SPECIAL NOTES
API publications necessarily address problems of a general nature. With respect to particular
circumstances, local, state, and federal laws and regulations should be reviewed.
API is not undertaking to meet the duties of employers, manufacturers, or suppliers to
warn and properly train and equip their employees, and others exposed, concerning health
and safety risks and precautions, nor undertaking their obligations under local, state, or federal
laws.
Information concerning safety and health risks and proper precautions with respect to particular
materials and conditions should be obtained from the employer, the manufacturer or
supplier of that material, or the material safety data sheet.
Nothing contained in any API publication is to be construed as granting any right, by
implication or otherwise, for the manufacture, sale, or use of any method, apparatus, or product
covered by letters patent. Neither should anything contained in the publication be construed
as insuring anyone against liability for infringement of letters patent.
Generally, API standards are reviewed and revised, reafÞrmed, or withdrawn at least every
Þve years. Sometimes a one-time extension of up to two years will be added to this review
cycle. This publication will no longer be in effect Þve years after its publication date as an
operative API standard or, where an extension has been granted, upon republication. Status
of the publication can be ascertained from the API Upstream Segment [telephone (202) 682-
8000]. A catalog of API publications and materials is published annually and updated quarterly
by API, 1220 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005.
This document was produced under API standardization procedures that ensure appropriate
notiÞcation and participation in the developmental process and is designated as an API
standard. Questions concerning the interpretation of the content of this standard or comments
and questions concerning the procedures under which this standard was developed
should be directed in writing to the Upstream General Manager, American Petroleum Institute,
1220 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005. Requests for permission to reproduce or
translate all or any part of the material published herein should also be addressed to the general
manager.
API standards are published to facilitate the broad availability of proven, sound engineering
and operating practices. These standards are not intended to obviate the need for applying
sound engineering judgment regarding when and where these standards should be
utilized. The formulation and publication of API standards is not intended in any way to
inhibit anyone from using any other practices.
Any manufacturer marking equipment or materials in conformance with the marking
requirements of an API standard is solely responsible for complying with all the applicable
requirements of that standard. API does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that such products
do in fact conform to the applicable API standard.

FOREWORD
This Recommended Practice is under the jurisdiction of the API Executive Committee on
Drilling and Production Operations and was developed in cooperation with the Offshore
Operators Committee. Detailed requirements for the design and construction of offshore
cranes are given in API SpeciÞcation 2C
SpeciÞcation for Offshore Cranes
(latest edition).
Guidelines provided herein on the operation, inspection and maintenance of offshore
cranes are based in part on an understanding of the cranesÕ design and construction. Therefore,
this document should be read in conjunction with API SpeciÞcation 2C.
The material in this publication represents the contribution of industry representatives of
crane users, crane manufacturers, wire rope manufacturers and ancillary crane device or
component manufacturers. It is based on industry experience and expertise involving worldwide
operations.
This publication is organized into Text Sections and associated supporting Commentary
Sections. In the Text Sections, recommended practices and procedures considered to be
mandatory; standards and qualiÞcations that are deemed necessary minimum; and the overall
intent, goals and objectives of crane operating, inspection and maintenance practices, programs
and procedures, are deÞned.
In the Commentary Sections, the basis for the recommended mandatory practices, minimum
standards and program goals, are substantiated; non-mandatory practices are discussed
and illustrated; and examples of programs, which meet the intent of the guidelines, are given.
Commentary Sections, numbered for example CX.X when referenced by Text Section
X.X can be found in Appendices A through G.
It should be understood that the crane operating and maintenance practices recommended
herein by necessity collectively cover a wide range of crane types and conÞgurations. Not all
practices are applicable to all cranes. When applying this Recommended Practice, care
should be taken to review each item as stated, and use those items speciÞcally applicable to
the craneÕs type, usage and duty-cycle. It may be necessary to modify a procedure due to a
particular crane requirement. This modiÞcation would be wholly acceptable as long as the
original intent of the practice or procedure is met.
This recommended practice shall become effective on the date printed on the cover but
may be used voluntarily from the date of distribution.
This publication includes use of the verbs shall and should, whichever is deemed the most
applicable for the speciÞc situation. For the purposes of this publication, the following deÞ-
nitions are applicable:
Shall
: Indicates that the recommended practice has universal applicability to that speciÞc
activity.
Should
: Denotes a recommended practice a) where a safe comparable alternative practice
is available; b) that may be impractical under certain circumstances; or c) that may be unnecessary
under certain circumstances or applications.
Changes in the uses of these verbs are not to be effected without risk of changing the
intent of recommendations set forth herein.
API publications may be used by anyone desiring to do so. Every effort has been made by
the Institute to assure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained in them; however, the
Institute makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee in connection with this publication
and hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage resulting
from its use or for the violation of any federal, state, or municipal regulation with which this
publication may conßict.
Suggested revisions are invited and should be submitted to the Upstream General Manager,
American Petroleum Institute, 1220 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005.
