    2. APPENDIX A – Sequence of Work

    Weights of Components
    2.1 Climbing down Using Telescoping Cage

      Climbing Down of Tower Crane using telescoping cage


    Check crane counter jib is over the hydraulic cylinder, the jib is in line with the mast,
    1 and the hook is at cab height. Crane should be in balance. If not trolleying in and out will
    fine tune.
    2 Lock off control to prevent slew, and hoist operations.
    3 Check wind speed – must be less than 25 Km/h.

    By use of the crane hoist up a mast section on short chains, hoist hook blocks up to cab
    4
    level and position trolley at 22m radius.

    5 Double check lifting frame bolts and lugs are set correctly and remove slew ring ladder.

    6 Supervisor to use hydraulic controls on Power pack to jack tower head

    7 Check rollers and guides for fit/clearance and ease of use especially at mast joints

    Check balance by watching rollers and adjust if necessary


    Proceed to jack the crane top until the service platform is above mast, pull in the service
    8
    trolley and mast section into the C. frame and lower the section down onto the mast,
    install full shafts and pins

    Pull the service trolley out onto the service platform. lower the top of the crane onto
    9 the mast and install the 4 shafts, place the 2nd balancing section on to the service tray,
    and lift into position a 3rd section to balance, and move to correct position 22m radius

    Supervisor to check rollers, balance, and begin to climb down.


    10 Repeat the procedure for the second section and subsequent sections until the required
    sections are dismantled.

    11 Ensure that all shafts and pins are in the correct place .

    12 Re-energize crane controls into working mode. Reinstall limits and ladders

    13 Re-test the Crane .

    Balance weight and radius


    Balance Weight = 1T @ 26.3m or zero load at 46m
    Balance to be set by supervisor trolleying in or out to achieve equilibrium, the exact
    radius will depend on the hoist rope capacity stored on the hoist drum
    Removing the wire Rope
    Unballasting The Counter Jib
    Dismantling Jib with Tie Bars
    Dismantling The Counter Jib
    Dismantling the Cathead + Cab + Pivot
