Full title and description
ISO 10972-5:2006 — Cranes — Requirements for mechanisms — Part 5: Bridge and gantry cranes. This part of ISO 10972 specifies particular requirements for mechanisms used on bridge and gantry cranes, addressing layout, component selection and design, and instructions for manufacture, mounting, installation and testing.
Abstract
ISO 10972-5:2006 establishes the particular requirements relating to mechanisms for bridge and gantry cranes as defined in ISO 4306-1. It supplements the general requirements given in ISO 10972-1 and focuses on layout and design of mechanisms, selection and/or design requirements for components, and instructions for manufacturing, mounting, installation and testing. Rules for proof-of-competence calculations regarding limit states (yield strength, fatigue, wear) are excluded from this part.

Scope
This part of ISO 10972 specifies particular requirements for mechanisms for bridge and gantry cranes (as defined in ISO 4306-1). It covers general layout and design of mechanisms, selection and/or design requirements for components, and instructions for manufacture, mounting, installation and testing. It does not include detailed rules for proof-of-competence calculations for specific limit states such as yield, fatigue or wear.
Key topics and requirements
- General layout and mechanical design principles specific to bridge and gantry crane mechanisms.
- Selection and/or design requirements for components used in those mechanisms (gears, bearings, drives, brakes, couplings where applicable).
- Requirements for documentation and instructions covering manufacture, mounting, installation and testing.
- Explicit exclusion of proof-of-competence calculation rules for limit states (yield strength, fatigue, wear) from this part.
Typical use and users
Used by crane manufacturers, mechanical designers and engineers, testing and inspection bodies, conformity assessment organizations, maintenance teams and technical regulators to ensure mechanisms for bridge and gantry cranes meet agreed international requirements for design, component selection and installation. It is referenced when developing manufacturer instructions and installation/test procedures.
Related standards
Directly related to ISO 10972‑1 (general requirements for mechanisms) and to definition standards such as ISO 4306‑1 (crane vocabulary). Regional and product standards for bridge and gantry cranes (for example EN/BS/other national standards on bridge and gantry cranes) may refer to or align with this part of ISO 10972.
