4.3 LONG TRAVEL GEAR ACCESSORIES (cont’d)


4.3.2 Storm Anchors (cont’d)

IMPORTANT

When the crane is “out of operation,” it is most important that all crane anchors are properly in their ground sockets and left in this position until the crane is put “into operation” again. This procedure will prevent the crane from being blown along the tracks which could cause collapse of the crane.


4.3.3 Buffers

The crane corners and the four crane end-stops are fitted with hydraulic buffers. These must always be kept in proper alignment, their binding bolts properly tightened. The moving parts should always be kept clean and free from any rust or grime.
