American National Standard For Vehicle-Mounted Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Devices

1 Introduction Mobile units covered by this standard are generally designed to be supported on bridge surfaces of varying degrees of grade and super-elevation and have the capability of providing personnel quick and easy access to the underside of such structures.

The rapid development of a wide variety of trailer and truck-mounted mobile unit designs necessitates the establishment of standards for their design, manufacture, remanufacture, installation, performance, inspection, training, maintenance, testing and use.

Normally, they are not insulated for use near electrically energized apparatus nor are they intended to be used in hazardous locations. Any mobile unit intended for use around energized electrical apparatus shall be designed, manufactured, and used in accordance with the requirements outlined in ANSI/SIA A92.2-2009, Vehicle- Mounted Elevating and Rotating Aerial Devices.

The operation of any mobile unit is subject to certain hazards that can be protected against only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense and not by mechanical means. It is essential to have competent, careful personnel trained in the intended use, safe operation, maintenance and service of this type of equipment.

2 Scope, Purpose and Requirements

2.1 Scope

2.1.1 Equipment covered. This Standard applies to

mobile units capable of positioning a platform alongside or beneath a bridge deck or equivalent structure while being supported from such structure and are used to position personnel, along with their necessary tools and materials, at work locations. Typical examples of this type of equipment are shown in Figure 1 on page 48.

2.1.2 Equipment not covered. The scope of this

standard does not include the following equipment:

Ladder and ladder stands such as those covered in American National Standards for Ladder and Ladder Stands, ANSI A14 series Scaffolding such as those covered in American National Standard for Scaffolding Safety Requirements, ANSI A10.8-2001 Vehicle and trailer mounted Elevating and Rotating Mobile units such as those covered in American National

(3) Establishment and understanding by designers, manufacturers, remanufacturers, installers, dealers, owners, users, operators, lessees, lessors and brokers of their respective responsibilities.

2.2.1 Effective Dates. This Standard will become

effective xxxxxxxxx, 20xx as follows:

(1) Design, manufacture and remanufacture requirements.

The design and manufacturing requirements of this Standard will apply to all mobile units manufactured on or after the effective date. Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Devices remanufactured on or after the effective date of this Standard shall comply with the requirements of this Standard.

(2) Rebuilt/reconditioned Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Devices shall comply with the standard in effect as of the date of their original manufacture.

(3) Installation Requirements. The installation requirements of this Standard apply to all Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Devices installed on or after the effective date.

(4) Responsibilities for installers, dealers, owners, users, operators, lessors, lessees, and brokers. All provisions detailed for dealers, owners, users, operators, lessors, lessees, and brokers apply to both new and existing units delivered by sale, lease, rental, or any form of beneficial use on or after the effective date.

2.3 Requirements. The requirements of this Standard

shall be met or exceeded.
