BOOM RIGGING
Assist Crane Requirements
Either the live mast or an assist crane can be used to handle
and assemble the boom section. See Crane Weights in
Section 1 for the weights of boom sections.
Blocked Crawler
To prevent the crane from tipping, some boom and jib
lengths must be raised and lowered over the end of blocked
crawlers. See capacity charts for blocked crawler
requirements and Crawler Blocking Diagram in Capacity
Charts Manual for instructions.
Do not attempt to raise or lower boom from or to ground until
crawlers are blocked, if required.
Handling Components
Handle boom and jib sections with care to avoid damaging
lacings and chords. The boom and jib sections have lifting
lugs designed to provide a balanced load and to prevent
damage during lifting.
Boom Assembly Drawing
Boom sections (top, inserts, straps) must be assembled in
proper sequence according to Boom Assembly Drawing at
the end of this section.
WARNING
Tipping Hazard
Block ends of crawlers, if required, before you attempt to
raise or lower boom from or to ground.
CAUTION
Personal Injury or Property Damage!
Ensure the boom straps remain properly secured in the
shipping position to the boom insert or boom top during
transportation loading or unloading and assembly or
disassembly of the boom. Straps could shift or fall
resulting in personal injury, property damage, or lacing
damage if not properly secured.
WARNING
Falling Load Hazard!
Lifting lugs on a particular boom or jib section are
designed only for lifting that section only. Do not attempt
to lift two or more boom or jib sections with lifting lugs only
on one section. Lifting lugs may break allowing boom or
jib sections to fall.
When lifting lugs are not used:
• Lift against chords only, never against lacings.
• Use nylon lifting slings. If wire rope or chain slings are
used, install protective covering (such as sections of
rubber tire) between slings and chords.
WARNING
Collapsing Boom Hazard!
Boom can collapse if not assembled in correct sequence.
Follow assembly sequence in Boom Assembly Drawing.
