6 Driving modes and rigging for on-road driving
This chapter contains:
– Tables with driving modes of the GMK 6400, in which the maximum axle
load is 12 t (26 500 lbs)
– Rigging work required in order to set down the main boom on a trailer
– Installation/removal of the main boom

Information on the
axle loads
The GMK 6400 truck crane is designed for driving with maximum axle loads
of 12 t (26 500 lbs). Manitowoc Crane Group Germany GmbH notes that
driving with an axle load exceeding 12 t (26 500 lbs), the brake system can
overheat and the braking deceleration required by the EU partial type-
approval cannot be ensured.
If country-specific regulations allow the truck crane to be driven with axle
loads greater that 12 t (26 500lbs), the crane driver/operator bears the sole
responsibility for driving in this condition and for any subsequent damage.
This also applies to damage due to premature wear.
G
Risk of accident from increased braking distance
When driving with axle loads in excess of 12 t (26 500 lbs), the braking
deceleration required by the EU partial type-approval cannot be met. Please
bear in mind that the braking distance of the truck crane will increase as a
result.
S
Risk of damage from premature wear
Premature wear of parts under particular strain (brake system, steering,
tyres, wheels, suspension, drive shafts) cannot be ruled out even if the axle
loads only briefly exceed 12 t (26 500 lbs).
