3.4 Accessories
According to crane use, there are accessories whose application is not compulsory, but which are essential in some
cases. These are:
¾ Winch (see chap. 6.7.1 for electrical winch and 6.7.2. for the manual winch);
¾ Stabilizers (see chap. 6.7.3).
The merely optional accessories are:
¾ Back load attachment (see chap. 6.7.4).
¾ Quick fitting kit (see chap. 6.7.5).
3.4.1 Winch
The winch is a rope lifting device, which is installed on the crane boom, through proper fastening, and which together
with the transmission, coupling and safety devices, becomes an integral part of it
The winch is an accessory allowing the vertical load handling.
On cranes equipped with mechanic strut, the winch is no longer an accessory, rather an essential component, as it is
the only available lifting device.
On this crane, the winch can be either mechanical or electrical, and relevant instructions are reported respectively in
sub-paragraphs 6.7.1 and 6.7.2.
3.4.2 Stabilizers
The stabilizers are installed on the vehicle to increase stability and prevent overturning.
The stabilizers are consisting of rods to whose end a stabilizer leg is applied; such leg is an extendable telescopic tube
which lowers and leans on the ground by a plate. Such rods can be either fixed or extendable from a tube fixed on the
vehicle, called main beam; the rod locking in this case is made by means of an automatic hooking device.
The stabilizer’s instructions for use are listed in sub-paragraph 6.7.3.
