design constructed with suitable steel material. Diameter of trolley wheels is kept 40
mm with double seal ball bearing. Cable trolleys are designed to take load of cable
and moving with cable load smoothly on the 'T' track. Suitable arrangement is
provided to tie the power cable and link chain with cable trolley. The power supply
flexible trailing cable shall comply with IS 694. System is supplied with isolators to
take full load current when the equipment is working with maximum safe working
load. The system shall provide with suitable supports to take load of 'Tee' track, cable
trolleys and power cable with other materials.
4. GEAR BOXES: Gear boxes which are totally enclosed, grease lubricated are designed
for transmission of motion for motor to rope drum/wheels. Gears and pinions shall be
confirming to IS 4460. Hardness of cross travel and long travel for pinions shall be in
the range of 250-275 BHN and for gears 215-240 BHN. Hardness for hoisting gears is
in the range of 285-300 BHN for pinions and 250-265 BHN for gears. Difference in
hardness of gear and pinion is maintained 35 BHN. Spur gears are used for hoist, CT
and LT gear boxes. All gears and pinions are checked by LPI/MPI for surface cracks
after hardening. All gear boxes are lapped before final assembly and ensured for
noiseless running of the system.

(Installation & Maintenance instructions of Siemens motor is enclosed)
6. INTERLOCK MECHANISM (Male & Female)
GENERAL: The Interlock mechanism employed in the crane has been designed on
the basis of the specifications and the guidelines given by BHEL, Hyderabad and the
drawings for which also have been approved by them taking into consideration the
operation and the safety involved thereof. The interlock mechanism has been designed
primarily keeping in view the safety aspects during operation.
DESIGN: The Interlock mechanism has been designed to transfer the trolley with
hoist with rated safe working load from master crane to slave crane or master crane to
fixed monorails and vice versa. The interlock mechanism is capable of withstanding
the forces when even one of the cranes is being operated by mistake. The cross travel
stoppers should give way to the hoist when interlock mechanism is coupled.
Dimensional tolerance for the male & female component of the interlock mechanism
shall be very close which will ensure proper locking without play and smooth transfer
of trolley from one crane to the other.
A chain with chain wheel is provided for activating the interlock mechanism.
The cross travel movement of the hoist is restricted by the stoppers provided in the
interlock mechanism in the normal position. A limit switch also has been provided for
instantaneous stoppage of the long travel movement of the crane, activated by the
interlock mechanism. Pendant push button stations have been provided separately for
the hoist with trolley and long travel motion of all the cranes. 8way pendant push
button station provided for the hoist has lockable OFF push button in addition to ON
Operation & Maintenance Manual
Page 3
Global Technologies
and OFF push buttons to ensure that the hoist cannot be operated once the lockable
push button is operated. This is a backup safety measure.
OPERATION: The Mill handling crane is positioned in alignment with the service
crane and the chain provided in the Service crane is pulled with sufficient force for
enabling the interlock mechanism to be activated. Once this process is complete, only
then the hoist can travel from service crane to the mill handling crane. Unless the
interlock mechanism is activated, the hoist at any cost cannot travel from service
crane to mill handling crane in view of the stoppers provided in the interlock
mechanism. Limit switch provided for the cross travel movement of the hoist trolley
ensures that the hoist does not over-travel either at one extreme end of the service
crane and the other extreme end of the mill handling crane. If the force employed is
not sufficient while the chain is pulled, the stoppers will come to the original position
restricting any movement of trolley of the Electric Hoist.
Positive safety and back-up safety measures
a) Limit switch ensures LT movement comes to a halt in case Interlock mechanism is
operated by chain either manually or by accident.
b) Cross travel movement of Hoist cannot be operated since Push button stations are
provided separately for Hoist and Long travel.
c) Lockable push buttons have been provided to ensure back-up safety.
d) Stoppers provided in the Interlock mechanism need to be lifted by minimum 300 mm
from bottom of the flange of the girder. This requires extra amount of manual effort
for activation. Failure to lift a minimum of 300 mm height will stop the movement of
cross travel.
e) Accidental pulling of the chain cannot activate Interlock mechanism for providing
300 mm clearance, since limit switch provided for LT will be operational, at once.
7. HOOKS: Hooks shall meet the dimensional, material testing & inspection
requirement of IS 3815/8610, whichever is applicable. The hook shall be provided
with standard depress type safety latch and swivel thrust bearings with hardened race.
Lugs for fixing safety latch shall be either forged along with the hook or clamp type
latch with lugs shall be provided. Locking arrangement shall be provided to avoid
unscrewing of the hook in service. All the hooks shall be tested for twice the safe
working load.
8. WIRE ROPE: Wire rope shall meet the requirement of 1S 2266 and shall have 6x36
construction as per strand with an ultimate tensile strength of 180 kg/sq.mm. The wire
rope shall be galvanized as per IS 1835 type B. All wire ropes shall be proof load
tested for 2 times of SWL/Fall. Breaking load shall not be less than five times SWL.
9. DRUM AND SHEAVE: Drum shall be of welded steel or seamless steel and Sheave
shall be cast or welded steel. The drum shall accommodate all the length of rope
required for the lift plus two dead wraps at each anchor point without overlap. Drum
can be grooved right or left or both, and grooves shall suit the ropes used. Sheaves
shall be equipped with sheave guards to retain the rope in groove.
10. GEARS AND PINIONS: Gears and pinions shall be confirming to IS 4460. Hardness
of cross travel and long travel for pinions shall be in the range of 250-275 BHN and
for gears 215-240 BHN. Hardness for hoisting gears is in the range of 285-300 BHN

When dimensioning and fixing the crane runway, one has to consider a sideway force
of 10% of the max, wheel load and longitudinal braking forces of 10% of max, wheel load.
Tolerance of Gantry Girders: The crane runway (rails) must be mounted so that the span does
not vary more than + 6 mm. The difference in height along the runway should be less than
0.15% of the runway length. The difference in height between the two rails (measuring points
opposite each other) should be less than 0.10% of the span.
Fixing of Gantry Girders: The approach will partly depend on the runway construction means
of fixing and other conditions at site. In particular with long runways, a theodolite should be
employed for alignment of the runway supports before the runway is laid on. When the
runway is made up from steel profiles, the rails can be welded to profiles, after the crane is
lifted into position, using the crane to obtain the correct span. Use intermittent weld size 5
mm, with 50 mm weld with 200 mm. gap. First straighten the runway along one side, and use
a steel tape measure and spring scale to check the span and alignment of rails on the other
side. When checking span, use calibrated steel tape measure and 20 lb spring balance (10 kg).
The tape should only be held at both ends regardless of span (no other supports). Check span
for each 12 ft (4 m). Rail joint should be cut oblique and welded. Rail should be bolted at
expansion joints, but not welded.
Sequence of Erection of Crane: Investigate the possibilities of using a mobile crane. If this is
possible, the work can be simplified extensively, particularly, if the crane can be assembled
before it is lifted on to the runway. The latter depends on the available space at site. On larger
cranes the end-trucks are bolted on to the main girder(s) to simplify transport and assembly.
Conditioned at site often make it necessary to lift the different parts on to the runway before
assembly of the crane.
Main Parts: For transport, the crane is usually split up in the following main parts: Main
girder End trucks with long travel machinery & Hoists
End Carriages: Lift the end carriages and place them on to the corresponding gantry girders.
Tie them up to the gantry girder suitably keeping pickings so that the seats of the girders are
horizontal.
Erection of Bridge Girder: In single girder crane, LT motion is obtained by means of two nos.
geared motors. These motors are mounted directly on end carriages & drive LT wheel
through an open reduction. End carriage is invariably dispatched with motor duly assembled,
therefore no assembly is required. However sometimes for facilitating the transport, the long
travel motors may be dismantled and dispatched separately. In such cases motors should be
fitted to the end carriage and proper meshing of pinion and gear on LT wheel should be
ensured and checked by manually running the pinion after releasing the motor brake
Erection of Trolley Single Girder Crane: Single girder cranes have under slung trolleys. To
get the trolley on to the main girder track, the spacer bolts must be loosened allowing the
travelling wheels to clear the main girder flanges. Refer the general arrangement drawing to
confirm that the trolley is put on in the right direction.
Wiring of Crane: For transportation, a number of electric cables have to be disconnected and
these have to be reconnected after erection of crane with the help of wiring diagram. All the
outgoing leads and terminals have been suitably marked to facilitate the wiring of the crane.
Page 6
Global Technologies
Erection of Down Shop Leads and Current Collector: When power supply is vertical, the
conductors shall lie on support insulators. These must be positioned vertically, spacing 8 in
(200 mm) along runway. The conductors are stretched by means of end insulators fitted with
cable tension bolts.
When power supply is horizontal, the conductors are suspended and fixed in support
insulators. Erection is otherwise as stated above. The spring load current collectors used in
conjunction force of 10-15 lbs (5-7 kgs).
Note: Current carrying conductors must not be closer to building wall than 2 in. (5 cm)
Erection of DSL (Trailing cable trolley type): All Fasteners shall be of 4.6 Grade 8.8
Galvanised. The distance of the cable trolley assembly from the Runway beam centre line
shall be adjusted to suit site condition.
End Stoppers are sent loose and to be welded after completing the assembly of the
cable trolley. End cable trolley should be fixed at the extreme end of the DSL Track at Fixed
cable end.
Painting: Two coats of Red oxide and two coats of synthetic enamel paint of ash gray with
each of min. 40 Microns OFT.
Earthing of Electrical system: The crane push button station or controller is always "earthed"
to the crane steel structure. All other parts are also earthed by means of copper wire & GI
strip and brought to a common earthing point on structure. Most electricity boards accept the
crane rail as earth connection along the crane runway. In addition to this an earth-wire must
be installed together with the crane power supply conductors connected to a connection box
at one end of the runway. From this box, cables are connected to the down shop leads
conductors along the runway and earth is connected to the crane structure.
Protection of Electrical Equipment: The electrical layout of the crane is protected by fuses in
the crane control panels. Fuse ratings are shown in writing diagram. Over load relays are also
provided wherever desired.
TESTING OF CRANE
a) The machined bolts joining the bridge with the end carriage are fully tightened.
b) Ensure proper lubrication for all parts, oil is filled in the gear boxes up to the levels
marked.
c) The hoisting wire rope is properly lubricated.
d) All grease nipples or cups are in positions and all bearings are properly lubricated.
e) The limit switch and brake settings are properly done.
f) The wiring is correctly done as per the diagram enclosed and check that all the
terminals are tight.
g) Check insulation of the complete electrical system.
h) Switch on the main power, and check that there is no electrical leakage.
i) Make sure that sequence of supply is correct. The direction of the controllers
corresponds with the markings on them. If hook moves upward on operating lowering
control, interchange the two phases of supply in the corresponding Motor Terminal
Box or Control Panel.
Page 7
Global Technologies
j) Match Marking: All the cranes supplied by us to all the sites have match marks. These
match marks are applied with grease before the painting of the cranes. Every
girder/end carriage has clear match marks including the numbers. These match marks
are faintly visible with the grease being applied. With just cleaning of the grease, the
match marks would be visible clearly.
This is a standard practice and accepted norm at the time of crane erection. Each crane is
separately assembled, tested and then match marked before dismantling the same, painted and
then dispatched. Hence, interchange ability cannot be ensured between different cranes
because each crane is specifically assembled, water-levelled, tested, painted and dispatched.
Tolerance for span and diagonals is t 3 mm, whereas machine bolts employed for girder end
carriage joints have zero tolerance and hence interchange ability between different cranes is
not feasible. (DETAILS ON MATCH MARKING ARE ENCLOSED)
COMMISSIONING OF CRANE
1) It should be ensured that there is no obstruction along the entire track length.
2) The crane should be slowly run along its track, and the collectors adjusted. It should
be seen that the trolley wheels do not jam against the gantry girders anywhere.
3) The current taken by the motors when moving the crane without load in all three
motions should be measured with a TONGTESTER. The values should be within
limits of no load currents.
4) The setting of the brakes must be checked, as also the limit switches.
5) The hoist brake should be checked with normal loading conditions and 25% overload.
All other motion should also be checked for smooth operation.
6) Deflection of crane is measured with the trolley positioned at main girder midpoint
with max. S.W.L. on hook (no overload). The deflection shall not exceed 1.1906" of
span.
7) With the satisfactory results on the above points, the crane can be handed over to an
experienced driver and put to use.
We should recommend, checking on these points again after initial working of about 50
hours. After that, for good working over a long period, regular maintenance and inspection
should be carried out.
OPERATION
Cranes are controlled from a pendant control unit suspended at about 1 meter distance from
floor level. The main isolator on floor operated cranes is mounted in the protective panel
fixed on the crane platform. All movements of the crane and the operation of the main
contactor are controlled by push buttons on the pendant control unit.
The push button unit may be suspended from the hoist so that it moves with the load
or from a fixed point on the crane girders or support on a track, so that it can be moved from
one side to other side independent of the load.
All push buttons are spring loaded so that when a button is released the particular movement
ceases and the brake is automatically applied.
Legends adjacent to the push buttons (Left, Right etc) refer to movements made when the
operator faces the unit without disturbing its natural hanging position.
Operation & Maintenance Manual
Page 8
Global Technologies
Starting-Up:
1) Switch on the mains supply for the down shop conductors through switch Fuse unit
which may be on a wall or supporting column.
2) Switch on the isolator in the protective panel on crane platform.
3) Momentarily press the "ON" push button the control unit. (This closes the main
contactor which supplies power the crane)
The Crane is now ready for operation and must be operated in accordance with the proper
safety rules and routine checks established during training.
Operation of Crane: Respective push buttons for Hoist, CT and LT motions are set in pressed
position to maintain the selected movement. The brakes are automatically applied as soon as
the push buttons are released.
Emergency Stop: Press to 'STOP' or 'OFF' push button, on the pendant control unit. This will
stop all motions of the crane instantly.
Shutting Down:
1) Leave the load hook in the raised position.
2) Press the 'STOP" or "OFF push button on the control unit.
3) Open the isolator for the down shop conductors.
NOTE: Under normal circumstances, the main isolator in the protective panel is left
switched ON.
MAINTENANCE
Before commencing any maintenance, ensure that the electrical supply is switched off and
that a warning notice mentioning "MEN AT WORK - PLEASE DO NOT SWITCH ON" is
attached to the isolator.
Scheduled maintenance, one of the most important aspects of crane maintenance
engineering, is difficult to achieve as each piece of plant operates on a different duty and each
factory has its own problems. Consequently, the preventive maintenance schedule resolves
itself into logging the past history of plant and equipment. It is therefore advisable to log, in
advance, the items which it is proposed to add to the schedule and to give them a trial period
before making them fractural.
ROUTINE INSPECTION

3. Bearings:
It should be checked that bearing housings are firmly fixed with structure and
lubrication system is alright. A clearing of 0.1 to 0.2 mm between bearing outer race
and end face of cover is allowed. If clearance is more, it should be adjusted to proper
value by changing the shims. Bearing housings should be washed with kerosene while
regreasing bearings must be rejected if cavities appear on the grooves of races or on
rollers/balls. Bearings should also be rejected if there is excessive radial play between
inner and outer race, loosing of vaces in housing cracks & signs of local wear in race,
rollers or balls.
4. Gear Boxes:
Appropriate filtered oil should be filled up to level in between higher & lower
mark on dipstick. Every six months gear box is to be checked for gear wear, bearings
bolts & nuts and overheating. Permissible wear on gear tooth thickness on PCD is
10% on input and 20% on other pairs. Oil should be changed every six months.
5. Hoist Drum:
Maximum wear of 3mm over drum thickness is allowed. Drum should be
inspected for grooves, rim surfaces, rope fasteners, toothed open gear bearing and
covers.
6. Brakes:
Proper stroke is to be adjusted as lining gets wearied out. Spring should be
adjusted for proper braking torque. Brake hinge joints must be periodically lubricated.
It is to be checked that hinges are not jamming shoes hold the brake drum properly
and withdraw of shoe is uniform. Lining of hoes is to be changed when wear reaches
50% at the middle portion. Re-machining of brake drum is allowed up to 30%
reduction in brake drum rim thickness, if required. New brake shoe lining are
subjected to intensive wear in beginning and should be frequently inspected and
readjusted.
7. Wheels:
Housing and bearings are to be checked. Wheels should not have cracks or
worn out flanges and surfaces should not have excessive wear. Wear allowed on
flanges is 40% and on rim is 30% of original values. In case of uneven wear, surfaces
should be re-machined.

hoisting mechanism should be operated so as load should not fall immediately, and
then crane is to be taken to safe place and load lowered.
7) One crane used to push another crane is not at all permitted.
8) If power supply is out, all handles of controllers should be bought to zero position.
9) It is strictly prohibited to climb from one crane to another crane.
10) Do not use any overhead material handling equipment for handling personnel.
11) Stand clear of all load
12) Be sure that all motions are operating as per the markings on controllers.

This hoist does not require elaborate instructions for general care. It is of sound
design and sturdily built, yet so simply constructed that if the following suggestions are
adhered to, no trouble should be experienced except the normal wear after long service.
If anything does go wrong with the machine, have it repaired at once. It is better to
spend little time in making minor repairs when trouble first develops, than to take a chance
and have the machine idle while major repairs are being done at a later date.
You are entitled to the best we can give you in machinery and service, but no matter
how much has gone into the manufacture and construction of the machine it still require
reasonable care while in operation, therefore, see that lubrication is attend to regularly. See
that the brakes are in good condition and are correctly adjusted. The hoisting is done by
pressing the 'Raise' push button only.
INSTALLATION
The 'GLOBAL' Electric Hoist is tested to overload and adjusted for proper operation before
leaving the factory. The 'GLOBAL' Electric Hoist is supplied in assembled condition. The
Electric hoist should be un-packed at the place where it is going to be used. Before the unit is
Page 15
Global Technologies
placed in service, there are several items that must be checked to ensure correct application
and avoid service trouble.
1. Check the power supply which is indicated on the name plate of the hoist. Check the
voltage frequency and phase. The voltage supplied to the hoist must be same as
indicated on the name plate, otherwise over heating of the motor will reduce the
lifting capacity and result in improper functioning of all electrical components.
2. Before mounting the hoist on rail track, it is necessary to check the distance between
the flanges of the driving wheels and width the I-beam. It is necessary to ensure a play
of 3 to 6 mm. for free movement of the wheels. While checking the operation of the
trolley, ensure that the beam should be cleaned from dust, lubricants etc.,
3. Refer to the lubrication chart to determine if the hoist is properly lubricated.
4. After mounting the hoist on the I-Beam, press the 'UP' push button. The hook will
start going upward. If the hook lowers instead of going up, two phases at the supply
terminals should be changed over.
5. Check the operation of the limit switches. Limit switches are set to give minimum
headroom and maximum run out of the wire rope. If required, these limit switch may
be adjusted to give any intermediate height of lift.
6. Test the operation of direct acting electromagnetic brake to determine if the correct
adjustment of the brake is obtained. Ensure that the travel of the load block stops,
when the power is cut-off. Although the brake is set before leaving the factory, it is
necessary to make slight adjustment to compensate for initial gear on the lining after
1-2 weeks usage (refer page No 5.6 &7).
HOIST OPERATION
GLOBAL Wire Rope Electric Hoist is extremely simple to operate. The operation of the
Hoist is through Pendent Push Button operated from floor with control voltage either 10 volts
or 24 as per customer's specifications. To ensure maximum life of the Hoist, ensure the
following while operating the Hoist.
Operation & Maintenance Manual
Page 16
Global Technologies
1. The load should be placed centrally under the Hoist. Dragging of loads will damage
the rope guides wheels.
2. Use slings or any other safe method of attachment to the hook for lifting load.
3. Avoid swinging and trapping of the Wire Rope.
4. Lift such load as is within the rated capacity of the hoist.
5. Entrust control of the hoist to knowledgeable person who can ensure good working
conditions and safety of operation.
6. Ensure that the area of operation is well - lit and free from constructions.
7. Avoid unnecessary 'inching' as this may cause burning or contacts and motors.
DON'TS
1. Do not Hoist and transport loads above the rated lifting capacity of the Hoist. The
Hoist is designed for lifting only 25% excess over the rated capacity.
2. Do not use the Hoist for any other work which is not typical to its use and operation.
3. Do not use to haul loads by pulling the rope in a diagonal direction.
4. Do not allow swinging of the load during horizontal movement. Reduce swinging by
switching on the mechanism of horizontal movement several times in the initial stage.
5. Do not use Hoist without ensuring the proper operation of limit switches. This can be
done by hoisting and lowering the hook couple of time without load.
6. Do not use limit switches as a constantly operating automatic appliance.
A.C. SOLENOID BRAKE TYPE
The oversize wheel type construction permits use of a smaller operating solenoid that
required less current for a given torque rating.

Thus the solenoid brake being electrically released and spring applied is fail
device. The brake is usually applied on the extended shaft of the motor but may be
applied to the intermediate shaft of the transmission system.
ii. Installation:
a) Place brake on mounting holes. Insert mounting holes but do not tighten.
b) Connect coil to supply and energize.
c) Assemble the brake wheel on the shaft.
d) Fix the base is most suitable position such that the clearance between brakes
wheel and lining is equal on both sides of both the shoes when brake is energized.
e) Operate the brake two / three times.
f) Tighten the bolts.
g) Brake is installed.
iii. Torque Adjustment:
Compress the torque spring by emerging the coil to get the required torque.
The approximate compressed length of this spring should be as follows:

Brake

Length of
1.1/16
1.3/4
2.1/16
Table 1.0
This length should be maintained by turning the torque screw nut. When brake is
energized the wear allowance for lining should be kept 1/16" (wear allowance is measured
between the stop nut and rocket block at tope of outer shoe lever). When the lining wears out
the gap increases and this should be adjusted by turning stop nut. Adjustment of shoe's travel
should be done by turning the hexagonal nuts on which the inner shoe rests. This adjustment
is done to make travel of both shoes equal.
Disc Brake and its Maintenance:
Disc brakes are constructed to fit directly on to the non driving end of motors having
flanges and extended shaft at non driving end. A driving, hub (normally square) is keyed and
grubbed to the motors shaft. Liner plates are fully floating on driving hub. The brake is spring
applied and it is release by Electro Magnets. The braking torque is easily adjustable.
Adjustment of Brake:
Adjust the required braking torque by compressing three main springs equally by
tightening main spring nut. Then adjust air gap (0.5 to 1 mm. max) with the help of magnet
plate nut gap/gaps must be equal all round, Armature plate. In any case air gap should not be
more than 1 mm. It is exceeds the coils may burn off. Connect the incoming supply leads to
terminal blocks and supply current referring name plate for proper voltage. Armature plate

should be attracted smoothly without any ehatterim2, noise. When supply is on Motor shaft
will be free. Then switch off the supply. Repeat ON 2/3 times to ensure free movements of
armature. It armature is not attractim2, immediately after supplying current, reduce spring
pressure. After adjusting torque, lock main spring nuts and lock nuts firmly by applying two
spanners simultaneously: 14.a.se not as soon as brake is switched on, Armature must be
attracted to magnet closin,2, air gap otherwise coils will burn within fraction of minutes.
After confirming smooth operation of brake, remove incoming supply leads and connect
brake directly to motor's terminal or us per your requirement.
Maintenance:
Check periodically for liner wear. When air gap is found more than 1 mm. it means
brake needs adjustment. Slacken the magnet plate nuts and adjust the air gap (approximately
0.55 mm) and retighten the nuts.
Renewal Liner Plates:
Remove magnet plate, springs, nuts and Armature Plate, remove worn out liner plate
and fit new one. Check up whether driving hub has also worn out, replace it if necessary, reassemble and set brake.
To Remove Coil:
Disconnect incoming supply leads and remove magnet plate only disconnect coils not
in position and colour of leads. Bend up coil clamps and remove coils. Fit new coils taking
care that all leads are exactly as before (all leads are downward and at same side). Bend down
coil clamps so that they hold the coils firmly. But ends of clamps are not touching the
windings. in case of single phase brakes i.e. when there is only one coil, direction of or colour
of leads is not important just connect two leads of coil to terminal block.
TROUBLE SHOOTING AND REMEDY
a. Magnet fails to pick up
1. Check up for loose connection and proper voltage.
2. Check up coil continuity replace if burnt out.
b. Brake makes chattering noise
1. Check that all the three springs are equally compressed.
2. Air gap is equal round.
3. All phases are showing same voltage.
4. Magnet and armature surface are clean and no foreign particles are imbedded.
5. If faces of magnet and armature and found un-even after long use, grind both
surfaces.
c. Braking is insufficient
1. Check up main spring setting.
2. Check up liner plate wear.
3. Check that armature plate of friction plate is not touching to mounting bolts.
4. Driving hub & motor shaft is not touching to armature plate at centre.
d. Reversing contactors not operating

CONCLUSION
In closing this write-up, let us urge that the operator pays very careful attention to the
lubrication of machine. The life of the moving parts depends greatly on the care and
lubrication that they get. It is your machines do your best to preserve it.
MAINTENANCE

Global Technologies
"GLOBAL" Electric hoist require little maintenance. Regular attention to the 161 lowing
points will give you best service and longer life of our 'GLOBAL' Hoists.
Weekly:
1. Pass a rag over the wire rope to detect broken strands. The rag will snag, on the
broken strands. If there are a number of broken strands found further operation will be
unsafe, immediately replace the wire rope.
2. Lubricate the wire rope as recommended in the lubrication chart.
3. Ropes subjected to corrosion should also be checked on their internal condition.
Should be replaced if corrosion is severe.
4. Examine guide clamping for correct tension.
5. Examine Thruster Brakes for slip and re-adjust IF REQUIRED.
6. Ensure that all screws and bolts are tight.
7. Examine bottom block and its attachments for strain or any other damage.
8. Ensure free rotation of hook and sheave, lubricate if required as recommended.
9. Grease all nipples wherever provided.
Monthly:
1. Check oil level in the gear box. IF REQUIRED add some with recommended oil to
bring it to the OIL LEVEL PLUG.
2. Grease all nipples (wherever provided) and bearings as recommended.
3. Examine Thruster brake operating linkage. Lubricate with very small amount of oil if
found necessary. While doing so, see that oil does not go in to the brake linings.
4. Examine contacts for wear and fittings. Clean or replace if found necessary.
5. Examine push button connections. Ensure that weight of' the push button station is
taken by a chain / wire rope and NOT BY THE CABLE.
6. Examine all electrical connections and see that they are secured, as per wiring
diagram.
Half yearly:
1. Examine trolley, runner wheels, pinions gears and bearings or wear and any sort of
damage.
2. Examine rope drum, rope guides, bottom block for wear or any sort of damage,
lubricate them properly as recommended.
3. Examine limit switch connection / mechanism for proper operation.
4. Drain off oil from the gear box and refill with fresh oil as recommended in the
lubrication chart.
