Mounting the buffer rods

 

The buffer rods prevent two trolleys (e.g. from two cranes) from running into each other. They are made up of a metal frame on the side panels of the trolley and one rubber buffer each.

 

Shortening the mounts

 

On the mounts of all trolleys:

 

Distance for 192 mm length

Distance for 284 mm length

*    For each trolley, saw off two mounts each at a right angle at 192 mm.

*    Deburr the sawed edge.

 

 

Installing the mount

On both sides of the trolley and on both trolleys:

 

Only with HF3, HF6 and HF/EF 14

 

*    Hold the mounting plate against the hole pattern on the trolley side panel.

*    Screw on the mounting plate with the rib screws M6x12. 19 Nm.

 

 

 

Mount

Rib screws M6x12

*    Hold the mount against the hole pattern on the trolley side panel (or the mounting plate).

*    Tighten the mount using rib screws M6x12 (2x each), only hand-tight at first.

 

 

Shortening the buffer rod

Rubber buffer

*    Shorten the buffer rod evenly on both sides in accordance with the flange width.

The rubber buffer must be exactly in the centre of the buffer rod later.

*    Screw the rubber buffer to the buffer rod using the self-locking nut M8. 19 Nm.

Threaded bracket

 

*    Screw the threaded bracket loosely to the mount at first using the self-locking nut M8.

*    Slide the buffer rod into the threaded bracket on both sides.

 

 

Aligning the buffer rods

Rubber buffer

 

*    Align the buffer rods to both trolleys. The rubber buffers must be exactly above one another.

*    Tighten the rib screws M6x12 on the side panel. 19 Nm.

*    Screw the threaded bracket tight. 25 Nm.

 

 

Note:

If a greater distance between two cranes is required than is possible with the buffer rods, an additional trolley with buffer rods on both sides can be mounted between the cranes.
