4.3 Functions
The load is lifted or lowered by pulling one of the chain falls of the endless hand chain of the hoist. A load
pressure brake prevents automatic lowering of the load after releasing the hand chain.
In combination with hand geared trolleys, the trolley is moved to the left or to the right side by pulling the
hand chain.
In combination with push travel trolleys the trolley is moved by pushing or pulling the load or, without load, by
pulling the load chain.
NOTICE!
The best protection against functional failures in case of extreme environmental impact is the regular use of
the equipment.
4.4 Important components

Gear
Gear components are made of high-quality material.

Load pressure brake

6 Installation
6.1 Adjusting the gauge
The trolley can be adjusted to various beam flange widths. Adjustment to the relevant beam flange width “B”
depends on the type and size and is to be made as follows:
There are distance tubes (5) and/or washers
(6) situated on the load bars (2) of the trolley.
Dimension "X" is set by placing washers (6)
from the outer to the inner side ("X" increases)
or from the inner to the outer side ("X"
decreases).
Washers (6) and rubber discs (depended on
type) leave a distance for the load hook. It is
important that the load hangs in the middle
under the beam so that the two side plates are
equally loaded.
The suspension eye (9) (if existent) for bigger
load bolts must still be swivelling after it has
been secured.
Tighten the hexagon nut (3) and safety nuts (4)
again.
Check correct flange width "B" and dimension
"X". Adjustment must be repeated if necessary.

6.2 Installation on the beam
1 Tighten the hexagon nut (3) and safety nuts (4).
2 Push on the trolley at the face of the beam flange.
3 If this is not possible, the trolley can also be mounted
on the beam from below.
4 Therefore, remove the hexagon nut (3) and the safety
nut (4) on the side without gear.
5 Pull apart the side plates (1) as far until it is possible to
push the trolley onto the beam flange from below.
Afterwards, push the trolley together to correct gauge.
6 Secure the washers (6) and distance tubes (5) by
tightening the hexagon nuts (3) and the safety nuts (4).

6.2.1 Bolt securing with collar
Securing the load bolts with set collars (1) and safety
screws (3).
In order to adjust the beam flange width dismantle
the safety screws (3) at one trolley side.
After adjustment of dimension "X" and installation on
the beam, install the safety screws (3) again and
secure them with a nut (4).
When pulling apart the side plates, the trolley drive
shaft will also be moved.
To do this, loosen the safety screws at the stern tube
bearing and secure them again after the side plates
have been pushed together.

13 Service
13.1 Load chain
Wear at the links is mainly due to insufficient maintenance of the chain.
To ensure optimal lubrication of the links, the chain must be lubricated at regular intervals, depending on
usage.

Lubricate the chain with oil that creeps.

Always lubricate the chain when it is not under load so that the oil can wet the links affected by wear. It is
not sufficient to lubricate the chain from the outside, as this will not ensure the formation of a lubricating
film within the links. The adjacent link points must always be lubricated to prevent excessive wear.

If the same lifting operations are carried out constantly, the switching area from a lifting to a lowering
movement must be given special attention.

Thoroughly effected lubrication of the chain will prolong the life of the chain by approx. 20 times,
compared to dry run with unlubricated chain.

20
5.52.172.01.01.08

Wash dirty chain with petroleum or a similar cleaner, under no circumstances heat the chain.

If there are environmental influences that foster wear, such as sand, a dry lubricant should be used, e.g.
graphite powder.

When lubricating the chain’s condition of wear should be checked.
CAUTION!
Do not use grease for lubrication of load chain.
Without lubrication, manufacturer's warranty and/or liability will be void.
13.2 Pulleys
13.3 Load hook

Check bearings and pulleys yearly

Clean and lubricate the bearings of hooks and pulleys with grease

Slight bearings are maintenance free

When bearings resp. slight bearings are worn of, change the complete pulley
13.4 Gear
Regular checks of lubrication are necessary. The teeth must be cleaned and re-lubricated after approx. 3
years. We recommend to use a lubricant of class EP2 or similar products. In case of severe conditions of
use (e.g. dust, regular lifting of the nominal load,etc.), please shorten maintenance intervals.
13.5 Trolley

Trolleys are lifetime lubricated, Refill lubricant is normally not necessary.

Lubricate gear rim and pinion drive each ¼ year or if required more often, with grease.
