The construction manager will make sure that the material or structure
to be lifted are safe and can be laid to its final location without any
hassles and unsafe conditions. A method statement engineer should
make sure to develop a good method statement especially for the
assembly of crawler crane.
So without further ado.
3. Material
Note that in the method statement for assembly of crawler crane, you
should ensure materials are all written.
In the equipment and tools part, you should ensure that all equioments
and tools involved are laid out in order to consider the development of
the risk assessment for the assembly of crawler crane.
• Forklift
• Lifting web slings/chain
• Tower lights
Lifting permit and lifting plan to be completed and signed-
off by (company) appointed person and supervised by the
third-party certified and competent lifting supervisor during
assembly.
All lifting plants and equipment are certified by approved
(municipality) Third-Party Testing Body. Lifting supervisor
and rigger will inspect the lifting equipment prior to use and
color-coded based on (company) safety color scheme for the
current month.
Third-party inspection and certification of the crawler crane
after the function test to be submitted for review and records.
Please note that you always ensure that procedure for assembly
of crawler crane is perfectly followed.
5.3.3.2 Establish the hydraulic connection to the pin pulling device via
two quick couplers.
5.3.3.3 Hang the pin pulling cylinder into the receptacle support and
the screw on the pin.
5.3.3.5 Lock the pins on both sides of the S-pivot section with the
hydraulic pin pulling a cylinder.
5.3.3.6 Actuate key on the control console and “hold down”, finally
actuate the key until the pin is fully pinned in.
5.4 Procedures for unloading materials from the trailer using a forklift
5.4.1 The trailer truck should be in complete stopped (engine off)
before loading/unloading activity starts.
5.4.2 Wheel choke will be provided on the trailer truck at both front
and end tires.
5.4.3 The unloading area will be demarcated and provided with plastic
red / white chain and safety signage will be in place. Only authorized
personnel will be allowed in the work area.
5.4.4 The flagman and lifting supervisor will inspect the material for
any displacement from its original configuration or stacking on the
trailer bed. If there is no displacement, then unloading can proceed.
Otherwise, the materials will be rejected and send back to the supplier
to rectify the stacking onto the trailer bed.
5.4.5 Maximum working radius with the SA-frame to lift the crawler
carrier is 5.5mts as per SA load chart.
5.4.6 Secure the trackpads with the chains provided on the sides of
the crawler carrier.
5.4.7 Move the SA frame down till the lifting hook on the SA frame is
centralized with the crawler carrier.
5.4.8 Connect the lifting tackle onto the two lifting links provided on the
crawler carrier and assembly cylinder provided on the SA frame; make
sure that the lifting link is swung between the trackpads. Lift the
crawler carrier and move it carefully towards its attachment points on
the crawler center section. Use the pin pull/push cylinder to insert the
crawler pins and secure it with the retaining pins.
5.4.9 Release the lifting tackle and similarly lift and assemble the
second crawler track
5.5 Installation of counterweight
5.5.1 Total central counterweight is 30 Ton.
5.5.4 Make sure that the counterweight. difference between the right
and left counterweight stack should not exceed 5 Ton.
6. Functional Test:
Once the assembly of the crane is completed, check properly for all
the hydraulic, electrical, guy rod connections, pin connections.
Crane Accessories:
7. De-rigging procedure:
The demobilization will follow once the crawler crane has been
successfully de-rigged. (Company) logistic management will be
notified once the crawler crane components are ready to be
demobilized from site.
