4.2.3 Handling
To move the jib crane, proceed as follows:
•
Prepare a limited and adequate area, with flat flooring or ground, for unloading and placing the bulk
metalwork parts and components contained in the packaging on the ground.
•
Based on the type of part/component or the packaging, prepare the equipment necessary for
unloading and handling of the crane parts and its accessories taking into account their weight,
overall dimensions and gripping and/or suspension elements.
•
Unloading and handling may be performed by crane (e.g. mobile cranes, bridge cranes, etc.) or
forklifts, with adequate capacity and characteristics and the use of special equipment is not
required.
•
The parcels of any accessories with a weight less than 30 kg (unlike those with a weight greater
than 30 kg) do not show any indication of their weight and can be handled by hand.
•
Sling the crane parts with suitable equipment in order not to damage the painted surfaces. (fig. 15)
o
for columns and arms use stay bolts with rope or chain with end hooks positioned in the
indicated points or slings with a textile fibre band and “loop” in a barycentric position or in
the indicated lifting points.
•
Very carefully grip and move the crane parts and its accessories to the area set up for unloading
and avoid swinging, tilting and any dangerous unbalancing.
•
When they have been moved check that the parts and parcels are intact and free from damage.
•
Moving of the jib crane parts and relative accessories must be done very
carefully and with adequate lifting and transport means, in order not to generate
hazards due to the risk of a loss of stability.
•
All of the parts or components must be placed or fixed stably in all phases or
the movement, transport and storage phases and must not be flipped over or
placed vertically or on their sides (fig. 16).
