Storage of the crane

 

Gebot Anleitung lesen

Observe the product manuals!

In addition to the points described here, all information in the section “Storage” in the other supplied product manuals also applies.

 

If the crane is not installed immediately:

Rainwater on the main girder

Film

*   Wipe off any rainwater.

*   Cover unpainted surfaces and openings with film and mask it.

*   Unpack components wrapped in film (e.g. pillars and jib arms from the jib crane). Otherwise, condensation collects under the film.

 

*   Store unpainted metallic parts, wire rope hoists, chain hoists, electrical and electronic components in a dry, dust-free place.

*   Store painted metallic parts as dry and dust-free as possible.

 

 

Inspection after lengthier storage

Should the crane be installed after it has been in storage for a lengthier period:

*   Perform a visual inspection of all components. They should be neither heavily soiled nor dusty.

*   Inspect the paintwork. The paint should not be cracked or peeling.

*   Inspect metallic parts. They should exhibit no rust.

*   Inspect electrical components. Live parts (e.g. bushes, pins and terminals) should not be oxidised (e.g. discoloured or roughened surface).
