INSTRUCTIONS JIB CRANE SERIES GBA - GBP
MAN05MGO5
2.1.1 Intended use - Foreseen use - Designated use
The jib cranes
, manually rotated,in GBA series column-mounted model or GBP series wall-mounted model, are
produced to move goods within the plant.
The jib cranes
have three functions:
•
lifting
a load vertically, by means of the hook of the lifting block, generally made of a manual or electric chain hoist
and using the appropriate accessories for such an operation;
•
moving
a load with the aid of an electric or manual trolley which runs along the radial axis of the crane jib;
•
rotating
a load, around the constraint axis of the jib, by manually pushing the load, in the circular area below,
delineated by the rotation radius of the jib.
2.1.2 Constraints when installing
The GBA column-mounted jib cranes
are intended to be fixed to the ground, the column is self-supporting and can
be fixed to the ground using log bolts, on a foundation plinth or in special cases having checked suitability, also with
screw anchors or dowelling.
The GBP wall-mounted jib cranes
are intended to be fixed to an existing structure (columns, walls, machine
casing,etc), using a system of brackets and staybolts, either with fixing screws or, subject to a check, with screw
anchors or dowelling.
2.1.3 The composition of the jib cranes
The composition of the jib crane is relatively simple, both in the column-mounted version and the wall-mounted one.
Both have a steel structure, the lifting block made up of a chain hoist (electric or manual), the translation unit formed
by a hoist-carrying trolley (electric or push-trolley), a series of accessories ( support brackets, staybolts, foundation
plinth,electric unit, etc.).
The
GBA column-mounted
jib crane consists of a tubular column with polygonal section fixed using log bolts or
bolts at the base of appropriate size and an arm which rotates round the axis of the column itself.
The
GBP wall-mounted
jib crane consists of a bracket support structure which is bolted on the support structure
(fixed to the wall or anchored to a column) and an arm which rotates around an axis on the support bracket.
Both versions are equipped, in most cases, with a chain hoist, fitted with a trolley.
