This Code of Practice concerns all lifting operations involving rail cranes, twin jib cranes, road-rail excavator cranes, and vehicle mounted knuckle boom cranes such as lorry loader cranes. This Code of Practice also concerns vehicle mounted lifting arms/gantries, S&C panel lifting equipment and rail mounted gantries.

The Code of Practice also applies where road mobile cranes and lorry loader cranes are used, or have the possibility to encroach, “on or near the line” (as defined in the Rule Book).  This Code of Practice does not apply to MEWPs, which are covered by COP0024.
