SPANCO GANTRY CRANE CONDITIONS OF USE AND WARNINGS STATEMENT

1. Read, understand, and follow the manual, assembly drawings, and warnings provided with your system before

beginning installation, use, or disassembly. Follow all instructions carefully.

2. This manual, and any other instructions, must be provided to the user(s) of this equipment. The user(s) must understand

the equipment’s proper use and limitations.

3. This crane is engineered to accommodate a standard hoist and a standard hoist weight. The standard hoist weight is

calculated at 15 percent of the crane’s rated capacity. Please inform Spanco if hoist weight exceeds 15 percent of the

crane’s rated capacity, or if the lifting speed exceeds 50 FPM.

4. Motorized trolley travel is available for PF-Series and T-Series Gantry Cranes.

5. ”Sidewinder” hoists or low headroom hoists with motors that are parallel to the beam can potentially impart large

torques (twisting moments) to the beam that can cause beam twisting and oscillations. Hoist inverter controls are heavily

recommended for all “sidewinder” hoists or low headroom hoists with motors that are parallel to the beam installed on

beam lengths over 12 feet.

NOTE: To eliminate any form of beam oscillation, use only an inverter controlled hoist of this type.

6. Power Drive options for motorized gantry travel are available for PF-Series Gantry Cranes only. Review Power Drive

installation instructions in the separate Power Drive instruction manual.

7. Each component and system must be employed and maintained in accordance with all OSHA and ANSI standards.

8. Use a hoist with the same or lower capacity rating as the gantry crane. Do not lift more than the rated crane capacity.

9. The rated capacity is displayed on a label on the Spanco system. Exceeding the capacities displayed on this label can

result in serious injury or death.

10. There should never be any type of loading past the end stops for any reason.

11. Never apply an off-plumb load to the system.

12. Always check for overhead hazards, such as power lines, trees, equipment, overhead structures, or walls, before using or

moving a portable system.

13. Never use this system as fall protection or for lifting, hoisting, or carrying personnel.

14. When moving the gantry under load, keep the load in the center of the beam and as close to the ground as possible.

15. Before moving the gantry under load, remove any obstacles and ensure that the load is not attached to the ﬂoor.

16. Spanco Gantry Cranes are designed to be moved manually. Do not push or pull the gantry with a lift truck or other

vehicle.

17. When moving a gantry crane under load, push the gantry; do not push or pull the suspended load.

18. Never exceed two people pushing an Aluminum gantry crane.

19. Do not disassemble the gantry or adjust the height, span, or caster frame spread (if applicable) when the gantry is under

load.

SPANCO GANTRY CRANE CONDITIONS OF USE AND WARNINGS STATEMENT

20. Do not stand under the gantry when it is being adjusted in height, span, or caster frame spread.

21. Do not stand or walk under a suspended load.

22. Caster frame spread must be a minimum of 40 percent of the overall height (T-Series only).

23. Adjustments and repairs must be made in an area that does not interfere with operation.

24. Do not load the gantry on an incline or move a loaded gantry onto an inclined surface.

25. Do not allow the load to swing or roll against the gantry support members.

26. Do not allow the hoist trolley to strike the end stops or gantry supports at any time.

27. The system must be tied down if exposed to winds exceeding 30 miles per hour. Spanco considers it an unsafe practice

to operate cranes in winds over 15 miles per hour. Although the drive may work in speeds exceeding 15 miles per

hour, Spanco does not recommend using any crane in winds over 15 miles per hour for safety reasons. If quoted

for a pre-deﬁned wind speed, the drive components have been designed for an approximate wind speed. It is the

responsibility of others to generate a risk assessment of wind conditions and part stability, and to generate a lifting plan

that accounts for the sail effect of the part being lifted and the length of the cable the part is suspended on. Notify

Spanco if the system will be subjected to constant buffeting winds.

28. Although Spanco may provide components that are intended for service in a speciﬁc environment, it is the customer’s

responsibility to conﬁrm that the provided Spanco system and components will work in and are acceptable for their

speciﬁc application and environment.

29. Before each use, inspect the system for bent, broken, cracked, or missing components.

30. Thoroughly inspect the system annually per OSHA law.

31. Per OSHA law, load testing must be performed before the system can be placed into service.

32. Engineering of any attachment points must be done by others.

33. Component appearances and dimensions shown are approximate and subject to change without notice. All literature

dimensions are developed using standard components for the spans and capacities. Substitution of optional trolleys or

other components will affect certain dimensions.

34. Never deviate from the above unless you have written permission and authorization from Spanco.
