3. Brief introduction of crane structure
QTZ50 self-elevating tower crane consists of metal structure, component driving, hydraulic jack-up,
electric control and safety protection device. Here is brief introduction of each part and their
characteristics:
3.1 overall layout
layout：：
The under-frame of whole machine is tightly fixed on special concrete foundation. Its upper part is
connected with tower body; the upper end of tower body is connected with jack-up set frame and lower
turn-table, and the surface of lower turn-table is connected with the outer ring of slewing bearing. The
rotating part fixed on the inner ring of slewing bearing includes rotary upper turn-table, tower cap,
balance arm, crane boom, trolley and hooks, counterweight, hoisting mechanism, slewing mechanism,
and cab. These components can all rotate fully to 540°around tower body axis line in their respective
horizontal plane.
The crane boom is connected with tower cap by two boom pull rods and its root is connected with upper
turn-table pin. The balance arm is connected tower cap by two boom pull rods and its root is connected
with upper turn-table pin. The hoisting mechanism is set at the rear of balance arm. The slewing
mechanism lies on the right of rotary upper turn-table and cab on the left. The trolley and hooks are
drawn by luffing mechanism close to the root of boom root, in vertical reciprocating motion along with
longitudinal axis of crane boom.

8
The height of tower body consists of heights of under-frame, standard joints, lower turn-table and upper
turn-table. Unattached height is composed of 13 standard joints(including 1 strengthened section).
When the maximum lifting height is 100 m, it is composed of 45 standard joints as well as five
attachment devices. Attached pre-burial device should be buried into the attached height position
planned beforehand so as to attach tower body to buildings by attached struts.
There are four dismountable ear plates above the standard joints of tower body in diagonal direction.
The upper parts of four slant beams are connected to ear plates and under-frame ear bases by pins. The
lift mechanism consists of two parts: jack-up set frame and hydraulic jack-up devices. The jack-up set
frame is framework spatial steel components, connected with lower turn-table by screws. At the back of it
there are jack-up cylinders and beams of hydraulic jack-up system installed. The hydraulic pumping
station lies on the set frame working platform. While jacking up, the jack-up beams act against footsteps.
With the function of cylinder, set frames together with parts above the lower turn-table elevate along axis
lines of tower body. Whenever the cylinder jacks up twice, one standard joint is introduced.

When the lifting height is no more than 30 meters, adopt the independent style; when it is more than 30

meters, adopt the attached style. While attaching, under no circumstances should the length upper

cantilever parts exceed 20 meters. In case of independent height, the standard joint number should be

13; in case of attached style, more standard joints and attached devices could be used according to the

need.

Usage height of tower crane and attached device arrangements are illustrated in Diagram One.

 Diagram 1

3.2 metal structure parts

The metal structure parts mainly include under-frame, tower body standard joints, attached devices,

slewing bearing, lower turn-table, upper turn-table, tower cap, cab, balance arm, crane boom, boom pull

rod, trolley, jack-up set frame, etc.

3.2.1 under-frame and slant beams

beams：：（see Diagram 2）

The under-frame is a crossbeam consisting of one whole beam and two half-beams. The slant beam is a

square tube with two connection plates welded at two ends. High-strength bolts or pins joint crossbeam

and four slant beams together so as to facilitate handling and transportation. The upper parts of four

slant beams are connected with four main limbs of standard joints by clamp connections. (While

10
installing the tower crane, before the jack-up set frame exceeds the height of hinge supports of standard

joint slant beams, hinge supports and slant beams are not installed to connect standard joints so as to

facilitate the installation of jack-up set frames and lower the height of whole machine installation. If the

lifting height of equipment installation is sufficient, install quadric-hinge supports and quadric-struts first

and then go on adding more joints.)

Diagram 2

3.2.2 tower body joints

joints：
：（see Diagram 3）
Tower body is composed of standard joints which are formed by group welded of angel steels with the
structure of long square space trusses. Every two standard joints of tower body are connected firmly by
Level 10.9 M27 high-strength bolts and screws. Inside each standard joint there is a ladder with the
same length so as to facilitate manipulation and maintenance personnel getting on and off tower crane.
There is one rest platform every three joints. All standard joints have interchangeability. By changing the
number of tower body standard joints installed, the crane will reach different lifting heights. Two groovy
footsteps are welded respectively on two main chords on the same side of standard joints. This position
of main chords has been strengthened. While doing jack-up work, with the expansion of jack-up cylinder,
shaft heads at two ends of jack-up beams and climbing claws of jack-up set frame fall into the footstep

11
groove successively according to the procedure, so as to make jack-up set frame elevate vertically along
with tower body. When two cycles of motion are completed, the jack-up set frame will elevate one
standard joint height. Accordingly, at this time, one standard joint could be added. Repeat motion like this
to make tower body achieve required height. When disassembling the tower crane, the reversed
procedure is adopted to lower the height of tower body step by step.

3.2.3 crane boom
boom（see Diagram 4）：The cross section of crane boom is isosceles triangle. Top chord,
tilted belly poles and horizontal tilted belly poles are all seamless steel tubes. Two bottom chords are
made of steel bars. Make sure the surface and side of bottom chords smooth and mutually vertical so
that they can also be used as operation track of trolley. The crane boom consists of eight joints and there
is no interchangeability between each joint. According to its structure features and joint method of top
chord, installation position of each boom could be located. Top chords of each joint are connected by
flanges and four M22 high-strength bolts and bottom chords by plugged pins. With little gap, the joint is
smooth so as to reduce vibration when small wheels pass.

3.2.4 turret
urret（（see Diagram 5）： The turret consists of three parts: upper turn-table, lower turn-table and
slewing tower body. The upper part of upper turn-table is welded with rectangle rotary tower body of
angle steels. The top four corners are connected to tower cap with ear plate pins. Beams at two sides
are made of channel steels, and their lower parts are fixed firmly by 28 pieces M22 high-strength bolts
and slewing bearing inner ring. The front is connected with crane boom root by pins, and the back with

12
balance arm root by pins. At the left front there is cab as well as working platform. Slewing mechanism is
installed on the two side of upper turn-table. The pinions of slewing mechanism mesh with the large gear
ring of slewing bearing. Because slewing bearing is fixed on the lower bearing, when the slewing
mechanism is started, the upper-table of tower crane and above can do slewing movement along with
tower body axis.

The lower part of slewing bearing is lower turn-table. The outer ring of slewing bearing and lower

turn-table are connected tightly together by twenty-eight pieces M22 high-strength bolts. The whole load

on the top of tower crane is transmitted to lower turn-table by slewing bearing. Four corners of lower

turn-table are welded respectively with two standard joint connection sleeves, connected to tower body

standard joint by eight M27 high-strength bolts.

3.2.5 tower cap
cap（see Diagram 6）： Tower cap is space truss structure group welded with angle steels.
Its bottom connected to rotary tower body and its top is designed with hinge supports, hinged
respectively with crane boom pull rod and balance arm pull rod. There is a platform on the upper part of
tower cap and installation personnel can install and disassembly tower body and reeve lifting wire ropes

13
on this platform. On the top of tower there is an anemometer sensor installed.

Diagram 6
3.2.6 balance arm
arm（see Diagram 7）：Balance arm is truss structural welded with angle steel and channel
steel. Hoisting mechanism is installed in the middle close to rear. At the tail of balance arm there are six
counterweights. There are walking platforms on the boom surface and at two sides of counterweights so
as to facilitate maintenance and installation.

Diagram 7

3.2.7 Cab
Cab：：Cab is frame structure with insulation material filled around. The whole cab is located at the
right front of rotary frame. At the right front is crane boom and at the left back is balance arm. The cab is
spacious and bright with broad horizons. The front windows can be open to facilitate ventilation. Inside
the cab there is manipulation seat and at its sides there is manipulation platform. Switch box is located at
the rear of manipulation seat so as to facilitate the switching on/off of power supply of electricity control

14
cabinet. Electricity control cabinet and resistance box are located at the root of balance arm and hence
convenient maintenance. Apart from lamps, there is plug inside power switch box for the purpose of
connecting power supply in case of night maintenance or lowering or raising the temperature of cab.
3.2.8 trolley
trolley：： Trolley is steel structure component that propels hooks and lifting goods in reciprocating
motion along with crane boom longitudinal axis. It has four road wheels, two at each side. The operation
track of road wheels is the bottom chord of boom. On one side of the trolley lies maintenance hanging
basket which motions together with trolley and can safely transport operation personnel to any position
of crane boom for installation or maintenance. There are regulation screws at two ends of trolley which
are used to tighten amplitude wire ropes. Meanwhile, there is rope-breaking protector to prevent trolley
out of control once its amplitude rope is broken. Also, there are anti-collapse devices at both sides of the
trolley.
3.2.9 jack-up set frame
frame：：（see Diagram 8）

The jack-up set frame consists of set frame, working platform, guidance roller, climbing pedal,

introducing platform of tower body standard joint, etc. Jack-up beams of hydraulic jack-up device is hung

on the beam at the back of set frame, and the pumping station lies on the working platform. All these

make up hydraulic jack-up mechanism.

Diagram8

Jack-up frame set lies outside tower body and is connected with four flanges of lower turn-table by
high-strength bolts via four flanges on the top. Jack-up set frame is square section space truss welded
by angle iron so as to facilitate transportation. With the function of jack-up cylinder, jack-up set frame
makes vertical motion dependent on eight guide rollers. The hinge support on the beam in the middle of
set frame is connected with cylinder by single-ear hinge so as to bear the jack-up load of cylinder. In the
middle of set frame there are two climbing pedals. When the cylinder takes back piston rod, the climbing
pedals bear the whole load on the top of tower crane.
Introducing platform is installed at the front of middle and upper part of jack-up frame. Steel plate web is
welded on the introducing platform so that introducing rollers can be inserted into standard joint
connection sleeve. When the standard joints are elevated to the height of introducing platform, put the
standard on the introducing platform so as to pull in standard joints. There are two layers of removable
working platform in the middle of set frame surrounded by guardrails so as to ensure the safety of

15
operation personnel.

3.2.10 attached devices

devices：
：（see Diagram 9）

This crane has six sets of attached devices. Each set includes a set of connection frame and three struts

of adjustable length and its function is to fix tower body onto the building so as to maintain the stability of

tower body.

The attached connection frame fixes the main chord of standard joint. And adjust struts at two corners of

tower body with one adjustment rod. Then the struts connect with building attachment points. The

horizontal load of tower body is supported by building, and hence the force condition of tower crane is

improved.

While installing the tower crane, notice the location of attachment and plan the height position of

attachment point on tower body (the attachment height could be adjusted appropriately). Because the

length of each wall-attached struts could be adjusted within some range, the distance from the center of

tower crane to building walls changes within some range. The attached frame should be installed at

places of horizontal abdomen rods of standard joints.

Diagram 10

One end of struts is connected to the building by one double-ear. Double-ear and its fixing method on the

16
building are decided by the customer, but it must satisfy the bearing requirements. (See Diagram 10).

3.2.11 bearing capacity of foundation and attachment points

points：： When installing the tower crane,

calculate the bearing capacity of attachment points and tower crane foundation of the building. Their

bearing capacity should be no less than the data listed in Table Four and Table Five.

Table 4 foundation load list

(puling)force

In the process of installing attached devices, examine lateral verticality of tower body axis by theodolite.

The overall height should be no more than 4 ／ 1000, which could be achieved by adjustment of the

length of attached struts. The three struts of each set of attachment device should be kept within the

same horizontal plane. The height of building attachment points should be the same as that of

corresponding attached hinge seat of standard joints, with error of no more than 200mm. The hinge

connection between attachment struts, attachment joints and building attachment points should be

reliable and fixed tightly by bolts. After the adjustment of strut length, tighten the adjustment screws.

Examine frequently whether those screws are loose or not in the working process. If anything abnormal

occurs, stop the machine immediately and take measures to solve the problem. The hinge seat on the

building must be double-eared. Apart from the earring assembly illustrated in Diagram 4, it must also

have the bearing capacity illustrated in Table Five.

The attachment devices of this tower crane are designed within 3.5 to 4 meters from the crane center to
building external wall. Exceed this range, special attachment should be equipped in communication with
manufacturer.
3.3 working mechanism
mechanism：： Working mechanism includes such components as hoisting mechanism,
slewing mechanism, and luffing mechanism.
3.3.1 hoisting mechanism
mechanism：（see Diagram 11）
：

17
The hoisting mechanism mainly consists of motor, brake wheel, reducer, drum, height limiter, etc. It is
installed at the back of balance arm and driven by three-speed motor. The hoisting mechanism changes
its speed via switch of control console. Thus, ideal hoisting speed and accuracy of slow emplacement
are achieved. Its high-speed lifting weight should be no more than 1.6t and medium and slow speed
lifting weight no more than 4t, controlled automatically by electrical system of FKDX multifunctional
limiter.

Diagram 12 Principle Schematic Diagram of Slewing Mechanism

The slewing mechanism mainly consists of wound-rotor motor, starting variable resistance box, hydraulic
coupling, electromagnetic brake, rotary limiter, planetary reducer, pinion and pedestal. It has compact
structure, large transmission ratio and stable starting and braking. In the working process, this
mechanism will not be influenced by bigger wind-power. Make use of the brake to keep crane boom at
accurate position. The brake has the function of location but not the function of deceleration braking.
However, in non-working state the crane boom can rotate following wind directions.
3.3.3 Trolley ing mechanism
Trolleying mechanism：（see Diagram 13）
：

18
 This mechanism is used to drive trolley to motion reciprocally along with crane boom longitudinal axis
so as to achieve the amplitude movement of hooks and lifting goods. This mechanism is installed in the
first crane boom, mainly including two-speed motor, reducer, drum and FKDX multifunctional limiter.

3.4 safety protection devices

devices：This machine is mounted with different kinds of safety protection devices

essential to tower crane, mainly including FKDX multifunctional limitator with such functions as lifting

weight, lifting moment and amplitude constraint, FKDX-G lifting height limitator, FKDX-H rotary limitator

and anemometer.

3.4.1 Structure and function of FKDX multifunctional limit er

limiter

（1）ffunction of limiting lifting weight

weight：：

Slow and medium speed lifting weight should be limited to no more than maximum lifting weight allowed

by tower crane. High speed is the descending speed of hooks without goods. The lifting weight should

be no more than 40% of maximum lifting weight, i.e. 1.6 t. It is automatically changed into medium speed

if more than 1.6 t.

function of limiting lifting moment

（2）function moment：：

Moment generated by protecting lifting goods (weight×amplitude) should be no more than lifting moment

20
allowed by tower crane. Its function is to send out alarm at 90% of rated moment and when moment

respectively arrives at rated moment but less than 110% adjusted according to lifting weight and

amplitude. Meanwhile, cut off power supply of lifting mechanism and outward amplitude of slewing

mechanism so that lifting goods can only descend but not elevate. Thus, the trolley can only operate

toward the direction of low amplitude but not the direction of high amplitude.

function of limiting amplitude displacement

（3）function displacement：：

Cut off power supply at corresponding direction of slewing mechanism so as to ensure its safe operation,

when the trolley drives to minimum or maximum amplitude,

3.4.2 FKDX-G lifting height limit

limiteer：

The function of this limiter is to make sure lifting height no more than maximum lifting height allowed by

tower crane so as to ensure the safe operation of tower crane. Installed at the end of lifting mechanism

drum axis, it is driven by drum axis. Cut off lifting power supply of lifting motor and brake when hooks

exceed the height. At this time the lifting mechanism can only descend. Each time the lifting height of

tower crane is changed, readjust the limiter.

3.4.3 FKDX-H rotary limiter

limiter：：

The function of this limiter is to make sure the rotary angles on the left and right on the top are no more

than 540°so that power cable will not be cut off.

This mechanism consists of gears, scaffold, stroke switch, etc. Located at the right front of upper

turn-table frame, its gears mesh with large gear ring of slewing bearing. When the upper part is rotating,

gears drive input axis of limiter to rotate. When slewing mechanism rotate 540°(left or right),contact

points touch with contact heads inside the limiter so that the power supply of operating direction of rotary

motor is cut off. Therefore, it can only rotate at the opposite direction but not go on rotating at the same

direction.

In the process of transporting, in order to avoid getting knocked in the process of transportation, remove

this mechanism for safekeeping in preparation for usage while installation.

3.4.4 anemometer: When the boom root is higher than 50m, anemometer should be installed on top of

tower cap. Alarming system should be installed in the cab and sent out alarm when in working state

wind level is more than six and in jack-up working more than four. At this time any working should be

stopped. (Customers can set all by themselves) The above lifting weight, lifting moment, limiting function

of working amplitude, its working principles and debug method is illustrated in detail in operation

21

device：： This device consists of hydraulic cylinder, jack-up beams and hydraulic
pumping station.（see Diagram 16）
In the process of jack-up working, first transport standard joints for installation to introducing
platform by hooks of this tower crane and then adjust balance with trolley. Drive the trolley to
balance point, remove the bolts that connect lower turn-table and standard joints and then put
axis heads at both ends of jack-up beam into the hemicycle groove. Start the pumping station to
stick out piston rod. Drive lower turn-table and parts above by set frame to lift the height of half a
standard joint, and then put climbing pedal on the footstep of standard joint. Pull back piston rod
and jack-up beam, and then put axis heads at both ends of jack-up beam into the previous
footstep groove. Lift the height of half a standard joint again. Two lifting will add one standard
joint. The tower crane removal principles are the same but the process is opposite. In the whole
process of jack-up, pay close attention to components in relative motion.

Find out whether there is resistance in between them. If there is abnormal noise or oil pressure suddenly
rises or exceeds 20Mpa, immediately stop working. Find out the problem and then proceed working after
getting rid of it.
While jacking up, connect to the power on the electricity in the process of hydraulic power transmission.

The motor drives the gear pump to rotate and pressure oil enters manual reversing valve of three unit

four passage. The oil enters hydraulic cylinder via balance valve and pushed piston rod. Pointer

pressure gauge and relief valve are installed along the oil passage so as to avoid overpressure of the

system. Once the relief valve is tightened, no random variation is allowed. Manual reversing valve is

used to change the direction of oil intake and return. Balance valve lies on the side with high pressure of

cylinder to avoid sudden shrinkage of piston rod under dead weight of upper parts when the system

suddenly stops oil supply, or automatic extension under dead weight of piston rod and jack-up beam.

3.6 electric control and manipulation system
system：：
This crane employs power supply of three-phase five-line. The power connects to electric control box in
the cab by iron-covered switch under the tower via cables. The coupled control platform in the cab sends
out signals of host order to control the operation of all mechanisms of tower crane.
3.6.1 system introduction
introduction：：The electric system consists of four parts: hoisting system, slewing system,
luffing system and hydraulic jack-up system.

3.6.1.1 hoisting system ： Hoisting system is pulled by YZTD200 L2-4/8/24-15/15/4KW three-phase

motor and takes control of different contractors respectively by operating the coupled platform so as to

change motor connection method and achieve high or low speed. When stopped, make use of hydraulic

thruster brake and the procedure of hydraulic thruster is to brake by cut off electricity.
3.6.1.2 slewing system
system：： Slewing mechanism is driven by YZR132M-6/3.7KW wound-rotor motor with
steady start-up and harmonious gear shift. Control circuit by operating switch on coupling platform so as
to achieve left and right rotation. There is an electromagnetic brake of constant open type installed in
slewing mechanism. It is used for location only when the rotation is fully stopped. Electromagnet and
slewing mechanism are controlled by electric interlocking switch so as to avoid working simultaneously.
The operating procedure of this electromagnet is electrifying brake.
3.6.1.3 trolley amplitude system ： The trolley is driven by YD100L2-4/6 2.2/1.5KW motor via

worm-gear and worm-rod reducer. Control circuit by operating switch on coupling platform to achieve

inward and outward amplitude or stop working.

3.6.1.4 hydraulic jack-up system

system：： Three-phase socket of hydraulic pumping station motor power is

prepared on the installation plate of electric box. In the process of hydraulic jack-up, connect to pumping

station power (the principles and procedures are illustrated in Item 3.5 an Diagram 16). After the

completion of jack-up, cut off the electricity in time.

3.6.2 safety devices

devices：：

3.6.2.1 There is upper limit switch on lifting height limiter. Limit maximum lifting height of tower crane by

bump block of limiter triggering stroke switch.

3.6.2.2 There are limit switches of left and right rotation on rotary limiter, so as to effectively limit tower

23
crane to rotate within 540°left and right. Hence, the cables are protected from damage.

3.6.2.3 FKDX multifunctional limit

limiteer ： This limiter has three functions: limit amplitude, weight and
moment.
There are maximum and minimum limit switches in amplitude limiter to make sure the trolley is operation
within maximum and minimum amplitude.
There are maximum and high-speed lifting weight limit switches on lifting weight limiter. When the weight
exceeds correspond lifting weight, use the switches to cut off the power of lifting motor and send out
alarm by ringing. Thus, it can only descend but not elevate. Or automatically change into
medium-speed operation from high-speed operation.

There are three switches on lifting moment limiter to control lifting motor and amplitude motor

simultaneously, i.e. 90 ％ maximum moment limit switch k1 and super moment limit switch k2 and k3

respectively adjusted by lifting weight and amplitude. When the lifting moment exceeds rated lifting

moment but within 110%, trigger limit switches and send out alarm by ringing so that the hooks can only

operate toward the direction of small amplitude and downward, but not toward the direction of large

amplitude and upward.

3.6.3 electric protection and signal devices

devices：：

3.6.3.1 over-current protection

protection：：There is auto-release in auto-power air switch DZ5-50. Electricity will

be cut off automatically when the current in the circuit is too strong.
3.6.3.2 zero position protection
protection：：When the tower crane starts to work, the operating handle of each
mechanism must be positioned at zero and press start button to pull in overall contactor, and then start
up each mechanism. Otherwise, the overall contactor will get in so as to avoid mis operation of the tower
crane.
3.6.3.3 thermal relay protection ： Heat protection devices are installed in hoisting, slewing and luffing

mechanisms to avoid overload, short circuit and other abnormal phenomena.

3.6.3.4 fuse protection

protection：： Fuses are installed in control circuit, lighting circuit and signal lamp circuit so

as to achieve short circuit and overload protection.

3.6.3.5 electric bell

bell：： In preparation of driving, notify the personnel on the site by electric bell. The electric bell

lies below the left side of cab controlled by the button on the platform. In case of overload of the crane (maximum

lifting weight, maximum lifting moment), automatically connect to the circuit and sent out alarm by ring.

3.6.3.6 There are obstruction lights respectively on top of tower crane and at the end of boom and

balance arm. According to the requirements of clients, one more search light could be installed at the

front of cab. All the switches are installed on the installation plate of electric box outside at the back of

24
cab. (According to requirements, obstruction lights and illumination lights will be installed by clients on

their own.)

4. points for attention in electric installation

installation：：

4.1 This crane employs power supply of three-phase five-line. Zero line is not connected with tower body.

The tower crane should be connected to the ground reliably by special grounding lines. Grounding

resistance should be no more than 4Ω.(Clients bury grounding lines by themselves.)

4.2 No high-low pressure wire poles and overhead wires should exist 10 meters away from the range of
the length of crane boom.

4.3 In the process of tower crane installation, measure the resistance of each main circuit and land

insulation resistance of control circuit before power on some components or power on each part of the

whole crane after the completion of installation. Make sure they are no less than 0.5MΩ. The resistance

of main crane structure, motor pedestal, metal shell of all electric equipment and grounding resistance of

conductor should be no more than 4Ω.

4.4 The main cable section of crane power should be no less than 10mm2.
4.5 When something goes wrong with electric circuits, cut off grounding power and repair according to
Electric Principle Diagram.

4.6 Periodical maintenance should be done to such electric components as contactors and air switches.

Clean the fouling at core pulling-in surface. Check whether the electric contactors are well-functioned

and whether wire-tightening bolts are loose.

4.7 In the operation process, if anything abnormal is detected, adjust and repair in time. Go on working

only when it returns to normal. Operation with faults of the machine is strictly forbidden

4.8 When the hoisting motor is functioning at a low speed, the time of full-loaded continuous

operation in each ten minutes should be no longer than two minutes.

5. installation and disassembly of the crane

more than 12t.
5.2.1 Install cross beam of under-frame

Put the assembled cross beam on the foundation. After making choice of the location, press the casting

die and pressboard and fix ground anchor bolts tightly. The horizontal flatness of four bearings is no

more than 1.5 mm.

5.2.2 When connect two well-connected standard joints with four bearings of cross beam by M27

high-strength bolts, pay attention that one side with footsteps should be vertical with the building. (Below

the side with footsteps is the back, and the opposite is the front.)

Diagram 18 Schematic Diagram of Set Frame Installation

5.2.3 Assemble the jack-up set frame and put it around the assembled two joints of tower body. Put the

climbing pins carefully on the footsteps of standard joints. Locate the hydraulic system to one side at the

back of tower body and connect temporary wires.

5.2.4 Assemble the lower turn-table, slewing bearing, upper turn-table, slewing mechanism and tower

cap and lift them onto the half-joint. Then connect them with tower body bolts. (Slewing mechanism and

tower cap can be lifted and assembled alone.) (Diagram 20) Before lifting and install tower cap,

respectively install front and back pull rod of the boom, one pull rod and one pulling rod of balance arm to

the tower cap.

 Diagram 19 Jacking frame

5.2.5 Connect cab with working platform and install onto the upper turn-table. Tighten the top screws and
set up the support so as to make the installation firm.

Diagram 20 Schematic Diagram of Parts above the Half-joint

5.2.6 Install the balance arm, hoisting mechanism, power-distribution cabinet and pull rod of balance

arm. Connect the wires of each part required and then lift the balance arm horizontally (at this time, mark

the lifting point for disassembly) and connect it with balance arm hinge joint at the back of rotary tower

body on the upper turn-table by pins. Go on lifting so that the back end of balance arm will rise to form an

angle. Then connect two pull rods of balance arm and two pull rods installed beforehand onto tower cap

by pins. Flatten the balance arm so that pull rods will bear forces.

5.2.7 Lift two counterweights, put them at the side near the hoisting mechanism, and connect the
hoisting mechanism with temporary lines. (See figure 21.)

28
 Figure 21 Installation Instruction of Balance Arm
5.2.8 Assemble and install the boom, luffing mechanism and trolley. The pull rod of the boom is installed
in the upper chord of the boom with the end fixed by iron wires.

Notice: Check carefully whether the pins of fasteners are properly used and tightly connected, and

whether the cotter pins and baffles are correctly installed in place. When approved, conduct integral

lifting horizontally, finding and marking the equilibrium position carefully for the teardown of the tower.

When being in place, link the pivot points of the boom in front of the slewing tower in the upper turntable

with pins. Then, go on lifting until the front end of the boom is up with an elevation angle of 10°～20°.

Untie the wires that has fixed the pull rod, separately connect the front and back pull rods in the boom

and the front and back pull rods installed in the tower cap in advance with pins, and then gradually set

the boom level and make the pull rods weighted. (See Figure 22.)

Figure 22 Installation Instruction of Boom

5.2.10 Lift counterweights, one piece at a time, and six pieces in total (including the two pieces have
been installed) with a total weight of 8.25 t.

5.2.11 Cut down the main power supply to complete the wiring connection of the whole machine. During

29
wiring connection, refer to the electrical schematic diagram, the electrical layout drawing and the wiring

connection drawing. After wiring connection, detect the insulation resistance of each component against

the ground according to the requirements in 4.1 and 4.3. When approved, wire up the main power supply

on the ground, install the lifting hook (with a magnification of 4) as showed in Figure 14 hoisting rope

reeving, and the rope end is tightly fixed in the arm end and the 3 rope clamps is fixed as required.

5.2.12 Lift up two standard sections and install diagonal stay (Figure 23)

a. Adjust the boom to be right ahead (with the same direction as the inlet beam) and line required

standard sections in this direction. Lift a standard section on the inlet platform and dismount the eight

M27 high strength bolts between the under turntable and the standard section. Put the shaft heads at

both ends of the lifting beam into the marching tank and upright them. Make the lifting beam close to the

tower as much as possible, and it would be better for it to be in the same plane with the longitudinal axis

of the oil tank. Start the hydraulic system and extend the piston rod for 20-30mm, making the under

turntable just separate from the standard section, then stretch the lifting hook outward from the arm heel.

The trolley stops when the clearance (about 2mm) between the four guide wheels in front of and behind

the set frame and the tower body is even more or less (The drive shall remember the equilibrium

position). Meanwhile, make the rotary electromagnetic brake work prevent the boom from swinging.

Figure 23 Lift up Two Standard Sections and Install Diagonal Stay

b. Open the climbing pedal and operate the hydraulic system, to make the piston rod continue to be

extended. When the shaft heads at both ends of the lifting beam can afford more than one step, put the

climbing pedal reliably on the step and operate the reversing valve to stop lifting up and turn it into the

pulling back of the piston rod, until the shaft heads at both ends of the lifting beam can be put into the

tank of above step. Stretch the oil tank outward again (open the climbing pedal as soon as the shaft

30
head leaves the step) until the space in the upper part of the tower body is just OK for a standard section.

Then pull the standard section at the upper end of the inlet platform into the set frame in alignment with

the eight bolt holes, and draw it back to the oil tank to make the joint faces of upper and under standard

sections touch each other, connect the two standard sections tightly with the eight M27 high strength

bolts (retightening force 250KN, and retightening force moment 1.35KN·m). Pull the inlet lifting hook to

the most outward end and to draw the oil tank back, making the under turntable fall on the newly added

standard section. Connect firmly with 4 bolts along the diagonals.

c. Start the trolley and hang the second standard section on the inlet lifting hook and repeat above

process. Tighten the eight connecting bolts between the under turntable and the tower body when the

second section is added. Then install four movable brace rods transverse upper lug at under part of the

third section. Link the four transverse brace rods to the diagonal direction between the set frame and the

tower body with upper and down pins.

So far, the tower crane has been installed and can enter operating state after debugging. Follow the

above method in case that any section needs to be added. After lifting up, lower the lifting frame to the

bottom of the tower body or the top attachment device and fix it incase of season or area of strong cloud.

During lifting up, a special person shall be sent to support the lifting beam, and both ends of the lifting

beam shall be positioned correctly in the step tank. And attention shall also be paid to the working

condition of the beam in the lifting process, stop working in case of any uncommon conditions and

handle properly for safety.

5.2.13 Debugging of Crane

a. Debugging of rotary limiter: Start the rotary mechanism and prevent the cable conductor of power

supply from knotting. Rotate the boom to the left for 180°. Adjust one contact terminal of the limiter’s

contact to make it cut down the motor circuit rotating to the left and can only rotate to the right. Then

rotate to the right for 540°. Adjust the other contact of the limiter to make it cut down the motor circuit

rotating to the right and the boom can only rotate to the left. After adjustment, repeat testing for three

times to achieve a sensitive and reliable rotating spacing to both sides, and go on adjusting until the

requirement is met.

b. Adjustment of lifting altitude limiter: Start the lifting mechanism until the minimum distance between

the top of the lifting hook and the trolley is 1m. Adjust both contact terminals of the limiter to make it cut

down the lifting motor’s upward circuits at various speed and can only go down. Lower the lifting hook for

31
3～5m and then raise again until it stops automatically. Check the minimum distance between the top of

the lifting hook and the trolley to make it ≥0.7m±10％. Repeat above operation for three times to meet

the requirements.

c. Adjustment of FKDX multi-function limiter

Adjustment of amplitude: Start the luffing mechanism, making the trolley run from the arm heel to the

arm head at high speed and then turn into low-speed running when the trolley is 5m away from the arm

head, go on running to achieve maximum rating amplitude. Adjust both contact terminals of the limiter to

cut down the forward motor circuit and can only run backward. Start the car backward for 10m and then

forward at low speed, checking whether it will stop automatically within the maximum amplitude with an

error of 2%. Repeat above operation until approved. Then debug the minimum amplitude spacing in the

same way with an error of 10%. During debugging, make sure that the distance between the front (rear)

of the trolley and the bumper block shall ≥200m when the trolley stops automatically.

Adjustment of lifting capacity limitation: Medium and high speed and a micro-motion lowering speed are

provided for the lifting mechanism. The lifting capacity at low and medium speed is the maximum rating

lifting capacity. The high speed is the falling speed with load. The lifting capacity is 40% of the maximum

rating lifting capacity. The method of fixed-yard variable-range is adopted in adjustment. Firstly, lift

maximum rating lifting capacity 4t at medium speed from 10m away, and normal lifting shall be done.

Then put the load down to the ground and add 400kg, and lifting shall not be done because of automatic

outage. Adjust the lifting capacity at high speed after the low and medium speed has been finished. Lift

1.6t at high speed and normal lifting shall be done. Then put the load down to the ground and add 160kg,

and lifting shall not be done because of automatic outage. Repeat inspecting and verifying for three

times after adjustment. Approval shall be achieved when all the requirements are met, or adjustment

shall be conducted again.

Adjustment of force moment limitation: Three limit switches and three adjustable contact terminals. Limit

switch k1 is the alarm limit switch when the force moment reaches 90% of the rating force moment. Limit

switch 2 and limit switch 3 are the limit switch when the force moments separately adjusted according to

lifting capacity and amplitude are between the rating lifting force moment and 110% of it, controlling the

lifting mechanism and luffing mechanism and making the lifting mechanism not rise but fall and the

luffing mechanism not go outward but inward. Details are listed in the operation instruction of FKDX

multi-function limiter.

32
5.2.14 Commissioning of Crane
Commissioning shall be conducted when the crane has been installed and debugged. The method and
process are as the following:

a. No-load operation: Check whether every mechanism runs normally, whether every limit switch is

sensitive and reliable (rotary limit, height limit and amplitude limit) and whether the movement of every

electrical original is correct.

b. Rating load testing: ① When α=4, and the amplitude is 48.0m, lift 0.765t; when the amplitude is

3-10.96m, lift 4t; ② Lift 4t, ring alarm when the outward amplitude is between 10.96m and 12.06m, the

trolley stops and the lifting hook can not raise. ③ When the amplitude is 48.0m, lift 0.84t, ring alarm, and

the lifting hook can not raise; ④ Lift 4t, the amplitude is less than 7m, the lifting hook raise for 5m, raise

and fall for three times to do wheels-locked testing; ⑤ Lift 4t, rotate to both sides for 3 times when the

amplitude is about 10.96m, make the trolley go back and forth for one round with the amplitude from

10.96m to 3m; ⑥ Lift 0.765t, rotate to both sides when the amplitude is about 48.0m, and make the

trolley go back and forth for one round with the amplitude from 48.0 to 3m; ⑦ Lift 0.765t, carry out the

operation of both lifting and rotating, and then the multiple operation of luffing and rotating.

5.2.15 Demounting of Tower Crane

The demounting sequence of the tower is the inverse process of installation, that is, first demount those

installed early and then demount those installed late. As the demounting is usually carried out when

construction is completed and even after long-term redundancy, problems may exist in the condition of

equipments. Hence attention shall be paid before and during demounting. Only after careful inspection

and taking measures can disassembly be conducted.

(1) Before demounting, check carefully whether every mechanism runs normally, especially the hydraulic

jack-up mechanism, whether bolts at every fastening position are complete and sound, whether pin

baffles are complete and sound, and whether main stressed members are sound. Demounting shall be

conducted only when everything is normal.

(2) Rotate the boom to the direction of the inlet beam of the standard section, making the rotary

electromagnetic brake positioned.

(3) Demount the eight bolts connecting the top standard section with the under turntable, start the

pumping station and stretch the piston rod of the oil tank. The shaft head of the lifting beam falls on the

corresponding step of the second standard section and jacks up slightly to separate the under turntable

33
from the first section. At this time, the lifting hook is running outward from the arm heel. Observe the

clearance between front and back set frame guide wheels and the tower body. The trolley stops when

the clearance is even (about 1.5-2mm). Remember the equilibrium position.

(4) Hang the inlet roller wheel in the diagonal web member of the end plane of the standard section to be

demounted, and then demount the eight connecting bolts between the first and the second sections. Go

on starting the pumping station and stretch the piston rod of the oil tank, making the interfaces of the first

and the second section separate for about 50mm, then insert the inlet roller wheel to the connecting

trepanning and regulate the position. Push the first section out of the set frame along the inlet beam and

put it on the inlet platform.

(5) Operate the reversing valve to draw the piston rod of the oil tank back, carefully open the raising

pedal and make it fall to corresponding step slowly with the set frame. Then take the lifting beam out of

the step tank and operate the reversing valve to stretch the piston rod of the oil tank outward until the

shaft heads at both ends of the lifting beam are put into next step tank and jack up for 50-100mm. Lift the

raising pedal to make the set frame continue to fall.

(6) Operate the reversing valve to draw back the piston rod of the oil tank, until the under plane of the

under turntable touches the upper plane of the second section. Penetrate and tighten one bolt of tower

body connecting at each opposite angle when the two planes meet.

(7) Put the standard section hung by the hook down to the ground, and then lift the standard section lying

on the inlet platform and drive the trolley to the equilibrium position.

(8) Demount the four connecting bolts on the lower plane of the lower turntable. Repeat the procedures

(4)-(7) to demount the standard sections one by one. Notice that when any attachment device is installed,

it shall be demounted when the demounting frame hits the standard section of the attachment device,

and it shall not be demounted earlier.

(9) When the lifting set frame falls to the place of the four diagonal stays at the bottom, first demount the

diagonal stays to lower the demounting height (also the installation height).

(10) Demount the hoisting rope and the lifting hook set, and demount the cable conductor on the boom

and the balance arm. Then disassemble the counterweight set in the counterweight chamber and

demount all the counterweights in the front counterweight chamber and one counterweight in the back

counterweight chamber. Prepare to demount the boom.

(11) Keep the hoisting point in boom installation (marked). Lift the boom with an elevation angle of

34
100-200°with a 12t vehicle. Demount the pins between the first and section sections of the front and

back pull rods separately and fix the pull rod on the boom tightly. Set level the boom slowly and demount

the arm heel pin. Put the boom to the supporting frame on the ground slowly.

(12) Lift the two counterweights remained on the balance arm. With the hoisting point in the boom

installation as the hoisting point (marked), lift the balance arm with an elevation angle of 100-200°.

Demount the pins between the first and section sections of the two pull rods separately and fix the pull

rod on the balance arm tightly. Set level the balance arm slowly and demount the arm heel pin. Put the

balance arm to the ground slowly.

(13) Demount the cable conductor connecting the driver’s cab with that of the outside. Demount the

driver’s cab, the tower cap, upper and lower turntables separately.

(14) Demount the 16 flange bolts in the lifting frame and the lower turntable. Demount the bolts in the

lower turntable and one connected standard section, then withdraw the set frame, and then demount the

strengthening section, base section, under pressure plate and under frame one by one.

5.3.18 If wind power exceeds grade 4, prohibit removing work; if it exceeds grade 6, prohibit the tower

crane working.

5.3.19 The crane must have good measure of grounding, the electric resistance for grounding can’t

exceed 10Ω.In case of thunder storm, prohibit walking around the tower reel.

5.3.20 Plenty photometric brightness must be supplied when working at night.

5.3.21 Prohibit storing inflammable and explosive materials in the drivers’ cab. Pay attention to fire

36
protection when making warm in winter.

5.3.22 Prohibit the tower crane from running in spite of illness, two professionals should be present for

solving electrical faults.

5.3.23 The tower crane’s normal working temperature range is: -20℃～40℃

5.3.24 Every time the tower crane is reinstalled, only after being redebugged according to 5.2 of this

instruction, can it be put into use.

5.3.25 If the brake of the tower crane fails during working, drivers should be calm, send out a warning

signal, transfer the heavy thing to an open and void place, and control it to fall to ground by electromotor.

Prohibit down by deadweight.

5.3.26 In case of sudden power failure when the tower crane is working, ascertain the reason first, if the

period without electricity is too long, take measures, and let the heavy thing down to ground

slowly(control the electromagnet of the arrester).

6． Service and Maintenance of the Crane

6.1 Daily maintenance: before the work, check and maintain the crane and keep a record of it.

6.1.1 Check the oil volume of each reducer. If it is below the specified amount, add new oil immediately

which should be clean, without corrosive or unclean oil. While replenishing, a filter screen should be

used,

Oil tab of each reducer: hoisting mechanism reducer: 70# industrial gear oil

Slewing mechanism reducer: 90# gear oil

Luffing mechanism reducer: 70# industrial gear oil

Notes: if there is no industrial gear oil, 40# or 30# mechanical oil can be used,

6.1.2 Check the lubricating of the drum bearing of the hoisting mechanism and the drum bearings on the

two ends of the luffing mechanism. When it is necessary, add No.2 calcium base grease to guarantee

there is oil in the oil cup.

37
6.1.3 Smear and add grease to the slewing mechanism, the big and small gear and the rotating and

rolling bearing.

6.1.4 Check whether there is damage in the cable line of the power supply and whether there are

loosening and wearing in the junction. Clear the dust of the electrical equipment.

6.1.5 Check the contact and corrosion condition of the contactor and controller.

6.1.6 Check each connecting bolts to see if they loosen or fall off. If they are, they should be fastened or

added to immediately,

6.1.7 Check the hoisting and luffing wire ropes. If the broken ones surpass 5% or the nominal diameter

wear surpass 5%, the wire ropes should be renewed. Check whether the fixing end of the wire rope is

firm and the bolts of the rope checking is loose. If there are problems, deal with them immediately.

6.1.8 Check each safety devise. If they do not work, they should be changed and repaired without delay,

especially the limitations of the moment and weight of the uplifting whose reliability should be

guaranteed.

6.1.9 Check the braking efficiency of the hoisting and the slewing mechanism. If they are not sensitive

and reliable, they should be changed in time.

6.2 Maintain regularly: once every half month and keep a record of the checking and maintaining.

6.2.1 Carry out daily maintenance.

6.2.2 Add No.4 calcium base grease to the guide pulley and the conjunction of the pull rod and the

bearing, trolley pulley, the pulley of the subassembly of hanger and the slewing bearing of the crane.

6.2.3 Because the hoisting and luffing wire ropes are prolonged after being used for a period of time, the

wire ropes as well as the limiter of the hoisting height and luffing should be re-adjusted,

6.2.4 Fasten once the connecting bolts of other components and the bolts and nuts of the wire rope

platen and rope checking. Change them when necessary.

6.2.5 The insulating properties of various electricity-consuming and electricity transmitting equipment

should be reliable without electric leakage.

6.3 Check regularly: check every half year and keep a record of problem dealing.

6.3.1 During the process of transportation and storage, the damage of metal structural components and

the deformation of structural components are not allowed. If there is damaged and wholly distorted or

deformed, the components should not be used before restoration.

6.3.2 Check every metal structures and components to see whether there are crackles in the welding

38
area and the material and whether there is corrosion in the structural components. If there are, they

should be handled timely and can not be used before repairing.

6.3.3 Replace the connecting bolts and pin rolls if they are over worn or deformed.

6.3.4 Clean each reducer and replenish them with lubricant. Dismantle and clean each rolling bearing

and clean the sliding bearings. Wnen assemble them, lubricating grease should be injected or smeared.

6.3.5 Smear lubricating grease to the slewing open gear pair.

6.3.6 Check and adjust every brake and safety devise.

6.3.7 Check, repair and change some components with relatively bigger serious wear such as small

carriers moving wheels, every pulley and covers of sliding axles and slewing mechanical small gears.

6.3.8 Check, repair and change lift and luffing wire ropes.

6.3.9 Check each controller of the electric operation, lubricate the rotating parts and polish the arc crater

of the moving and fixed contacts. Clean the grime and dust on the drill keys of each contactor and check

insulated condition of winding.

6.3.10 Check and repair various electric wires and cable lines.

6.3.11 After each project, spray and lacquer paint on every parts to avoid the corrosion of regularly used

cranes which should be painted semiannually or annually.

6.4 Service and maintenance of the hydraulic jack-up system.

6.4.1 The hydraulic oil used in the hydraulic power pack should be infused and changed according to the

specifications of the hydraulic system; the oil tanker should be cleaned regularly.

6.4.2 The pressure of the overflow valve cannot be changed at will after being adjusted. Every time

before jacking-up, the oil pressure gauge should be used to check whether the pressure is normal.

6.4.3 Regularly check whether the pipe conjunctions are tight. Oil leakage is not allowed.

6.4.4 Oil filer should be regularly checked to make sure there is no blockage wherein and no change of

the adjusted value of the pressure relief valve.

6.4.5 Once leaking of the oil pump, oil tanker and controlling valve is detected, repairing should be

promptly carried out.

6.4.6 In winter when starting the machine, it should be started and stopped repeatedly to make the oil

temperature rise and the maneuver of the controlling valve nimble before formal operation.

6.4.7 every time when starting the oil pump after the assembly and overhaul, need to check whether the

inlet and out let are connected reversely, whether the revolving direction of the electric motor is correct

39
 and whether the oil suction pipe is leaking. After that, use the hand to try to revolve it. Finally, start and
try the machine according the regulations.
