Important information 1.6 Safety instructions for work with the truck crane

1.6

Safety instructions for work with the truck crane Carefully select a safe site for the truck crane to stand from where you can work safely.

Check over the truck crane before beginning crane work. Check the condition of the truck crane carefully using the check lists in the operating instructions. Do not assume that everything is in working order simply because it was in working order when work was last completed.

Check daily before starting to work with the crane that all guards and safety devices are correctly fitted and that they are all in a proper condition.

Check the safety devices each day before beginning work (SLI, lifting limit switch, dead man’s switch, emergency stop switch for crane control).

Use the appropriate access aids when carrying out overhead rigging or maintenance work. Do not use parts of the crane as access aids.

Walk only on those machine parts which are equipped with appropriate steps and railings and therefore guarantee safety. During rigging and maintenance work on machine sections above body height which have no apparatus for accessing, always use the extension ladder supplied (e.g. when reeving the hoist rope on the boom head).

Keep all handles, steps, step treads and ladders free of dirt, snow and ice.

Check all operating and control elements in the crane operator’s cab before starting the crane engine.

Monitor all warning and indicator lamps as well as the control instruments when the engine is started.

Make sure that there are no unauthorised people in the vicinity of or on the truck crane when rigging or during crane work. Secure the danger zone using cordons and mark them as such.

14.03.2001

When lifting a load, raise the boom to balance out the increase in radius caused by the boom bending so that the load is lifted up when in a vertical position and does not drag, injure helpers or fall into the hoist rope diagonally (e.g. from a vehicle or scaffolding) Inform banksmen and helpers about this as well.

Important information 1.6 Safety instructions for work with the truck crane

Support the truck crane with the supporting span for the current rigged counterweight before turning the superstructure.

Ensure that the truck crane is horizontally aligned before carrying out crane work.

Only use equipment (counterweight sections, lattice extensions) that belongs to your truck crane. The serial number of both the truck crane and the equipment must be identical.

Simultaneously lifting loads with two cranes is particularly dangerous.

Use extreme caution when carrying out this type of work.

When work is interrupted, always put the load down and never leave the truck crane if a load is raised.

Lock the truck crane when you leave the cab to prevent unauthorized use.

14.03.2001

Crane work carried out in the vicinity of supply lines such as oil, gas or other supply lines is dangerous and requires that special precautionary measures be taken. Please refer to the section titled Crane operation under special operating conditions in the Safety manual, and observe the relevant national regulations.

3.1.1

Rope grab Since the hoist ropes are always guided between the Megalift and the main boom when the Megalift is installed, the rope grab is not necessary for operation with the operation.

This means that any rope grab which is installed must be removed before installation of the Megalift.

The transport mounting (1) for the rope grab (2) is on the left-hand side of the main boom.

14.03.2001

If you remove the Megalift and wish to operate the crane without it, the rope grab must be reinstalled; ➠ GMK 6300 Operating instructions.

Megalift 3.2 Mode of operation

The Megalift is a steel construction consisting of a guy block (7), a rope winch (5) and the end-tensioning posts (6). The guy block is locked to the basic section of the main boom. On the guy block there are two hydraulic cylinders (8) to raise the steel construction (raising cylinder). There is a further hydraulic cylinder (4) in the winch, for bracing the rope winch. For operation, the rope winch is separated from the guy block and bolted to the main boom.

Using the two raising cylinders (8), the guy block is first raised partially for rigging and then, for working, it is raised to the 90° position. The endtensioning posts locked to the main boom stabilise the raised guy block in its position.

The rope winch is used to brace the construction. To do this, the rope (1) runs over the guy block, is diverted over the roller mount (2) and is fastened at the head of the guy block. To brace, the roller mount is fastened to end of telescopic section III using the roller mount posts (3).

After the telescopic section has been telescoped and locked, the guy procedure is carried out in two stages. First pre-tensioning is carried out, with the hydraulic motor pulling the rope tight with a force of approx. 1 t. For the actual guy procedure, the hydraulic cylinder in the rope winch rotates it until it is in a position where it can be locked. This procedure is carried out automatically.

14.03.2001

The stress thus created in the boom system compensates for the force which arises when a load is lifted by the boom. In this way, the whole boom is balanced and the load bearing capacity increased.

For this reason, position the hook block of the auxiliary crane above the Megalift in such a way that it is almost above the strut on which the rope winch is suspended. Otherwise the Megalift unit will tilt at the lokking points on the main boom when raised, and could destroy them.

H Turning a load

• On the Hoists indicator lamps, lamp II is now lit for the auxiliary hoist and lamp I flashes for the main hoist.

• Set the SLI code for Operation with main boom and Megalift which is valid for the current rigging mode of the truck crane.

Now the SLI is set for two-hook operation, taking into account the reeving for the auxiliary hoist and the lifting capacity table for the main boom with Megalift.

In two-hook operation, the load measurement is taken using the pressure in the derricking cylinder. The loads detailed in the Lifting capacity table then lessen with respect to the weight of both reeved hook blocks and the weight of the auxiliary single-sheave boom top.

To turn loads, proceed only in the manner described below.

Keep the acceleration force as low as possible during two-hook operation.

Therefore move the load at the lowest possible speed!

As soon as the hoist rope on the main boom is pulled taut, the status display Actual load will exhibit slight deviations. However, the differences are on the safe side with regard to SLI shutdown.

With two-hook operation, the SLI code for operation with main boom and Megalift remains activated during the entire hoist procedure.

Operation with main boom and Megalift 4.5 Turning loads with the auxiliary single-sheave boom top and Megalift

• Lift the load completely off the ground with the auxiliary single-sheave boom top.

• Only now should you attach the load to the hook block of the main boom as well.

• Reel off hoist rope on the auxiliary single-sheave boom top until the load is hanging from the hook block on the main boom only.

Turning the load is thus completed.
