FINAL ASSEMBLY
a ) Ensure that the beam is secured properly to the support legs, and that the caster assemblies are secured properly to
the support legs.
b ) Confirm that all of the caster nuts (9) and bolts (10) and the beam clamp nuts (13) and bolts (11) are torqued to the
required specifications prior to removing support rigging.
ADJUSTING THE GANTRY HEIGHT
WARNING: Crane parts are heavy. Exercise caution when handling all parts during assembly, adjustment,
and disassembly processes. Never stand under the system when adjusting the system height or span or while
disassembling the system. Never adjust the gantry height while it is supporting a load.
a ) Secure the trolley and hoist in the center of the beam span.
b ) Slightly lift the beam to relieve the weight from the spring-loaded load pin using the optional Lug-All winch kit (if
included) or any other type of come along with sufficient lifting capacity attached to the lifting lug at the top of
the A-frame and the bottom of the upright tube on both legs, or an existing overhead crane or lift truck and lifting
straps.
NOTE: Make sure that the “winch hoist” or “come-along” has a combined capacity rating equal to the weight of
the beam and any hoist trolley that is suspended from the beam.
c ) Pull back the load pin and secure it in the lockout position.
d ) Operate the Lug-All hoist, other come along, overhead crane, or lift truck to raise or lower the height of the gantry.
NOTE: Both ends must be raised or lowered at the same time.
e ) When the gantry reaches the desired height, release the load pin. The load pin will self locate the hole in the
upright. Be sure the load pin is in the full lock-in position.
f ) Ensure that each support leg has the same number of holes visible in the upright tube.
g ) After you have secured the load pin and have ensured that each support leg has the same number of holes visible in
the upright tube, you can lower the beam and remove the crane or lift truck and lifting straps.
NOTE: Before removing the Lug-All hoist or other lifting equipment, ensure that the load pin is fully engaged.
