All other cranes must be tested at 1.25 times rated load.

The load must be lifted slowly until it is just above ground level. There must be no permanent deformation or evident defects in the crane. The results of the inspection must be recorded in the crane test book. The inspector must decide whether the system may be commissioned. The organization operating the crane is responsible for remedying any defects detected during the inspection. The inspector must decide whether a further inspection is required after the defects have been remedied. Caution ! The acceptance test in accordance with this Section is not intended as a substitute for any other tests which may be required by applicable national regulations. Such tests must be conducted in addition to the acceptance test. Where national testing regulations require higher test loads than those specified in this Section for dynamic or static testing, this point must be clarified with the crane manufacturer before testing is started.

modifications to components of supporting structures including for example crane track girders, crane track supports, crane girders, trolley track girders, trolley frames, etc. changes in operating conditions including the duty cycle and the load range of the crane

5.3.3

Scheduled Inspections

The plant must be inspected by an inspector as required in view of service conditions (utilization of maximum load capacity, frequency of operation and ambient conditions. At any rate, the crane must be inspected at least once per year. For example, cranes with high operating hours which are often operated at full load capacity will need to be inspected more frequently than cranes which are used only occasionally for assembly work. In the case of occasional use, one inspection per year will be adequate. It may also be necessary to reduce the inspection interval in the case of dusty or corrosive atmospheres. Organizations operating cranes must therefore determine more frequent inspection intervals than one year taking operating conditions into account. In case of doubt, the organization operating the crane must agree on inspection intervals with the crane manufacturer. The results of these inspections must be recorded in the crane test book. The main items to be covered by scheduled inspections are as follows: inspection of the identity of the crane (comparison with the data in the test book) inspection of the condition of components and systems and inspection for any damage, wear, corrosion and other deterioration inspection of the completeness and effectiveness of safety systems and brakes inspection of the crane track, including connections and supports for hoists: determination of the used-up portion of the theoretical service life repetition of inspection after any defects relevant to safety have been remedied

5.3.2

Inspections Following Major Modifications

Following any major modifications to a crane system, the system must be inspected by an inspector before it is recommissioned. Examples of major modifications are: changes in the type of power supply replacement of trolleys conversion or modification of motors increases in the load capacity of a crane extension of a crane track movement of cranes to other crane tracks in the case of stationary crane systems welding work on load-carrying structural components design changes to supporting structures

In general, the following points must be checked by the crane operator not only before the crane is started up each day but also at the beginning of each shift and when a new crane operator starts work during a shift: Brakes Are the braking distances of the travelling gear brakes still within the range of tolerance ? For a crane in indoor service under normal operating conditions, the maximum braking distance ( in meter ) as a function of the trolley size and the maximum speed Page 30

Data : 25.04.2003

Testing the hoist brake Limit switches Does the lift limit switch cut off the lifting motion in the top hook position in good time ? This has to be checked by carefully approaching the top postion. Do the limit switches provided for the delimitation of crane and trolley travel work according to their preset functions ? Test them by means of a careful start-up. Wire ropes (for cranes with wire rope hoists) Are the wire ropes still in good condition? For more details, see the separate operating instructions for electric wire rope hoists. Slinging the load Never lift loads exceeding the weight indicated on the load plate ! When slinging loads, also make sure it is not possible for the load to accidentally topple over, break apart, slide or roll off the load while lifting it up or putting it down. Control switch The crane operator sends out his control commands through the control switch which is a vital unit and should therefore be handled with due care and attention; do not let the pendant control swing uncontrollably after use but only release it when it hangs down vertically. Buffers The crane is equipped with elastic buffers to absorb the impact when the crane runs up against the crane track end stops or collides with a neighbouring crane. Buffer impacts are special load cases which should be avoided where possible. Cranes must not be run against the end stops or other cranes intentionally as part of normal operation. The buffers themselves must be inspected regularly (at least during the regular inspection of the crane; see Section 7.1) to ensure that they are serviceable. Buffers with cracks or permanent deformation are not serviceable. How to deal with disturbances All irregularities, such as noises or unusual responses appearing during crane operation should be immediately communicated to the responsible person in order to exclude the occurrence of more serious faults. If dealt with early enough, causes of faults can be eliminated by simple means and at low cost. To avoid any risk

in case of power failure, all crane motions are reliably stopped by spring-loaded brakes engaging automatically. The crane operator, however, has to set all switches to the off-position. In hazardous situations the red Emergency Off-Button can be acuated to stop all crane driving movements immediately.

6.2

Normal Operation

Standard ABUS travelling cranes are designed for operation in enclosed buildings with normal atmospheres and normal temperatures between -5C and +40C. Temperatures may reach +50C on a shortterm basis. If a crane is required for other operating conditions, this must be stated so that the crane can be checked for operation under such conditions and appropriate action can be taken.

6.2.1

Other Operating Conditions

1. If the crane is to be operated outside the temperature range stated above, a grease or oil grade appropriate for the actual operating conditions must be used in the gearboxes of any motors. Lubricant grades for normal operating conditions are listed in Section 3.2.2 Lubricants. 2. Cranes which are to be operated wholly or partly in the open air require canopies over the motors, hoists and contactor boxes. In addition, if these operating instructions are supplied for open-air cranes, a special sheet stating maximum wind loads and the maximum time before shut-down is attached. In such cases, the operating instructions have a red sticker on the cover. If the maximum wind load for crane operation is exceeded, appropriate action must be taken to ensure that the crane is not exposed to excessive wind load during operation. The crane may be driven into the building or, where this is not possible, secured against movement by an appropriate device ( e.g. a wind lock). 3. ABUS cranes are not suitable for conditions where they may be exposed to explosive or corrosive substances. 4. Crane service in humid atmospheres (e.g. in paper mills) 5. Crane service with skirt entry or strip curtain. 6. Handling of molten substances 7. Magnet operation 8. Guided load

_________________________________

Maintenance
crane test book. It is recommended that the crane should be maintained at least as frequently as it is inspected. Operation in shifts affects both inspection and maintenance intervals. Page 31

The crane must be inspected by an expert inspector at regular intervals determined in accordance with the operating and service conditions of the crane. Such inspections must be carried out at least once per year. The results of all inspections must be recorded in the A 543.GB

Crane trolley wheel bearings and crane motor gearboxes have permanent lubrication and do not require any maintenance. Hoists must be maintained in accordance with the appropriate hoist operating instructions. During maintenance, any excessively worn or faulty parts must be replaced. For safe and reliable operation, it is essential to use only genuine ABUS parts when replacing any components. It is expressly stated that ABUS will only accept any warranty claims if only genuine ABUS parts have been used. Irrespective of these requirements, the following maintenance schedule applies to the entire crane. The maintenance intervals stated are based on single shift operation in accordance with DIN 15020, with a 1AM FEM group. In more difficult conditions, more frequent maintenance will be necessary. In accordance with section 1 of DIN 4132, the standard applicable to crane tracks, any organization operating a crane must inspect the crane track including supports and connections for incipient cracks at regular intervals which must be determined having due regard to the intensity of crane operation.

These inspections should be carried out at the same intervals as the inspections required by the accident prevention regulations. The results of the inspections must be recorded. ABUS specialists will be pleased to assume responsibility for this maintenance work for you. Our experts are experienced in maintenance and have the right tools with them. Any worn parts are available either immediately or within a very short time. Maintenance work may be performed by ABUS specialists either on the basis of individual orders or within the framework of a maintenance contract. Taking into account the installation, operation and maintenance instructions, the hoist class and the load class of the crane, it can be assumed that the theoretical service life of the crane supporting structure is approx. 20 years. Safe operation within this period is only possible if the crane is used within the conditions for its class. The hoist class and load class of the crane are stated in the data sheet in the crane test book. When the theoretical service life has expired, the action required for continued operation of the crane must be agreed with the crane manufacturer.

The brakes of the drives are electro-magnetic disk brakes. In order to guarantee a safe release, the brakes are equipped with an air gap limiter. The optimum air gap width (a) is 0.40,05 mm. With increasing wear of the brake lining, the air gap also becomes wider and must thus be regularly checked and re-adjusted to achieve its optimum value (a)=0.40,05 mm. This value assures optimum brake performance and minimum wear. If the minimum thickness of 2 mm of the brake lining has been reached, the brake lifter wing with brake lining as well as the anchor disk must be exchanged. The difference between the clearance on the left and right brakes must not exceed 0,1 mm. Caution ! All work on the brakes must be performed by specialists.

All motors have permanent lubrication suitable for normal operating conditions (see Section 6.2 Normal Operation). It is only necessary to change the lubricant if the crane system is overhauled. Under abnormal operating conditions, it may be necessary to change the lubricant at appropriate intervals. To change the lubricant on crane travel motors, the gearbox must first be removed and the gearbox components and housing must be cleaned using suitable proprietary cleaning compounds. The gearbox must then be filled with the new lubricant and closed. Lubricant quantities and grades are given in the table in Section 3.2.2.1 Lubricants Used in Crane Travel Drives.
