DISASSEMBLY
1. Disassembling the Beam
Refer to A-Series Aluminum Gantry Crane Assembly Drawing for Steps A Through K
WARNING: Crane parts are heavy. Exercise caution when handling all parts during assembly, adjustment, and
disassembly processes.
a ) Move the assembled A-Series Aluminum Gantry Crane to an area under an overhead hoist, or where a lift truck
can be used to raise the beam. Be sure there is no machinery or clutter nearby that will hamper free movement. All
personnel should be wearing applicable safety gear, such as hard hats, steel toe shoes, and safety glasses.
b ) Adjust the gantry height to its lowest position.
c ) Secure the hoist trolley in the center of the beam
d ) Ensure that the load pin on each A-frame assembly is fully engaged and secure.
e ) Using an overhead hoist or lift truck, attach the lifting straps to the beam to support the crane during disassembly.
f ) Lock the caster wheels in position parallel to the A-frame to prevent the frame assembly from rolling during
disassembly. Secure the gantry legs to prevent falling.
g ) Using a wrench and socket, remove the hex nuts (13) and lock washers (12) from the hex bolts (11) that secure the
beam from one A-frame assembly.
h ) Remove the hex bolts (11) with the attached beam clamps (15) and clipped washers (14).
i ) Remove the A-frame assembly and carefully lower it to the ground.
j ) Repeat steps g) through i) to remove the second A-frame assembly.
