ISO 9374-10:2000 Bridge Crane Information Requirements Explained
ISO 9374-10:2000, "Cranes — Information to be provided — Part 10: Bridge cranes," defines the scope of technical information that bridge crane manufacturers must supply to users. The standard specifies the format and content requirements for the stainless steel nameplate, technical data sheet (overall dimensions / trolley gauge / crane bridge wheel base / maximum wheel load / mechanism speeds), load-radius curve, installation drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, and spare parts list (≥10-year coverage), ensuring that users receive complete technical documentation for the equipment.
Nameplate and Technical Specifications
The nameplate must include the manufacturer, model, serial number, year of manufacture, lifting capacity, span, height, work duty/classification, and applicable standard designation. It is made of stainless steel and fixed to the main girder or end carriage. Key parameters cover overall dimensions, rail gauge, wheel base, wheel load, dead weight, speeds, and power. The operator cabin is equipped with a load capacity chart and load-radius curve. Kelude factory delivery includes a complete technical file package.
Operation Manual and Spare Parts
The operation manual is prepared in accordance with ISO 9928-2 and provided in both Chinese and English, covering safety instructions, technical specifications, operating procedures, inspection and maintenance, and fault elimination. Installation drawings include rail foundation and electrical wiring details. Spare parts are guaranteed for a minimum of 10 years, with critical parts maintaining at least 80% stock availability and 24-hour emergency dispatch. Kelude provides lifetime technical support.

Standardized technical documentation is essential for the safe and correct operation and maintenance of overhead cranes. The manufacturer must provide complete, accurate, and uniformly formatted technical files. This includes a stainless steel nameplate fixed in a prominent position on the end of the main girder, with a text height of at least 5 mm. The technical data sheet must list the overall crane dimensions, trolley gauge, crane bridge wheel base, maximum wheel load, and dead weight. Operating speeds for each mechanism must be specified for both heavy-load and no-load conditions. The operator cabin must be equipped with a load capacity chart and a lifting height curve diagram for quick reference by the operator. The Operation Manual, prepared in accordance with ISO 9928-2, must be bilingual (English/Chinese), bound, and include five main sections: safety instructions, technical specifications, operating instructions, inspection and maintenance, and fault elimination. A quick reference table for emergency operations should be placed on the inside of the front cover. Kelude Heavy Industry delivers a complete technical documentation package with every crane, ensuring users receive comprehensive and systematic equipment information.
Overhead Crane Documentation: Key FAQs
Q: What information is required on the nameplate per ISO 9374-10:2000?
A: The nameplate must include the manufacturer's name and address, equipment model and serial number, year of manufacture, rated lifting capacity, span, lifting height, work duty classification, and the design standard reference. The nameplate is made of stainless steel and fixed in a prominent position on the main girder or end carriage, with a text height of at least 5 mm. The operator cabin must also display a load capacity chart and a lifting height curve for easy reference.
Q: Which parameters must be included in the technical specifications?
A: The technical data sheet must list the overall crane dimensions, trolley gauge, crane bridge wheel base, maximum wheel load, dead weight, mechanism operating speeds (for both heavy-load and no-load conditions), and motor power. Parameters are presented in a table format with values accurate to three significant figures using SI units. Kelude Heavy Industry's technical specification covers all these parameters.
Q: What are the requirements for the Operation Manual?
A: The Operation Manual is prepared in accordance with ISO 9928-2, is bilingual (English/Chinese), and includes five main sections: safety instructions, technical specifications, operating instructions, inspection and maintenance, and fault elimination. A quick reference table for emergency operations is placed on the inside of the front cover. Terminology aligns with the ISO 4306 series of standards. A PDF version is available for download from the official website.
Q: What is the manufacturer's commitment to spare parts supply?
A: The manufacturer must provide a spare parts list covering at least 10 years of equipment operation. The inventory rate for critical spare parts (wire rope, filters, friction linings, seals, sensors) must be ≥80%, with emergency orders shipped within 24 hours. Kelude Heavy Industry offers lifelong technical support and a nationwide service network for all overhead crane users.
