Introduction

Background of Standard Evolution

This standard replaces the 1985 version of GB/T 5082. The main technical changes include: deletion of 6 items such as sound signals and management requirements, and expansion of hand gestures from the original 12 to 28, which is completely consistent with the international standard ISO 16715:2014. The revision focuses on:

Core gesture signal analysis

4.1 General requirements

The signal sender must: be in a position visible to the crane operator, maintain a single signal source (except emergency stop), and the combined signal must have clear priority.

4.3 Vertical Movement Signals

Signal NameAction GuidelinesSafety Threshold
Uniform RaiseOne arm overhead, index finger making a circleSpeed ≤0.5m/s
Slow DescentMain signal hand + auxiliary palm downwardSpeed ≤0.2m/s

Implementation and Application Suggestions

Case Study: During the operation of class=instrument>port gantry cranes, when the load needs to move horizontally and the boom needs to be raised or lowered at the same time, composite signals should be used according to clause 4.5.7:
1. Extend the left hand horizontally with the thumb pointing upward (boom raising)
2. Make a circle with the right hand downward (load lowering)
Ensure that the interval between the two signals is ≥3 seconds

Special equipment such as crawler cranes should pay attention to clause 4.4.5: Single-side crawler locking requires a fist gesture to clearly identify the locked side.
