The following sections show how the underslung travelling crane is installed.
─ Where underslung travelling cranes are delivered disassembled, the end carriages are attached first. See Fixing the end carriages onto the main girder.
─ The connection cables are then connected to the crane panels on the ground. See Connecting connection cables to crane panels.
─ The safety buffers are then installed on the ground (see Installing the safety buffers) and, if necessary, the clamping buffers are installed (see Installing the clamping buffer).
─ Afterwards, the towing arm of the mobile control is assembled. See Assembling the towing arm of the mobile control.
─ Damage to paintwork is then repaired (see Repairing damage to paintwork) and the operating direction signs are attached (see Attaching operating direction signs).
─ The crane is then raised under the crane track using a lorry-mounted crane. See Installing the underslung travelling crane under the crane track .
─ Then the travel mechanisms are fitted on the crane track. See Folding up the side panels.
─ The crane travel drives are then connected. See Connecting the drive.
─ The mains power supply is then installed on the crane track and connected. See Installing the mains power carrying fork (MCF).
─ The cross-type limit switch is then installed as crane travel limit switch. See Installing the cross-type limit switch.
─ As a final step the end carriages and travel mechanisms are tightened with the correct tightening torque. See Fastening the end carriages tightly.
