(Chapter 1) - TECHNICAL FEATURES
1.1 - GENERAL
In order to work, the lorry crane must be installed on a vehicle and, from this vehicle,
take the mechanical power it needs. It follows that the correct performance and
safety of the system depend on the installation.
It is important to note that the capacities given on the plate that is located on the
crane are intended for lifting operations carried out with hook, pallets fork and
buckets for loose material or any other device that doesn’t build up other tensions on
the structure the those of the hook itself.
Lifting capacities are calculated for a crane servicing the vehicle on which it is
installed.
The use of the crane with the given lifting capacities is not permitted when the crane
is equipped with: buckets, hearth moving, magnets or any other equipment that can
cause to the crane stresses similar to those caused by the, here mentioned, devices.
Crane can not be used in explosive environment.
The crane is equipped with lifting eyes that make it possible to lift the crane by
respecting the gravity centre (picture 1). The crane shall be lifted with a proper lifting
beam equipped with chains and shakels in proportion with the crane weight.
The lifting points can bear the crane weight
only.
