6141 Appendix T6:

Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices

 

1.0           Purpose

At Jefferson Lab below-the-hook lifting devices (BTHLD) are designed, built, and purchased to perform specific functions. This appendix outlines the requirements for the design, production, use, and modification of said devices.

2.0           Scope

Devices that have not met the requirements of this procedure must be presented to the Material Handling Manager (MHM) for inspection, testing, and/or appropriate use determination. 

 

A BTHLD is not to be used without an appropriate name plate or other permanent marking; nor for anything other than its intended purpose.

 

The procedures below are to be performed in conjunction with Chapters 6140, Material Handling Equipment Program and 6141, Rigging, Cranes, and Hoists Material Handling Equipment.

3.0           Responsibilities

Note:   Management authority may be delegated to a task-qualified TJNAF employee at the discretion of the responsible manager.

3.1            Material Handling Manager (MHM)

·       maintain records for all approved BTHLD at Jefferson Lab

·       ensure a load test is performed on all BTHLDs in accordance with DOE Standard 1090-Hoisting and Rigging Standard; Section 12- Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices

3.2            Qualified Engineer:  designs and produces BTHLDs in accordance with the provisions of ASME B30.20, ASME BTH-1 and TJNAF requirements

3.3            BTHLD Custodian: ensure BTHLD under your authority are maintained, inspected, and used in accordance with this procedure

4.0           Procedures

Specific responsibilities are highlighted within the procedures below.

 

4.1            Design

It is recommended that the MHM be contacted prior to commencement of this procedure. Several BTHLD are available in storage which may be adequate for your operation.

4.1.1       Submit BTHLD Design to Appropriate Engineering Department

·       Submit a draft BTHLD design concept, or description of requirements, to the engineering department.

·       An engineering drawing is developed by a qualified engineer to comply with ASME B30.20, ASME BTH-1, and per department procedures. Refer to Welding and Brazing Program Supplement.

·       The drawing is reviewed and signed by a second qualified engineer.

 

4.1.2       Submit Drawing to MHM for Approval

 

·       The Engineer-of-Record starts a Material Handling Device Engineering Note, and submits the note and reviewed drawing to the MHM for approval.

·       The MHM reviews, and if found to be appropriate, approves the drawing for production.

o   they retain the note and a copy of the approved drawing on file; and,

o   returns the approved drawing to the Engineer-of-Record.

 

4.2            Production

Unless otherwise stated the Engineer-of-Record is responsible for this portion of the procedure.

4.2.1       Fabrication

·       Assign production of the BTHLD to an in-house fabricator, or a qualified vendor in accordance with 6140, Appendix T2: Procurement of Material Handling Equipment. 

·       Ensure it is produced in accordance with drawing specifications.

 

4.2.2       Approve for Use

If Produced In-House

·       Schedule a Load Test with the MHM or designee. The load test is to be performed in accordance with ASME B30.20-Below-the-Hook-Lifting Devices.

·       Upon completion of satisfactory test, MHM will provide a label (see Section 4.5 Labeling below) designating approval for use.

 

If Produced by Outside Vendor

(In accordance with 6140, Appendix T2: Procurement of Material Handling Equipment.)

·       Prior to acceptance of the item, schedule a review with the MHM. Acceptance criteria includes:

o   a qualifying Load Test has been performed, and

o   item has been properly labeled

 

Upon successful completion, or confirmation, of a qualifying load test and acceptable labeling, the BTHLD custodian may take ownership of the device. 

 

4.3            Maintenance, Inspection, and Use

The BTHLD Custodian is responsible for the following:

·       Ensure BTHLD is maintained in usable condition per department procedures.

·       Perform appropriate inspections prior to each use. Refer to 6141, Appendix T3: Overhead & Mobile Cranes, Hoists, and Rigging Inspections.

·       Ensure the BTHLD is used only for its intended purpose.

·       Ensure the BTHLD has a current annual inspection/periodic inspection tag on the device before use in accordance with 6141, Appendix T3, Section 4.0.

 

4.4            Alterations to BTHLD

TJNAF recognizes that from time to time a BTHLD may require repair, modification, or be assigned a task other than for its intended purpose. When this happens it must be designed, reviewed, approved, and produced as if it were new.

 

4.5            Labeling

If produced in-house the following label (example) is attached to, or otherwise denoted on, the device.

 

Example of Approved BTHLD Label

 

If Produced by Outside Vendor at a minimum, the following information is required to be attached to, or otherwise denoted on, the device:

·       Manufacturer’s Name

·       Manufacturer’s Address

·       Serial Number

·       Lifter Weight, if over 100 lbs (45 kg)

·       Rated Load
