AS 1418 — Cranes, Hoists & Winches (Design)

AS 1418 is a design-standard series for cranes, hoists, winches and elevated work platforms; the applicable part depends on the equipment.

Overview

AS 1418 addresses design and construction requirements for different types of cranes, hoists, winches and EWPs. A design review must identify the applicable part, edition, design basis and project requirements.

An engineer may reference AS 1418 when assessing fatigue, structural integrity or a proposed modification; an inspection alone is not a design approval.

What AS 1418 Covers

  • Structural design and load requirements
  • Fatigue and duty classification
  • EWP design (AS 1418.10)
  • Vehicle-loading cranes (AS 1418.11)
