4.2.3 Handling
•฀Allocate฀a฀limited,฀suitable฀area,฀with฀a฀level฀floor฀or฀surface,฀for฀the฀unloading฀operations฀and฀setting฀down฀on฀the฀
ground of the separate parts of the steel structure and the components contained in the packing.
•฀Considering฀the฀typology฀of฀the฀part/component฀or฀the฀intended฀packing,฀allocate฀the฀necessary฀equipment฀for฀
the unloading and handling of the parts of the crane and its accessories taking into account their weight, headroom
dimensions and handling and/or suspension elements.
•฀The฀unloading฀and฀handling฀can฀be฀done฀using฀a฀crane฀(e.g.฀travelling฀cranes,฀overhead฀travelling฀cranes,฀etc.)฀or฀฀
lift trucks with an adequate lifting capacity and characteristics.
•฀ Items฀ of฀ any฀ accessories฀ with฀ a฀ weight฀ lower฀ than฀ 30฀ kg฀ (as฀ opposed฀ to฀ those฀ over฀ 30฀ kg),฀ do฀ not฀ carry฀ any฀
indication of weight and can be handled by hand.
•฀Sling฀the฀parts฀of฀the฀crane฀with฀suitable฀equipment฀so฀as฀not฀to฀damage฀the฀painted฀surfaces:฀(fig.14)
฀ •฀
For the columns use wire- or chain-staybolts with end hooks positioned in the points shown or a sling with strips
made of textile fibres and sling in a baricentric position.
฀ •฀For฀the฀brackets฀and฀the฀arms฀the฀sling฀must฀be฀used,฀using฀strips฀made฀of฀textile฀fibres,฀arranged฀in฀loops฀
corresponding to the handling points shown in the relative labelling.
•฀Carry฀out฀handling฀and฀move฀the฀parts฀of฀the฀crane฀and฀its฀accessories฀very฀carefully,฀to฀the฀zone฀allocated฀for฀
unloading and avoid oscillations, swinging and dangerous unbalancing.
•฀After฀handling,฀check฀that฀the฀parts฀and฀the฀loads฀are฀intact฀and฀that฀there฀has฀been฀no฀damage.
4.2.4 Removing the packing and checking the crane parts
•฀In฀the฀case฀of฀packed฀loads฀open฀the฀packing฀and฀take฀out฀the฀various฀parts฀by฀using฀suitable฀equipment฀according฀
to their weight and handling points.
•฀Check฀that฀all฀materials฀making฀up฀the฀supply฀are฀intact฀and฀that฀no฀parts฀or฀accessories฀are฀missing.฀Inform฀the฀
manufacturer as soon as possible of any damage or items missing.

฀ •฀there฀is฀no฀crushing,฀deformations,฀cracks฀or฀broken฀parts฀in฀the฀columns,฀the฀brackets฀and฀the฀arms.
฀ •฀there฀is฀no฀damage฀to฀the฀components฀of฀any฀related฀electrical฀system.
•฀Dispose฀of฀any฀packing฀in฀accordance฀with฀regional฀laws฀regarding฀wood,฀plastic,฀cardboard฀by฀differentiated฀฀
recycling.
•฀The฀handling฀of฀the฀parts฀of฀the฀jib฀crane฀and฀related฀accessories,฀must฀be฀carried฀out฀with฀great฀care฀
and with adequate lifting and transport means so as not to create dangers due to the risk of losing
stability.
•฀All฀parts฀or฀components฀must฀be฀set฀down฀or฀fixed฀in฀a฀stable฀way฀in฀all฀phases฀of฀handling,฀transport฀
and฀storage฀and฀they฀must฀not฀be฀tilted฀or฀laid฀down฀in฀a฀vertical฀position฀or฀on฀one฀side฀(fig฀15).
