The kingposts and both supporting back legs will be mounted on foundations at the same height. 1.1.3 The barge crane shall have a safe working load on the whip hook of at least 2500 pounds at any point within a radius of six feet to 16 feet from the kingpost. The boom shall be capable of bearing this load while being rotated through an arc of at least 250 degrees (as the placement of the support legs allows). The boom shall be capable of positioning the whip hook at any point within its working radii. 1.1.4 The kingpost and back legs shall be arranged so that they can be connected / disconnected from the bases or pivots without welding or cutting, so the crew may position the barge crane on foundations on either side. The bases or pivots may be permanently welded to the foundation, or bolted to it, at the Contractor?s option, but the barge crane shall be capable of being disconnected from the pivot by removal of a pin or similar fastening, rather than unbolting the base or pivot from the structure. The foundations are provided by the Government and are a permanent part of the cutter?s structure. 1.1.5 The whip hook shall be hoisted by either a single cable connected to the winch or a two part cable with the standing end dead ended to the boom and the running part on the winch. 1.1.6 The pneumatic motors operating the slew and hoist functions shall have fittings to be supplied with 150 PSI air from existing hose(s) connected to an existing ?? air tool connection. 1.1.7 The barge crane shall have a hook with safety catch. The boat sling is four feet above the cutter gunwale (base of the crane), so the crane shall be capable of lifting the boat up at least an additional three feet above this point. 1.1.8 All equipment shall be capable of being certified to ABS requirements for equipment not lifting persons or lifting overhead, but certification is not required. 1.1.9 The crane shall be provided with a spare boom rest (NABRICO Part 79553 or equal), a spare kingpost pivot (NABRICO Part 80020 or equal) and a pair of spare back leg pivots (NABRICO Part 80039, and 80047 or equal). 1.1.10 Preservation/surface preparation/coating system for the barge crane shall be in accordance with the USCG Coatings and Color Manual (COMDINST M10360.3C) requirements for Machinery, Deck (Exterior) Option I, II, or III.
