General operating conditions:
• Ambient temperature ................................: -15 °C to +50 °C
• Humidity ....................................................: max. 80 % relative humidity
We recommend equipping GIS crane components operating outdoors with a protective cover to protect against the effects of the weather.
Special operating conditions can be agreed in individual cases with the manufacturer. After consultation, appropriate, optimised equipment, and
important information for safe, low-wear use can be supplied. The intended use of the crane components likewise assumes adherence to the
operating, maintenance and servicing prescribed by the manufacturer. The maximum permissible payload must take into account the weight of
the crane bridge and the additional strain brought about by the overhang load.
The crane components of the GKU series are used as end carriages for underslung standard travelling cranes. The crane components are
manufactured in accordance with the latest technical developments and recognised safety standards, and are tested for safe operation by the
manufacturer. The GKU crane components may only be used together with standard GIS trolleys. Crane components of the above series may
only be used when in an acceptable technical condition, in accordance with their intended use, by trained personnel in a safe and responsible
manner. No modifications that would impair the strength values may be made to the crane components.
