SHIPPING CRANE COMPONENTS
This section contains outline dimensions and weights for the
major components of the crane. For weights of other
components, see Crane Weights on page 1-9
in Section 1.
For the dimensions of the boom and jib sections, see the
Range Diagram in your Capacity Chart Manual.
To ensure the crane’s self-erecting system can load and
unload the carbody and upperworks assembly, the trailer
must meet the specifications given in Figure 4-4
.
It is the owner/user’s responsibility to ensure the following:
• All trailer loads comply with local, state, and federal
transportation requirements.
• All crane components are properly blocked and secured
so they cannot fall off the trailers.
• Avoid damage to components. See Figure 4-3
for the
following:
- Use nylon tie-downs to secure the components (see
View A).
- If chain tie-downs are used, install protective
covering (such as sections of rubber tire) between
the chain and the component being secured
(see View B).
- When securing the boom sections, wrap tie-downs
over the chords, never over the lacings. Keep the
tie-downs as close to the blocking as possible to
prevent bending the chords (see View A).
