100. Cranage—continued

101. Haulage of Steam Cranes—When the weight of the consignment to be handled is beyond the
     lifting capacity of a crane at a station and a crane is, at the request of the owner of the goods, hauled
     from another station the haulage and hire charges will be by special arrangement.

102. Hire of Mobile Cranes and Forklifts—Where a Departmental mobile lifting appliance is hired
     for lifts outside the station yard the following hire charges will apply—
     (a) Lifting capacity up to 3 tons, £2 5s. per hour including the wages of the crane driver only.
     (b) Lifting capacity over 3 tons but not exceeding 6 tons, £2 15s. per hour including the wages of
     the crane driver only.

The hire charges will accrue during the whole period the crane is absent from its headquarters
and in every case will be subject to a minimum as for one half hour.

The foregoing charges will also apply for the time a mobile crane is absent from its home station
performing lifts at other stations at the request of a consignor or consignee. Chief Stationmasters
and Goods Managers will authorise the movement of cranes for this purpose.

   alteration to a wagon, shall be received and carried except under special arrangements.
   (b) The Department does not undertake to supply cranes, forklifts, or any other mechanical
   lifting appliance, nor does it guarantee the lifting capacity thereof, or of any equipment used in
   connection therewith.
   (c) The loading and unloading of heavy articles at stations or sidings not provided with suitable
   lifting appliances for the handling of such packages must be undertaken by the owners at their own
   risk and expense, and such articles will not be received for carriage from or to such stations or
   sidings unless satisfactory arrangements shall first have been made by the owners for loading or
   unloading, as the case may be.
