Is the cantilever crane a special equipment?

When discussing the question of "whether cantilever crane is a special equipment", we first need to clarify what special equipment is, as well as the basic characteristics and uses of the cantilever crane.Special equipment, as the name suggests, refers to equipment and facilities that involve life safety and are more dangerous.This type of equipment often plays an important role in production and life, and its safety performance is directly related to the safety of people's lives and property.

According to international definitions, special equipment is often referred to as "potentially hazardous equipment", "hazardous equipment" or "specific hazardous equipment".In my country, the scope of safety supervision of special equipment is mainly determined based on whether it may cause group harm, harm to others or have a greater social impact.Generally speaking, pressure-bearing equipment such as boilers, pressure vessels, pressure pipelines, etc. are clearly included in the category of special equipment because of their high risk of explosions.

So, what is a cantilever crane?Cantilever crane, as a light working strength crane, is mainly composed of upright columns, rotary arms and electric hoists.It has been widely used in industrial production due to its light weight, large span, large lifting weight and economical and durable characteristics.The original design of the cantilever crane is to meet the needs of modern production, especially in short-distance, frequent use and intensive crane operations, its energy-saving, trouble-saving, small footprint, and easy operation and maintenance are particularly prominent.

Now, let's go back to the question at the beginning: Is the cantilever crane a special equipment?In order to answer this question, we need to refer to relevant national laws, regulations and policy documents.According to the clear reply from the State Administration for Market Regulation and the adjustment of the special equipment catalog (National Quality Inspection and Inspection Special Special Co., Ltd. [2014] No. 679), the cantilever crane has been deleted from the special equipment catalog.This adjustment means that from a legal and policy perspective, cantilever cranes are no longer considered special equipment.

There are many reasons behind this change.First of all, with the continuous advancement of technology and the increasingly perfected production processes, the design, manufacturing and use safety of cantilever cranes has been significantly improved.Secondly, the safety supervision and management of special equipment requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to delete the cantilever crane from the special equipment catalog, which will help reduce the burden on relevant regulatory departments and enable them to focus more on the supervision of high-risk equipment.Finally, from the perspective of market demand and practical application, as a light lifting machine, cantilever crane has a wide range of uses and stable safety performance. Eliminating it from the scope of special equipment will not have a substantial impact on production safety.

Of course, although cantilever cranes no longer fall into the category of special equipment, this does not mean that we can ignore its safety performance and usage specifications.When using cantilever cranes, relevant safety operating procedures and maintenance requirements must still be strictly followed to ensure that they are in good working condition.At the same time, the user unit should also strengthen the training and management of operators, improve their safety awareness and operating skills to prevent accidents.

To sum up, cantilever cranes are no longer considered special equipment.This change is based on a comprehensive consideration of technological progress, market demand and laws and regulations.However, whether it is
