Loading and unloading the overhead travelling crane

 

Warnung Vorsicht

Danger to persons from falling components!

The crane can fall and kill or injure people if it is not correctly attached and lifted. Attachment and loading should only be carried out by trained persons.

 

 

 

 

Observe the following points amongst others:

 

Attaching the main girders

Clamping buffer

Edge protection

 

Lifting tackle

*   Place suitable lifting tackle around the main girders.

*   Cover all edges of the main girder with suitable edge protection.

 

Only with energy chains

*   If the profile rails (in which the energy chain is) protrude to the side, lay wooden beams (wider than the profile rails) over the profile rails so that they are not damaged on lifting.

 

 

 

Only for ELK and ELV main girders

*   Adjust the trolley or lifting tackle in such a way that the main girder hangs straight when it is lifted.

*   Secure the trolleys with clamping buffers so that they do not slip on lifting.

 

 

 

Only for ELS main girders

*   Secure the trolley onto the main girder with a tension belt or similar.

*   Adjust the lifting tackle in such a way that the main girder hangs vertically and horizontally straight when it is lifted.

Due to the laterally running trolley track and the overhanging trolley, the main girder is unbalanced on one side.

 

 

 

Setting down the main girders

*   Set down the main girders on stands which have sufficient load capacity.

With the trolley installed underneath the main girder: The stands must be at least high enough that the rope is not buckled or pinched. Ideally, the stands should be high enough that the trolley load hook hangs freely.
