English term or phrase:stowed
1) The hydraulic cylinders in the main boom were not fully closed when the crane was stowed in this position, therefore the weight of the jib had overcome the friction on deck & caused the slippage of the knuckle head across the deck. During this time the inspector had been positioned close to the equipment, needing to gain access either side for a complete overview.
2) Key Lessons
- Conduct such inspections & routine maintenance with the crane stowed in dedicated parking position i.e. crane crutch
- Ensure that the main boom cylinders are fully closed to avoid uncontrolled movement of crane jib.
