Mast Stop
Mast Stop Cylinders
See Figure 1-61 for the following procedure.
Mast stop cylinders are connected to the mast and contact
the gantry pins to stop the mast when at or near maximum
mast angle. The hydraulically filled cylinders act as shock
absorbers to cushion the mast as it contact the gantry. After a
certain distance, the mast stop cylinders bottom out to stop
mast travel.
Mast Stop System Operation
See Figure 1-61 for the following procedure.
The crane auxiliary pump supplies pressurized hydraulic
fluid to mast stop cylinders and jib strut cylinders at 2,200 psi
(152 bar) to 2,900 psi (200 bar). The system pressure is
monitored and controlled by the mast accumulator pressure
sensor. From crane auxiliary pump, pressurized hydraulic
goes through quick disconnect at mast butt, through an in-
line check valve, and into an accumulator mounted on the
mast butt.
