TELESCOPING −
HANDLING THE TELESCOPIC CAGE
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Handling the telescopic cage is possible by means of the crane hook provided that
the crane lifting capacity is higher than the telescoping equipment weight.
Compulsorily use slings and shackles supplied by the constructor.

TELESCOPING − HANDLING THE TELESCOPIC CAGE / Possibility of handling the

telescopic cage using the crane hook

Make sure that the hoist rope length is sufficient.

If this is impossible, the telescopic cage must be compulsorily raised or lowered by means of the
telescoping cylinder, or possibly using an auxiliary lifting equipment.
In this case make sure that the capacity of the auxiliary lifting equipment is higher than the weight of
the telescoping equipment.

 TELESCOPING

Fitting and dismantling the telescopic cage by means of the crane hook
2 possibilities :
H outside the crane tower

TELESCOPING / Fitting the complete telescopic cage

H along the crane tower

It is essential to use the telescoping cylinder for pinning or unpinning the telescopic
cage from the towerhead (5 m height).

5m
STOP

Then the telescopic cage can be lifted or lowered all along the crane tower by means of the crane hook.

TELESCOPING / Lowering the telescopic cage

Special instructions

Sling the telescopic cage by the lower handling rings by means of 2 slings supplied
with the telescopic cage.
Tighten the slings moderately.
The presence of the personnel on the telescopic cage platforms is strictly forbidden,
operate from inside the mast using the normal accesses.
All these operations must be carried out with adjusted safety devices.
