In the past couple of years, several companies in the crane and aerial lift manufacturing industry have started marketing some of their cranes as “dual-rated” or “dual purpose.” Typically, these companies will advertise that they have designed a crane that is compliant with both the design standards for cranes (ASME B30.5) and for aerial lifts (ANSI A92.2). The purpose of this letter is to inform you about certain safety concerns raised by a “dual-rated” crane/aerial lift and the feasibility of operating such equipment in a manner that is both safe and legal. Before purchasing dual-rated equipment, please contact your Custom Truck One Source representative so that we can discuss what equipment best meets your safety and operational requirements. This below opinion was provided by Elliott Equipment a write-up on the rise and fall of “Dual-Rated” ideology and why you should think twice before making such a purchase, as there are safety and operational risks which should be considered and assessed. Why Dual-Rated Equipment Isn’t Worth Compromising Safety
