    ERECTION PROCESS
    Strutting Of Tower Cranes
    • If the height of tower crane exceed the free-standing
    height as recommended by the manufacture, strutting
    has to be done in regular interval as per manufacture’s
    specifications.

    • Strutting should be designed for the following forces : -

    – Torsion / Twisting couple due to slewing operation


    – Bending moment from main jib/counter jib
    – Wind load on the mast
     Tower crane foundation should be done in consultation
    with CMPC engineer to suit the site conditions.
    Tower crane should not be erected near LT/HT lines
     Swing radius (Jib length) should be free from any
    obstruction
     The relative level of the rails should be closely
    monitored using leveling instrument/tube level, incase
    of tower crane erected near to excavation edge
    Recommended Operating Procedures
     UNAUTHORISED PERSONS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO
    BOARD THE CRANE

     ENSURE THAT ONLY TRAINED OPERATOR SHOULD BE


    ALLOWED TO OPERATE THE CRANE.

     THE OPERATOR SHOULD BE WELL VERSED WITH THE


    OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OF THE
    TOWER CRANE.

     THE CRANE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WHEN THE WIND


    SPEED IS MORE THAN 72 Km/Hr.

     ALL THE LIMIT SWITCHES AND SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD


    BE INSTALLED BEFORE COMMISIONING THE CRANE
    Recommended Operating Procedures
    Tower crane should be earthen properly

    It is forbidden to pull loads at an angle, drag them


    across the ground or use the crane to dislodge
    loads which have stuck fast

    When lowering, do not allow the load hook to drop


    heavily on the load or the ground. This will cause
    slack rope, and hoisting rope will then no longer
    wind properly on to the drum
