process
Fig. 47: Erecting components
Precision alignment objective

The objective behind precision alignment is to
ensure that the jib arm comes to a standstill in
every slewing position. After precision alignment, it
may be that the crane column is no longer plumb-
vertically positioned. This slightly inclined position
is not a problem!

Assembly
Using a laser levelling instrument The laser beam (Fig. 47/3) that is emitted by the laser levelling
instrument hits a horizontal reference mark (Fig. 47/1) that has to
be positioned on the lifting hook.
Once the jib arm has been slewed into a new position, the laser
beam must hit the reference mark again on the lifting hook. Other-
wise the crane column alignment has to be altered.
Performing a precision alignment
Fig. 48: Distances during precision alignment process
Distances to be maintained
During precision alignment, the following applies
for the distances:
– Position hoist on end of jib arm.
– Do not change distance (Fig. 48/1) between
centre of crane column and lifting equipment.
– Do not change distance (Fig. 48/2) between
lower edge of hoist and upper edge of lifting
hook.
