19.8 Mobile crane repair

All worn or damaged parts of a crane that constitute a hazard or impair the operation of the crane, or may constitute a hazard before the next routine inspection, should be repaired or replaced. All repaired or new parts must comply with the crane manufacturer’s instructions. Where these are not available, the repaired or new parts must comply with the recommendations of a competent person, taking into account the requirements of this code and appropriate Australian Standards or any other relevant technical standard.
