SET-UP   NBT40 SERIES OPERATOR MANUAL 
MULTI-PART LINE REEVING
Multipart line reeving enables greater loads to be lifted than
can be lifted with single part line. However, loads are limited
by the stability and structural integrity of the crane. The load
must be within the limits contained in the load chart.
Using Multiple Part Lines
The hoist data chart provides information for pull limitations
on the hoist with various multipart reevings. These ratings
are based on providing the proper operating safety factor on
the cable supplied with the machine. Therefore, any
replacement rope must meet the cable specification in of this
manual.
The NBT36 is rated to lift 72,000 lbs (36 ton) at a 7 ft radius
with all booms retracted with an seven part block
The NBT40 is rated to lift 80,000 lbs (40 ton) at a 7 ft radius
with all booms retracted with an eight part block
The NBT45 is rated to lift 90,000 lbs (45 ton) at a 7 ft radius
with all booms retracted with an eight part block.
All pulls shown in the following table are on the fourth layer.
The line pulls increase and the speed decreases on the third,
second, and first layers.
NOTE: Keep at least three wraps of loadline on the drum at
all times.
Do not deadhead hook block against boom tip
when extending the boom.
Refer to load charts for all layers and wire rope
capacities.

The hook block must be sized to the number of line parts. For example, do not use a six part line hook block on a three part line reeving. Contact 
your National Crane Distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care to order the proper hook block.
