There are a number of ways to mount the GF-8 on track:
·
The crane can be assembled on track
·
By using the 4 levelling legs, the assembled and balanced crane can be cranked
upwards to allow the track to be placed under the base and already mounted track
wheels. The base can then be carefully lowered by cranking the 4 levelling legs
simultaneously downwards.
Note: ensure that the track wheels are parallel to the track.
·
The assembled and balanced crane can be rolled onto the track by using the GFM
Starter Ramp. To do so remove the levelling legs and ensure that the track wheels are
aligned with the track.
Moving the crane onto the track should be carried out by at least 3 operators. It is
essential to make sure that the track underlay cannot move or shift.
