9. PREPERATIONS

# Material handling equipments and all tools including special tools (if any).
# Measuring instruments like measuring tape, leveling tube etc.
# Site / area released for crane erection.

10. ASSEMBLY (ERECTION) INSTRUCTIONS

The crane should be on an unoccupied floor where no industrial or construction work is to be

carried out during mounting. The size of the floor must ensure free and convenient handling of
the crane during the mounting procedure, i.e. setting the crane in mounting position on the
floor, turning the suspended crane etc.

1) Check the leveling & alignment of the Long Travel Rail installed by the client.

2) Place the End Carriage Assemblies on the Rail Track on both side of span & hold it with
packing on both side.

3) Tie the 2 no. end carriages on one side of the rail by means of supplied Sill members.

4) Repeat point no. 3 for the other side also.

5) Place both the Bridge Girders on these Sills between the Leg Joints.
