occurred) is arrested
36、 within 50 mm of the platform position at the time of failure. SANS 10302:2008 Edition 1.1 7 4.2 Hydraulic system 4.2.1 Cylinders and pistons Piston rods or rams shall have smooth cylindrical external surfaces and, if hollow, shall be of approximately uniform wall thickness. Grey cast iron or other
37、brittle material shall not be used for cylinders or for connecting links. Grey cast iron, where used in other parts of the cylinder assembly, shall have a safety factor of at least 10. Cylinders shall be provided with solid metal stops at the limit of stroke, or with other equally effective means of
38、 preventing the rod from travelling beyond the limits of the cylinder. Where bolts or screws are used to secure limit stops, they shall be effectively locked or wired or otherwise secured to prevent slackening in service. 4.2.2 Hydraulic or electrohydraulic power pack 4.2.2.1 Location The power pack
39、 shall be so positioned that it is easily accessible for servicing and maintenance. 4.2.2.2 Reservoir The hydraulic fluid reservoir shall be of rigid construction, have adequate capacity and be effectively vented to the atmosphere. An air filter and an oil strainer shall be provided. The reservoir f
40、or normal tail lift operation shall be of capacity at least 10 % more than is necessary to ensure an uninterrupted flow of fluid to the pump. A label showing the correct type of hydraulic fluid to be used shall be clearly displayed. 4.2.3 Pipes and pipe supports Piping shall be so supported that und
41、ue stresses are eliminated at joints, bends and fittings, particularly in any section of the system where vibration occurs. Cross-sectional areas of pipes shall be sufficient to prevent cavitation and starvation. 4.2.4 Hoses Hydraulic pipes and hoses shall be compatible with their environment and wi
42、th the type of hydraulic fluid in the system. The installation of hoses shall be such as to avoid sharp bends and chafing or trapping by moving parts of the machine. 4.2.5 Venting The hydraulic system shall be designed to be self-venting to evacuate entrapped air. 4.2.6 Pressure relief valve The hyd
43、raulic system shall incorporate a pressure relief valve that is set to a pressure not more than 10 % above that of the highest working pressure, but high enough to prevent relief valve blow-off during normal working conditions. If the design of the tail lift is such that the relief valve is used in
44、normal operation (for example, when the limit of the platform travel is reached), those parts of the system which are loaded by this relief valve pressure shall be designed (with the appropriate safety factors (see 4.1.1), using the loads or pressures imposed by the relief valve setting rather than
45、the loads or pressures imposed by the design load. SANS 10302:2008 Edition 1.1 8 4.2.7 Design pressure All cylinders, piston rods, pipes, hoses, valves and fittings shall be designed to withstand, without permanent deformation, a static pressure equal to the larger of three times the pressure relief
46、 valve setting and three times the maximum operating pressure. (See also 4.2.6.) 4.2.8 Hydraulic failure The lift shall be so designed that, in the event of failure of any part of the hydraulic system, either the descent of the lift platform will be promptly arrested (see 4.1.7) or its rate of desce
47、nt will be limited to a speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s (when fully loaded). 4.3 Mechanical transmissions 4.3.1 Strength The ratio between the minimum breaking load of the transmission and the maximum induced force shall be at least 5. 4.3.2 Accidental movement Driving mechanisms shall be such that any
48、 accidental movement is avoided (for example, by using automatic brakes or self-jamming gears). 4.3.3 Mechanical failure Driving mechanisms shall be so designed that, in the event of failure, any uncontrolled descent of the platform is arrested within 50 mm of the platform position at the time of fa
49、ilure. NOTES 1 The arresting device may be wholly or partially a safety device to cover for failure of the suspension or other parts. 2 Mechanical transmissions include components of the screw type, gearboxes, etc. 4.4 Quietness of operation and platform security A tail lift is unlikely to be completely silent during operation but every attempt shall be made to reduce the operating noise. The operating noise shall be less than 70 dB at 1 m from the surface of the noise source. Devices shall be fitted to prevent undue platform rattle when the vehicle is i
