3.4 Materials. Materials used shall be free from defects which would
adversely affect the performance or maintainability of individual components or
of the overall assembly. Materials not specified herein shall be of the same
quality used for the intended purpose in commercial practice. Unless otherwise
specified herein, all equipment, material, and articles incorporated in the work
covered by this specification are to be new and fabricated using materials
produced from recovered materials to the maximum extent possible without
jeopardizing the intended use. The term "recovered materials" means materials
which have been collected or recovered from solid waste and reprocessed to
become a source of raw materials, as opposed to virgin raw materials. None of
the above shall be interpreted to mean that the use of used or rebuilt products
are allowed under this specification unless otherwise specified.
3.5 Identical items . All units of the same classification furnished under a
specific contract shall be physically and mechanically identical. Parts,
accessories, assemblies, and components are included in this requirement.
Written approval for deviations must be obtained in advance from the contracting
officer.
3.6. Maintainability. The crane design, together with component and
accessory location and installation, shall permit ready accessibility to all
items requiring periodic maintenance service in the field, which will be
accomplished with the use of conventional general-purpose tools associated with
equipment of this nature. The replacement and adjustment of components and
accessories shall be accomplished with minimum drainage requirements and minimum
disturbance to other elements of the crane.
3.6.1 Interchangeabilitv. All units of the same classification furnished
with similar options under a specific contract shall be identical to the extent
necessary to insure interchangeability of component parts, assemblies,
accessories, and spare parts.
3.7 Safety. The crane shall comply with OSHA regulations and current ANSI
standards. All rotating or reciprocating parts and all parts subject to high
operational temperatures, that are of such nature or are so located as to be or
become a hazard to the operating or attending personnel, shall be substantially
guarded, or insulated, to the extent necessary to eliminate the hazard. The
principal platform walking surfaces shall be of an anti-skid type. Ladders,
steps, and handholds shall be provided in such quantity and of such size on the
sides of the crane cab or superstructure that entrance thereto and exit there
from may be unhampered and nonhazardous. Engine cooling fans shall have heavy
grille or ring type guards. The crane counterweight, boom point and hook block
cheek plates shall be painted with stripes applied to the basic color (see 6.1).
Stripes shall be 2 inches wide, with 2-inch spacing extending at a 45 degree
angle. Stripes shall be black.
3.8 Stress requirements. Design of the completely assembled crane shall be
such that the maximum stress imposed will not exceed the minimum strength
margins contained in SAE J1063. Tests, in accordance with SAE J1063, shall have
been performed on the model crane being provided and of the configuration to
meet or exceed the specified load requirements of this procurement . These test
results shall be made available for government review at the time of first
article tests.
