Assembling the A-frames

 

Preparing the lower end carriage

Assembly roller

Lower end carriage

Tapered rests on the assembly roller

 

*    Slide the two assembly rollers under the lower end carriage.

The tapered rests of the assembly rollers go underneath the end carriage.

The lower end carriage is the same on both sides. It therefore makes no difference which side (left or right on the end carriage) the assembly rollers are fastened on.

 

 

 

Lashing strap

*    Secure the two assembly rollers with lashing straps.

*    Turn the end carriage on its side with the assembly rollers.

 

 

Positioning the A-frames

Diagonal braces

 

A-frames

 

*    Place both A-frames on the bolted flange of the lower end carriage.

The A-frames are inclined slightly toward the centre of the end carriage. The diagonal braces will later point toward the inner side of the crane.
