Introduction

Analysis of core changes in GB/T 5031-2019 standard

This standard replaces the 2008 version, adds three new terms such as fixed tower crane and climbing support device, modifies the model classification method, strengthens the technical requirements for climbing devices, and deletes the reliability test clauses. The main technical changes are reflected in:

Technical field2008 edition2019 editionMain changes
Definition of terms12 items15 itemsNew terms related to support devices
Counterweight requirements5.2.1.15.2.1Add weight identification requirements
Climbing deviceNot separately specified5.2.3New strength verification requirements
Test methodIncluding reliability testDelete Appendix FCancel reliability test

Key performance parameter requirements

Independent lifting height: The maximum vertical distance between the hook support surface and the reference plane in the no-load state. The boom-luffing tower crane needs to distinguish between the maximum/minimum amplitude conditions. Measurement error requirements:

  • Maximum amplitude error ≤±2%
  • Minimum amplitude error ≤±10%
  • Vertical deviation ≤0.4% (independent state)

The rated lifting moment classification of a typical topless tower crane is shown in Table 1. For those above 630t·m, the actual lifting capacity needs to be calculated.


Innovation requirements for safety devices

The 2019 version adds mandatory inspections for the anti-slip function of the climbing device (5.6.11) and the boom amplitude range limiting device (Appendix D.6):

  1. The anti-slip device must remain locked when the hydraulic cylinder is accidentally stuck
  2. The amplitude limiting device must verify the reverse thrust at the maximum elevation angle of the boom
  3. Group tower operations must be equipped with a working space limiter (Appendix B)

Material and welding process control

The main load-bearing components are made of killed steel, and the welding joint type must comply with GB/T 985.1/985.2:

Material typeCarbon equivalent CEPreheating requirements
Carbon structural steel≤0.25%Thickness>50mm requires preheating
Low alloy steel≤0.46%Ambient temperature<0℃ requires preheating

Butt welds need to undergo level Ⅱ and above non-destructive testing (GB/T 3323).


Implementation suggestions

Manufacturing process: Focus on controlling the interchangeability of standard sections (main limb step difference ≤2mm) and high-strength bolt connections (contact surface ≥70%).

Usage management:

  • Establish a review system for attachment spacing calculations
  • Check track straightness monthly (gauge error ≤ 0.1%)
  • Anemometers must be calibrated regularly (>20m/s triggers an alarm)
