GOST 33170-2014 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 33170-2014 — "Cranes. Tower cranes. Devices for installation. General requirements". The standard establishes general requirements for devices used to install and fix tower cranes to building and civil-engineering structures (supporting/anchorage devices and related installation arrangements).

Abstract

GOST 33170-2014 sets out mandatory technical and safety requirements for design, manufacturing, corrosion protection, testing, documentation and operation of devices and fittings used to install and fasten tower cranes to construction structures. It is intended to ensure reliable load transfer between crane and building, safe installation and subsequent operation, and proper marking and records for inspection and maintenance.

• Publisher: National standards authority of the Russian Federation (developed under the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology — Rosstandart; adopted via the interstate standards process).
• ICS / categories: Lifting equipment — Cranes (ICS 53.020 / 53.020.20).
• Edition / version: GOST 33170-2014 (edition published 2015, effective 2016).
• Number of pages: Approximately 24–25 pages (published editions and catalogs list 24–25 pages).

Scope

The standard applies to design, manufacture, installation and operational aspects of devices that attach or support tower cranes to/from building and other permanent structures — including anchorage units, support brackets, tie devices and associated fastenings. It covers technical requirements, corrosion protection measures, testing, marking, documentation and conditions for safe assembly and disassembly of such installation devices. The standard is intended for use where tower cranes are fixed to or supported by construction structures and establishes common safety and reliability criteria.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of installation devices and anchorage types for tower cranes.
• Design requirements for load transfer, structural strength and stability of installation devices under operational and exceptional loads.
• Material selection, corrosion protection and surface treatment requirements for fastenings and structural elements.
• Manufacturing and dimensional tolerances for attachment components.
• Requirements for site installation procedures, assembly sequencing, and safe connection to building structures.
• Testing, inspection and acceptance criteria (factory and on-site checks), including marking and documentation to accompany installation devices.
• Operational guidance for maintenance, periodic inspection and removal/alteration of anchorage devices.
• References to related normative documents and standards used for specific tests, corrosion categories and climatic considerations.

Typical use and users

Primary users are designers and engineers of tower-crane installations, crane manufacturers, construction contractors, installation crews, building structural engineers, inspection authorities and safety managers responsible for crane assembly and anchorage. The standard is used when specifying anchorage devices in project documentation, during factory production of mounting elements, and for on-site acceptance and inspection.
