Fastenings

Anchorage with anchors

AnchorFix
The classical anchorage with anchors, temolate and a set of nuts and washers. Delivery also comprises a detailed foundation plan with information about foundation size and required reinforcement.

Anchorage without screws jutting out

TopAnchor
The alternative anchorage without screws jutting out (no trip hazards). The foundation area is kept free and accessible until the final intallation of the crane. The crane can be put into operation immediately, because no grouting is needed.

Anchorage with optimum ease of installation

CompactAnchor
This anchorage offers th advantages of TopAnchor an is furthermore very easy to install. There is no need to mount separete parts on site. Positioning in the foundation pit is easy done by set screws

Fastening to steel structure or machine

Base flange, flush
Base flange, flush or plane machined surface, designed to attach the crane to a steel structure or machine. Fastening screws to be provided by the customer.

Power supply

Flat cable trailing system

Robust power supply, consisting of flat cable, cable trolleys, C-rail and suspension arms to fix the supply to the jib arm. Pendant control fixed to the hoist. Standard for an outreach from 10 m or in combination with electrical slewing gear.

Ideal control

The pendant control is independently from the hoist movable on a separate C-rail. Consisting of flat cable, cable trolleys, two C-rails and suspension arms. Especially suitable for situations requiring a distance between operator and load, e.g. when load has to be carried over an obstacle or pit.

Surface finish

Paint system for indoor use

Cranes intended to be used in a hall are steel grit blasted and provided with a high-quality coating on the basis of corrosion category C2. It is suitable for minor atmospheric stress. The standard colour is daffodil yellow (RAL 1007) with a nominal layer thickness of 80 µm.

Other RAL shades, corrosion categories, and layer thicknesses are available as an option.

Paint system for outdoor use or production halls with high humidity

Cranes intended to be used outside require a special outdoor paint. For this purpose, the crane structure is steel grit blasted and provided with a high-quality outdoor coating on the basis of corrosion category C3. It is suitable for medium atmospheric stress. The standard colour is daffodil yellow (RAL 1007) with a nominal layer thickness of 120 µm.

Other RAL shades, corrosion categories, and layer thicknesses are available as an option.

Hot-dip galvanising

Hot-dip galvanising of crane structure on the inside and outside according to DIN EN ISO 1461.
