ONLY COMPETENT ERECTION PERSONNEL FAMILIAR WITH STANDARD FABRICATION PRACTICES
SHOULD BE EMPLOYED TO ASSEMBLE HANDLING SYSTEMS CRANES BECAUSE OF NECESSITY IN
INTERPRETING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. HANDLING SYSTEMS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR QUALITY
OF WORKMANSHIP PERFORMED DURING CRANE INSTALLATION.
WARNING
ALL HANDLING SYSTEMS EQUIPMENT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR OR MADE FOR TRANSPORTING HU-
MANS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS STATED IN THIS CRANE MAN-
UAL CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH. PLEASE TAKE ALL NECESSARY
PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION.
WARNING
CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED STRUCTURAL ENGINEERED TO DETERMINE IF YOUR SUPPORT
STRUCTURE IS ADEQUATE TO SUPPORT THE LOADS GENERATED BY ANCHOR BOLT FORCE,
OVERTURNING MOMENT, OR AXIAL LOAD OF YOUR CRANE.
WARNING
CRANE CANNOT BE UTILIZED AS A GROUND: A SEPARATE GROUND WIRE IS REQUIRED.
WARNING
DO NOT MODIFY CRANE IN ANY WAY. ANY ALTERATIONS DONE IN THE FIELD WITHOUT CONSENT
FROM HANDLING SYSTEMS WILL VOID ALL WARRANTY.
WARNING

Crane Terms
Anchor Bolts: Large steel bolts used to mount a base mounted pillar jib crane to the H.S.I. recommended foun-
dation.
Boom: The horizontal beam on which the hoist trolley travels.
Fitting Centers: The distance, centerline to centerline, between two support brackets (fittings) of a wall mounted
jib crane.
Capacity: The maximum live weight that the crane is designed to support.
End Stops: Bolted to each end of the boom to prevent the trolley from falling off of the beam.
Foundation: For free standing pillar base mounted jibs. Foundations are used to support the jib and prevent it
from tipping over.
Gussets: Reinforcing plates used to stiffen mast at the base plate.
Head: Houses the roller, and lowers the crushing forces that are imposed on the mast.
Height Under the Boom (H.U.B.): The distance from the finished floor to the underside of the crane boom. To
find the under- boom, take the height of the load, plus the distance the load is lifted, plus the headroom require-
ments of the hoist/trolley and any attachments. Extra room aside from mandatory room needed could be helpful.
Mast: The vertical member of the jib, which supports the crane. Pillar jibs have round pipes as masts.
Overall Height: The highest point of the jib crane (including any hardware). A minimum clearance (usually 3”) is
required from any overhead obstruction.
Hoist: The actual lifting mechanism (powered by electric, air, or manual movement) that hangs from the trolley
that rides on the boom of a jib crane.
Trolley: The mechanism that travels back and forth on the crane boom (powered by electric, air, or manual
movement) which the hoist hangs from.
Overturning Moment: The overturning moment is the force applied to the mounting structure of a sefl-support-
ing pillar jib. This load is created by suspending a load from the boom, and is greatest at full load, at the very end
of the boom.
Rotation Stops: Limits the rotation of a pillar base mounted jib crane boom (which are standard at 360°). Stops
are field welded to the mast.
Span: The span for a pillar base mounted jib crane is the distance from the center of the mast to the end of the
boom. The span for a column mounted crane is measured from the face of the mounting surface to the end of the
boom. The span for a mast type jib crane is measured from the center of the vertical mast to the end of the
boom.
Thrust and Pull: Thrust and Pull are forces applied to a wall/column mounted jib cranes support structure. Thrust
is the pushing force exerted on the structure, and pull is the tensile, or pulling force. Thrust and Pull are equal to
each other (but opposite in direction), and are given for maximum at full load at the end of the boom.
Clear Span: The measurement between the end stops on a crane boom.
Hook Travel: The distance that the hook on the hoist travels.
In order to better understand jib cranes, here are the commonly used terms that are used to specify and design jibs.

Pre-Installation
1. Check crane for physical damage due to shipping.
2. Prior to assembly make sure all capacity stickers and warning labels are clearly visible and
properly affixed.
3. Check packing list to ensure no parts have been lost prior to initiating assembly of crane.
4. See Crane Drawing for bolt locations and dimensions.
5. Read entire manual before installing the crane.
6. WARNING Do not assemble/disassemble without proper lifting equipment.
7. Identify crane model (511 = fixed height, 512 = adjustable height). Reference Crane Drawing.
Find the applicable assembly instructions on Page 6 or Page 8 based on your crane model
type.
8. CAUTION Figures are for reference only and may differ for your particular application. Refer-
ence Crane Drawing included with crane information packet for specific information.
Installation
WARNING If multiple cranes were ordered, locate stamped serial number on each crane part for
proper part matching during installation. Although crane parts may appear to be identical, each crane
is assembled and built separately. All parts that do not have the same stamped serial number may
not line up properly for installation.
For Model 511 (Fixed Height Gantry):
1. Reference Figure 1 for general assembly layout.
2. Bolt two (2) CASTER WHEELS to each LEG ASSEMBLY using BOLTS, LOCK WASHERS,
AND NUTS provided and make sure that all fasteners are securely tightened (see Figure 2). If
applicable, attach optional swivel locks or wheel locks (see Page 9).
3. Secure span BEAM to the top of each LEG ASSEMBLY with the provided BOLTS, NUTS,
LOCK WASHERS, and (if applicable) BEVELED WASHERS (see Figure 3).
4. WARNING Do not operate or move crane without all fasteners and hardware in place and
properly secured. See Table 1 for torque specifications.
5. Install END STOPS onto BEAM using the hardware provided.
6. For units with Tight Wire Kit, refer to Page 10.

For Model 512 & 582 (Adjustable Height Gantry):
1. Reference Figure 4 general assembly layout.
2. Bolt two (2) CASTER WHEELS to each LEG ASSEMBLY using BOLTS, LOCK WASHERS,
AND NUTS provided and make sure that all fasteners are securely tightened (see Figure 2). If
applicable, attach optional swivel locks or wheel locks (see Page 9).
3. Secure BEAM for fastening to LEG ASSEMBLY. Loosen BOLTS on leg assembly TOP
PLATE. Slide BEAM under PLATES on both sides of LEG ASSEMBLY. Once complete, be
sure to tighten all bolts securely. Repeat step for attaching other LEG ASSEMBLY to other end
of BEAM (See Figure 5).
4. To obtain desired height, remove PINS (shipped in place at bottom-hole position) and lift to
desired height. Reinstall PIN and COTTER PIN securely.
5. WARNING Do not operate or move crane without all pins, fasteners and hardware in place
and properly secured. See Table 1 for torque specifications.
6. If applicable, install END STOPS onto BEAM (see Figure 1 for End Stops).
7. For units with Tight Wire Kit, refer to Page 10.

Swivel Lock Assembly
1. Refer to Figure 6.
2. Attach the SWIVEL LOCK to each caster
wheel using the BOLTS, LOCK WASH-
ERS, and NUTS provided.
3. Pull on the PIN RING and rotate the
WHEEL to the desired PIN HOLE posi-
tion.
4. Release the PIN RING so that the LOCK-
ING PIN goes into the desired PIN
HOLE.
5. Ensure that the LOCKING PIN is in en-
gaged in the PIN HOLE.
Wheel Lock Assembly
1. Refer to Figure 7
2. Center SPANNER into WHEEL ASSEMBLY.
3. Place BRAKE SHOE over SPANNER and WASHER 1.
4. Position WHEEL between LEGS and insert BOLT through one side of CASTER to opposite
side.
5. Position WASHER 2 over protruding thread at the end of BOLT.
6. Position BRAKE LEVER over BOLT and against WASHER 2.
7. Position WASHER 3 and LOCK NUT over BOLT.
8. With BRAKE LEVEL in horizontal position, tighten LOCK NUT until wheel rotation is impeded.
9. Rotate LOCK NUT counter clockwise by ¼ turn increments until the WHEEL rotates freely with
the BRAKE LEVEL in a horizontal position.
10.Ensure proper operation. WHEEL must turn freely with BRAKE LEVER in “off” position
(horizontal). WHEEL must be locked with BRAKE LEVER in “on” position (rotated from hori-
zontal).
