Installing the guard plates

Depending on the crane design, guard plates are now installed, or one of the versions in the previous sections.

 

Note

A guard plate can also be fitted on an adjustable brake as long as it is in the working and traffic area. The working and traffic area is defined as a height of 2.5 m, measured from the floor of building.

 

Only with a slewing gear unit in the working and traffic area

This section only applies when the slewing gear unit is suspended so low that it is located in the working and traffic area.

 

The figures show installation of the guard plates on the safety plate. Installation of the guard plates on the adjustable brake is, essentially, no different.
