CMAA
CMAA Class A Description Standby or Infrequent service Details This class normally includes installation and maintenance cranes. This equipment usually operates at slow speeds for precise handling with long idle periods between lifts. Maximum capacity lifts are sometimes required. This class of crane is used in repair shops! light assembly operations! service buildings! light warehousing! etc. Service requirement is light and speeds are slow. oads vary from none to occasional full capacity. ifts per hour would range from " to #! and average $% feet per lift. In terms of numbers! most cranes are built to meet &lass & service requirements. This service covers cranes that may be used in machine shops or papermill machine rooms. In this type of service! the crane will handle loads that average #%' of the rated capacity with # to $% lifts per hour averaging $# feet. (ot over #%' of the loads at rated capacity. This service covers cranes which may be used in heavy machine shops! foundries! fabricating plants! steel warehouses! container yards! lumbermills! etc.! and standard duty buc+et and magnet operations where heavy duty production is required. In this type of service! loads approaching #% percent of the rated capacity will be handled constantly during the wor+ing period. *igh speeds are desirable for this type of service with $% to "% lifts per hour averaging $# feet! not over ,# percent of the lifts at rated capacity. This type of service is reserved for top riding bridge and gantry type multiple girder electric overhead travelling cranes and requires a crane capable of handling loads approaching rated capacity throughout its life. Applications may include magnet! buc+et! magnet.buc+et combination cranes for scrap yards! cement mills! lumber mills! fertili/er plants! container handling! etc.! with "% or more lifts per hour at or near the rated capacity. This type of service is reserved for top riding bridge and gantry type multiple girder electric overhead travelling cranes and requires a crane capable of handling loads approaching rated capacity throughout its life. Applications may include custom designed specialty cranes essential to performing the critical wor+ tas+s affecting the total production facility. These cranes must provide the highest reliability! with special attention to ease of maintenance features.
