A-Series Aluminum Gantry Crane ii
SPANCO GANTRY CRANE CONDITIONS OF USE AND WARNINGS STATEMENT
20. Do not stand under the gantry when it is being adjusted in height, span, or caster frame spread.
21. Do not stand or walk under a suspended load.
22. Caster frame spread must be a minimum of 40 percent of the overall height (T-Series only).
23. Adjustments and repairs must be made in an area that does not interfere with operation.
24. Do not load the gantry on an incline or move a loaded gantry onto an inclined surface.
25. Do not allow the load to swing or roll against the gantry support members.
26. Do not allow the hoist trolley to strike the end stops or gantry supports at any time.
27. The system must be tied down if exposed to winds exceeding 30 miles per hour. Spanco considers it an unsafe practice
to operate cranes in winds over 15 miles per hour. Although the drive may work in speeds exceeding 15 miles per
hour, Spanco does not recommend using any crane in winds over 15 miles per hour for safety reasons. If quoted
for a pre-defined wind speed, the drive components have been designed for an approximate wind speed. It is the
responsibility of others to generate a risk assessment of wind conditions and part stability, and to generate a lifting plan
that accounts for the sail effect of the part being lifted and the length of the cable the part is suspended on. Notify
Spanco if the system will be subjected to constant buffeting winds.
28. Although Spanco may provide components that are intended for service in a specific environment, it is the customer’s
responsibility to confirm that the provided Spanco system and components will work in and are acceptable for their
specific application and environment.
29. Before each use, inspect the system for bent, broken, cracked, or missing components.
30. Thoroughly inspect the system annually per OSHA law.
31. Per OSHA law, load testing must be performed before the system can be placed into service.
32. Engineering of any attachment points must be done by others.
33. Component appearances and dimensions shown are approximate and subject to change without notice. All literature
dimensions are developed using standard components for the spans and capacities. Substitution of optional trolleys or
other components will affect certain dimensions.
34. Never deviate from the above unless you have written permission and authorization from Spanco.
