ASME B30.20-2003 Below-the-hook Lifting Devices

An American National Standard. Approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) June 5, 2003. Revision of ASME B30.20-1999. 58p. This Standard is one of a series of safety standards on various subjects that have been formulated under the general auspices of the American National Standards Institute. One purpose of the Standard is to serve as a guide to governmental authorities having jurisdiction over subjects within the scope of the Standard. It is expected, however, that the Standard will find a major application in industry, serving as a guide to manufacturers, purchasers, and users of the equipment.
Volume B30.20 includes provisions that apply to the marking, construction, installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and operation of below-the-hook lifting devices, other than slings, used for attaching loads to hoist.
