Installing the wire rope hoist on the main girder

 

If the wire rope hoist has not been installed yet, continue here. Otherwise, skip this section.

 

Only with an open main girder connection

If the main girder connection is not closed, the wire rope hoist can be pushed onto the lower flange.

In the following, the assembly on a main girder is shown as a box girder. The installation on an I-beam does not differ significantly.

 

 

Main girder

Counterweight side

Wire rope hoist

*   Rotate the wire rope hoist so that the counterweight side faces the power supply.

*   Observe the occupational health and safety requirements and raise the wire rope hoist.

*   Push the wire rope hoist from the open side onto the main girder connection and set it down with the wheels.

 

 

 

 

Only with a closed main girder connection

In the following, the assembly on a main girder is shown as a box girder. The installation on an I-beam does not differ significantly.

 

Disassembling drives

To facilitate the installation, two of the four drives on the side panels on the drum side of the wire rope hoist are disassembled.

 

On both drives on the drum side:

Rib screw

Drive

Side panel

 

*   Release the rib screws (4x) on the drive.

 

 

Side panel

Drive

*   Pull the drive out of the side panel.

 

 

Detaching the side panels

In order to be able to install the wire rope hoist on the main girder, the side panels are pushed outward on the bearing bolt.

 

On both drives on the drum side:

 

Side panel

Cover

Rib screw

*   Release the rib screws M10x20 (2x) on the cover.

*   Pull the cover from the bearing bolt.

 

 

Bearing bolt

Side panel

*   Push the side panel outward on the bearing bolt.

The wire rope hoist must be pushed apart so far that the distance between the wheels is wider than the lower flange.

 

 

Installing the wire rope hoist on the main girder

 

Main girder

Wire rope hoist

 

*   Lift the wire rope hoist under the main girder using, for example, a lift truck.

 

 

On both drives on the counterweight side:

Wheel

Main girder

Side panel with drive

 

*   Rotate the wire rope hoist so that the counterweight side faces the power supply.

*   Push the wheels on the side panel with the drive onto the main girder.

The wheels must lie with their running surface fully on the lower flange!

 

 

On both drives on the drum side:

Bearing bolt

Side panel

*   Push the side panel onto the bearing bolt.

The wheels must lie with their running surface fully on the lower flange!

 

 

Bearing bolt

Cover

Shim washer

Support washer

*   Push the shim washer and support washer onto the bearing bolt.

*   Screw the cover onto the bearing bolt with the rib screws M10x20. 75 Nm.

 

 

Installing the drive

Now the drives are installed on the side panels.

 

On both drives on the drum side:

 

Rib screw

Side panel

Drive

*   Slide the drive in the driven wheel on the side panel.

*   Bolt on the drive with the rib screws M10x30 (4x). 75 Nm.

 

 

 

 

Installing the lift-off prevention device

On both sides of the end carriage:

Buffer plate

Main girder

Lift-off prevention device

High-tensile bolt M16x50

*   Bolt the lift-off prevention device to the buffer plate with washers and high-tensile bolts M16x50 (6x). 250 Nm.

The chamfer of the washer must point toward the bolt head.

The lift-off prevention device must grip around the lower flange or the flange of the main girder.

 

 

Checking the tolerance of the track gauge

Danger from falling suspended load!

If the tolerance of the track gauge is exceeded, the wire rope hoist with load could slip from the beam and seriously or fatally injure someone.

Before installing, check the tolerance precisely.

 

 

Wheel flange

Wheel

Side panel

Flange

*   Measure the clearance between wheel flange and rail “SP” (distance between flange and wheel flange of the wheel) on both sides of the lower trolley frame at all four side panels.

All wheels must lie on the flange!

The measured value may not be larger than 2 mm on either side.
