Selecting the installation option of the mains power supply

Depending on the type of crane and the on-site conditions in the building, the mains power supply is installed differently.

 

*   If available: Read the position of the mains power carrying fork from the planning documents (drawing “Installation position of mains power carrying fork (MCF)”).

 

 

Installing the mount on the end carriage

One or two mounts are now assembled on the left or right of the end carriage, according to the previously selected installation version.

 

If necessary:

Mount

Ribbed end cap

Shorten mount to required length

 

*   Remove the ribbed end caps (2x) from the mount.

*   Shorten the mount.

The required length is determined by the on-site conditions in the building and the safety clearances from the crane drawing.

*   Reinsert the ribbed end caps (2x) into the ends of the mount.

 

 

Threaded bracket

Mount

Connecting vertical square tubes

For more than one vertical square tube:

 

Mount

Second vertical square tube (optional)

Current collector mount
