12.6.8 Assembling counterweight versions – on the counterweight
platform
G
Danger of overturning when slewing with a rigged counterweight!
You may only slew the superstructure with a rigged counterweight if an outrigger
span of sufficient size is rigged. Support the truck crane accordingly and confirm
the rigging mode at the RCL;
à Slewing with a rigged counterweight, p. 12 - 76.
This prevents the truck crane overturning when slewing.
G
Risk of accidents!
Combine the counterweights with each other only in the way prescribed in this
chapter and in the Lifting capacity table. Other combinations are not permitted.
If other versions are assembled, the truck crane is no longer protected against
overloading by the RCL.
G
Risk of crushing when setting down the counterweight sections!
Make sure the helpers keep a sufficient distance away from the counterweight
sections with any parts of their body when setting down the counterweight
sections.
Remove all objects from the counterweight platform that could become jammed
or crushed!
G
Risk of crushing when slewing the superstructure!
The access ladders are located in the slewing range of the superstructure.
Make sure nobody uses the access ladders (helpers for example) whilst you are
lifting a section on to the counterweight platform.
G
Risk of accidents due to falling counterweight sections!
Only attach the counterweight sections to the appropriate slinging points and use
lifting gear of sufficient load bearing capacity.
