Minnesota follows federal OSHA regulations for overhead and gantry cranes.
Minnesota’s state OSHA plan adopts most federal OSHA regulations by reference.
Minnesota rules contained in Part 5205.1200-1220 apply to any:
- Crane, derrick, or hoist having a maximum rated capacity of one ton or less;
- Monorails;
- Monorail or underhung cranes;
- Top-running single girder (underhung hoist) cranes;
- Railway or automobile wrecking cranes;
- Skip hoists;
- Hoist-like units used for horizontal pulling only;
- Mine hoists;
- Conveyors;
- Shovels;
- Drag line excavators or backhoes; or
- Any equipment within the scope of mobile scaffolds, towers and platforms.
However, all of these devices are excluded from the coverage of overhead or gantry cranes in 29 CFR 1910.179.
