Review this entire page before installing the Self Supporting Bridge Crane.
Consult the factory in the event there are any questions or problems at the time of installation, or for
information regarding optional features not covered by the owner’s manual.
The Self Supporting Bridge Crane must be removed from the shipping wood and securely anchored to a
concrete surface before use!
• Modifications or additions to the Self Supporting Bridge Crane without prior manufacturer’s authorization
may void the Crane’s warranty. The addition of ancillary equipment to the Self Supporting Bridge Crane may
necessitate that its load capacity be reduced.
• The installation must be made so that it complies with all the regulations applicable to the machine and its
location. The end-user must verify that the supplied equipment is installed so it will be suited to the
environment in which it will be used.
• Installation must be performed by suitably trained personnel with access to the appropriate equipment. The
electrical aspects of the installation should be performed by an electrician.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a typical installation of a standard Self Supporting Bridge Crane you will need the following:
1. A fork truck or hoisting means to unload the Self Supporting Bridge Crane from the freight truck and set it
into place.
2. A smooth, level, and adequately strong concrete surface on which to mount the Self Supporting Bridge
Crane.
3. Concrete anchors, a masonry drill, a masonry bit, hand tools, grout, and steel shims. Consult the building’s
architect or facility engineer to determine the best size and type of hardware with which to anchor the
machine to the floor.
4. An appropriate power supply circuit and electrical disconnect matching the motor voltage and current
requirements. The end-user is responsible for supplying the branch circuit’s required ground fault and short-
circuit protection.
---------------------------------------
To install a standard Self Supporting Bridge Crane:
1. Anchor the frame to the floor through the 11/16” holes located in the base plates.
2. Shim and/or grout under the full length of the frame sides.
3. Make permanent connection to the power supply, using an appropriate wiring method.
4. Clean up any debris, and verify that all of the information/safety/warning labels are in good condition.
