GENERAL INFORMATION
General Description of the SPYDERCRANE PC094
What the PC094 IS
The SPYDERCRANE PC094 is designated as a Pick-and-Carry Crane (PCC) with
a hydraulically telescoping boom. The PC094 is designed specically to be able to
travel under its own power (travel), pick up and maneuver an aached load
vertically and horizontally, and travel with an aached load.
The PC094 is designed to be traveled on improved, reinforced surfaces and in
structures like warehouses and mechanical spaces. The travel drive system is
expressly designed for smooth, safe travel over hard, smooth surfaces. The
dimensions of the PC094 are kept as narrow as possible to facilitate its use in
tight spaces and busy environments.
The charging system is supplied by 120VAC and the operating system is a
12VDC and 48VDC baery-electric. The PC094 is designed to be zero-emission
and low-noise. The power system of the PC094 is perfect for enclosed structures
with limited ventilation.
The baery array of the PC094 is capable of running the PC094 for several hours,
but it needs to be recharged daily- AT LEAST- to maintain a sucient level-of-
charge in the baery array and to maintain the health of the individual baeries.
What the PC094 IS NOT
The SPYDERCRANE PC094 IS NOT designed for o-road or all-terrain use. The
PC094 has very limited travel angle (surface grade) limits and its use should be
limited to spaces with leveled and improved surfaces.
The PC094 is also NOT a tractor. While designed to be traveled with a load
aached to its boom, the PC094 should only carry loads that are suspended from
its hook block, or resting on its front fender. The PC094 should NEVER be used
to drag loads, either by its travel drive system, or its winch.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Theory of Operation
Electrical Power
The SPYDERCRANE PC094 is powered by its Baery Array. The PC094 Baery
Array includes four Lifeline GPL-4DL Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) baeries,
arrayed into two banks, one on either side of the PC094’s carrier. The baery
array is managed by an onboard charging and maintenance system.
Hydraulic Power
The SPYDERCRANE PC094’s traveling and lifting functions are actuated by
hydraulic power. For the PC094, hydraulic oil pressure is maintained by a 3
gallons-per-minute gear pump.
Telescoping Boom
The telescoping boom of the SPYDERCRANE PC094 is composed of four
individual boom sections that are nested in size and aached to hydraulic
cylinders so that they can be telescoped in and out, to increase or decrease the
overall length of the boom.
Traveling (self-propulsion)
To move the entire PC094 under its own power is to travel it. Forward and
reverse travel is provided by the two front drive wheels. Steering is provided by
the rear steering wheel. The hydraulic system that powers both movement and
steering is hydrostatic in nature; unless hydraulic power is applied by the
operator, the two drive wheels will not move and will automatically brake.
Operating Environment
The SPYDERCRANE PC094 is designed to be operated in temperature range of
40° to 105°, F; and can be safely stored in areas where the temperature is up to
115°, F. For optimum baery life, it is recommended that you the PC094 when
temperatures are between 60° and 95°, F.

16
GENERAL INFORMATION
Operator Aids
Anti-Two-Block System
The Anti-Two-Block (A2B) System is designed to prevent the Operator
from damaging the PC094 by allowing the hook block to impact the boom tip of
the PC094.
Without the A2B System, if the PC094 Operator WINCHES UP, or if the
operator BOOMS OUT without WINCHING DOWN, the hook block will rise
until it impacts the tip of the PC094’s boom, possibly causing damage.
The A2B System is composed of the A2B Switch and A2B Weight.
The A2B Switch is a spring loaded lever connected to a limit switch. Left
alone, the A2B Switch will spring into the OPEN position, which activates the
A2B System and disables the BOOM OUT, WINCH UP, and BOOM DOWN
functions of the PC094.
The A2B Weight is a round block of steel that is aached to the end of the
A2B Switch and pulls it into the CLOSED position, deactivating the A2B System
and allowing full crane functionality. The A2B Weight is aached around the
wire rope that holds the hook block. If the hook block rises to the point that it hits
and lifts the A2B Weight, the A2B Switch will spring OPEN.
Boom Length Sensor
The Boom Length Sensor measures the exact length of the boom as part of
the working radius calculation that determines the PC094’s rated load capacity.
The Boom Length Sensor also helps the PC094 to index the correct lifting prole,
based on two specic length seings: whether the boom is in Stage 1 or 2, or if it
is in Stage 3 or 4
Capacity Limiting System (CLS)
The Capacity Limiting System (CLS) is the combination of the boom
length, lift cylinder pressure, and A2B System to prevent the SPYDERCRANE
PC094 from being overloaded.
The CLS is NOT designed to replace the PC094 Operator’s responsibility
for knowing his crane’s loading and traveling limits.
Lifting Prole
The Lifting Prole is an internal function of the PC094 that is part of the
CLS. The PC094 contains three discrete proles and it indexes one as the active

17
proles depending on the PC094’s Boom Stage and Stabilizer status (STORED/
EXTENDED):
The Heavy-Weight (HW) Prole is indexed when the Stabilizers are
EXTENDED, and the Boom Stage is 1 OR 2.
The Medium-Weight (MW) Prole is indexed when the Stabilizers are
STORED, and the Boom Stage is 1 OR 2.
The Light-Weight (LW) Prole is indexed when the Stabilizers are
EXTENDED, and the Boom Stage is 3 or 4.
If the Stabilizers are STORED and the Boom Stage is 3 or 4, NO Prole will
be indexed and the PRCI (See Percentage of Rated Capacity Indicator) will light
up red.
Percentage of Rated Capacity Indicator (PRCI)
The Percentage of Rated Capacity Indicator (PRCI) is a three-color LED,
viewable from the Operator’s Station that indicates the PC094’s Percentage of
Rated Capacity, or a percentage of the actual weight suspended from the PC095’s
boom versus its Rated Load Capacity. The PRCI will always indicate load
percentage based on the currently indexed Lifting Prole.
• When the PRCI is GREEN, the PC094’s PRC is LESS THAN 80%
• When the PRCI is YELLOW, the PC094’s PRC is LESS THAN 100%
• When the PRCI is RED, the PC094’s lifting functions have been
disabled due to one or more of the following conditions:
• The PRC is at 100% of rated load capacity
• The boom has been extended to Stage 3 or 4 and the stabilizers
are STORED
• The hook block is two-blocked
• The boom and hook block have been stored
The PRCI also works with the Travel Speed Indicator to determine the
PC094’s traveling speed seing (see Travel Speed Indicator).
Rated Load Chart
The Rated Load Chart is the manual lift planning aid that the PC094
Operator will use to plan out lifts or to manage an existing lifting operation.
The Rated Load Chart is a decal applied to the carrier of the PC094, in line-
of-sight of the PC094 Operator.
The Rated Load Chart lists the rated load capacity based on its Boom
Stage, working radius, and Stabilizer status (STORED/EXTENDED).

18
Stabilizers Stored Switch
The Stabilizers Stored Switch is a limit switch that is OPENED when
BOTH Stabilizers have been rotated and locked into their stored conditions.
The Stabilizers Stored Switch has three functions, as it applies to lifting or
traveling with the PC094:
• When the Stabilizers are STORED AND the boom is stored, the PC094
CANNOT perform lifting functions but CAN travel at maximum
speed.
• When the Stabilizers are STORED and the boom is NOT stored, but is
in Stage 1 or Stage 2, the MW Lifting Prole is indexed by the PC094.
• When the Stabilizers are STORED and the boom is NOT stored, but is
in Stage 3 or Stage 4, the CLS will NOT index a Lifting Prole and the
PC094, traveling and lifting functions will be disabled.
• When the Stabilizers are EXTENDED and the boom is in Stage 1 or
Stage 2, the HW Lifting Prole is indexed by the PC094.
• When the Stabilizers are EXTENDED and the boom is in Stage 3 or
Stage 4, the LW Lifting Prole is indexed.
Safety Override
The Safety Override is a key-operated switch in the Crane Control Group
of the PC094. When a key is inserted and the switch is turned and held (in the
ON position), all the onboard safety systems and operator aids of the PC094 are
bypassed. The switch is spring loaded and will turn to the OFF position if not
held in the ON position.
The Safety Override is only used in two specific situations; when the
PC094 needs to bypass the A2B System in order to properly store the hook block
when placing the PC094 into Travel Mode and when needing to recover the
PC094 if one of its electronic safeties or operator aids has failed-safe.

19
Travel Speed Indicator (TSI)
The Travel Speed Indicator (TSI) is a three-color LED, viewable from the
Operator’s Station that is used to indicate the maximum available travel speed of
the PC094.
• When the TSI is GREEN, the PC094 can be traveled at 100% available speed
(the PRCI will light up in RED).
• When the TSI is YELLOW, the PC094 can be traveled at either 50% or 25%
speed:
• When the TSI is YELLOW and the PRCI is GREEN, the PC094 can be
traveled at 50% speed.
• When the TSI is YELLOW and the PRCI is also YELLOW, the PC094
can be traveled at 25% speed.
• When the TSI is RED, the PC094 travel function has been disabled.
Minimum Wire Rope Safety
The Minimum Wire Rope Safety is a switch mounted below the wire rope
drum that prevents the operator from completely un-spooling the wire rope from
the drum. As wire rope is un-spooled, a lever moves closer to the switch. Once it
makes contact, WINCH DOWN is disabled.
The Minimum Wire Rope Safety is calibrated at the factory to leave 3-5
wraps on the drum. If the operator needs to replace wire rope and go past the 3-5
wrap minimum, the Safety Override must be used.
