The following sections show how the single girder travelling crane is assembled.

─     Where overhead travelling cranes are delivered disassembled, the end carriages are affixed first. See Fixing the end carriages onto the main girder .

─     The crane travel drives are then connected on the ground. See Connecting the crane travel drives.

─     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 also repaired (see Repairing damage to paintwork) and the operating direction signs are attached (see Attaching operating direction signs.

─     The crane is then raised onto the crane track using a lorry-mounted crane. See Lifting the overhead travelling crane onto the crane track

─     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 screws of the end carriages are tightened with the correct tightening torque. See Fastening the end carriages tightly.
