INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing a MET-TRACK® Floor Mounted Workstation Kit Crane from Metreel. We really appreciate your choice and are confident that, when installed correctly this product will provide you with a superior materials handling solution. All of our cranes are designed and engineered for a powered hoist operation, however manual hoists, balancers and any other lifting equipment can be used as long as the duty is within our standard capacity. If you are unsure about his point then please contact our technical team on Toll Free 877-830-9803 or email [email protected]

Within our design criteria we have allowed 15% for the weight of the hoist, for example with a 500lb crane, the hoist unit itself should be no heavier than 75lb. There is also an allowance with the design for normal impact loading caused by the bridge and hoist movement.

To ensure that you continue to get many years of service from the MET-TRACK® Workstation Crane we advise that a good inspection / maintenance routine according to our procedures detailed herein must be adopted.

Dimensions contained in this document and any literature is for guidance only and may differ from the crane delivered. Please ensure you refer to the General Arrangement Drawing for actual dimensions.

1) If a festoon system has been selected for this workstation crane then it may be necessary to put the appropriate number of festoon trolleys, end clamps and festoon storage extension (FSE) on to one of the runway’s prior to the bridge being installed. This depends upon where the power source is located, ideally the end clamp of the festoon should be positioned as close to the power source as possible.

2) Slide the End Trucks over the end of the bridge (Refer to the General Arrangement Drawing for the positional dimensions).

3) Using the bolts on the top of the sleeve of one of the End Trucks, clamp the bridge (if a conductor system is being installed this should be the End Truck on the side where the powerfeed will be positioned).

4) Remove or leave free the bolts on the sleeve of the other End Truck, see fig 10. (This is to allow for the

bridge to float taking up the slight deviation of the installed runways).

5) Install an End Stop to the end of the bridge opposite to the festooning (where appropriate) see fig 11. Being careful not to allow the free End Truck to slip off, lift up the bridge and insert the end Trucks into the open ends of the runways. If appropriate make sure the festooning end of the bridge is oriented with the festoon or conductor system on the runway.

6) Slide End Truck into the runways and immediately install the End Stop Kit in the open ends of the

runway to prevent bridge from falling back out the system.

7) Check the position of the bridge, there must be a minimum of 2” between the end of the bridge and the column upright

8) Clean the inside of the bridge flanges with a clean, dry cloth to remove grit or debris

9) Run the bridge down the complete length of the runway to check for smooth travel. If the bridge movements is not smooth, check the runways are level and parallel, check that the End Trucks are only clamped on one side. Make sure the inside running faces of all profiles are clean and all debris has been removed

HOIST TROLLEY AND BRIDGE FESTOON INSTALLATION

Install hoist trolley and festoon trolleys on crane bridge track, if applicable, as shown in fig 12. Secure End Stop bolts and rubber bumpers, also shown in fig 12. Install the festoon cable/hose on the festoon trolleys at equal spacing, ensure festoon has correct loop depth (refer to the General Arrangement Drawing).

Once installation is completed, the bridge and runways should be levelled. The total system should then be checked for tightness of all nuts and bolts.

SERVICE CONNECTIONS It is the responsibility of the customer to provide a suitable power supply. IF a festoon system has been chosen we will supply a 30” tail for connection to an isolator. For air supply it is the responsibility of the customer to provide a suitable clean air supply at the required rating to accommodate the working pressure. (hose to be supplied by others)

FINAL STEPS

• Check to make sure all bolts are tight and lock washers are compressed

• If necessary, touch up crane with paint provided

• Keep Packing List, Installation Manual, General Arrangement Drawing and any other documents

filed together in a safe place

WARNING, SAFETY AND CAPACITY LABELS If at any time these labels are lost, stolen, removed or become illegible please contact Metreel at [email protected] for replacements.

LOAD TESTING After the MET-TRACK® system has been installed, you should Load Test the equipment before operating and also after any modifications.




Page 22 of 29

SWAY BRACING (Optional)

Support assemblies are designed to AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) specifications. If reduced movement of the support assemblies is desired, then sway bracing (not included) can be added. The installer or end user must determine the possible locations of the bracing based on the specific application.

Bracing can be added in one of three formats, or a combination of any three.

1) The most typical place to brace is directly to a building column. Providing a brace from a building column to the lateral (side) and longitudinal (lengthwise) axis of the support steel provides extreme rigidity throughout the system and requires only minimal locations (2 or 3 corners of the system is adequate).

2) Another method is to brace back to the ceiling above the crane. Again, bracing at the corners of the system on bother lateral and longitudinal direction is sufficient (see fig 14), providing the distance to the ceiling is not greater than 10ft. For distances greater than this additional points may need to be braced both laterally and longitudinally at the discretion of the end user and/or the installer.

3) Finally, if the system is located at the point where it is practical or possible to brace to the building

columns or the ceiling structure, cross bracing can be done. This can be added at the sides of the system (See fig 15) to control longitudinal sway, or across the system open ends to limit lateral motion (not shown). This can also be added to the top of the system but should be checked to make sure it does not interfere with the travel of the bridge.

It should be noted that the use of sway bracing is purely subjective because it is not a requirement of Metreel, Inc. No specifications exist detailing appropriate methods and the ultimate quantity and type is at the discretion of the user and installer.

If bracing always determine if the building structure is adequate.

MET-TRACK® OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS MET-TRACK® systems move materials and equipment over areas where other personnel are located. It is therefore vital for the MET-TRACK® operator to be fully trained in the use of the MET-TRACK® system and be fully aware of both the danger to life and or serious injury that may result from careless operation. Local and national legislation and regulations as well as plant safety and operating procedures must be followed at all times. In addition it is recommended that the following information is studied in order to understand safe lifting procedures specific for the MET-TRACK® system. The following notes are suggestions of good working practice, however it must be remembered that it is the responsibility of the MET-TRACK® owner to ensure that all personnel using the system are aware of all federal, state and local rules and legislation covering use of such systems as well as having specific training on the use of the MET-TRACK® system in question. OPERATOR QUALIFICATION Operators should comply rigidly with the safety rules and practices detailed in current ANSI and OSHA Safety standards. The safe and efficient use of MET-TRACK® system requires good operator skill, judgement, awareness and concentration. For these reasons the following categories of employee should not be permitted to operate a MET-TRACK® system: 1) Those who cannot understand the printed instructions

appertaining to use of the MET-TRACK® 2) Anyone who is under the required age to legally

operate the system 3) Those who have either impaired hearing or impaired

field of vision 4) Those who suffer from medical conditions which may

compromise the operators safe operation of the system (conditions may include heart problems, epilepsy etc.)

5) Anyone who has not read and fully understood all aspects of the MET-TRACK® instruction manual

6) Anyone who has not been formally instructed in the operation of MET-TRACK® systems

BRIDGE TRAVEL Before moving the bridge, the operator must check to ensure that the hook is positioned high enough to clear any local obstructions. Before attempting to lift a load, the bridge must be positioned such that it is directly over the load to be lifted. When moving the bridge start the movement slowly and increase the bridge speed gradually. When approaching the target position, slow the bridge down gradually before coming to a complete stop at the target position.

HOIST TROLLEY TRAVEL There is a serious risk to health caused by loads swinging at the start of a lift. For this reason it is vital that when attempting to lift any kind of load that the hoist trolley is positioned directly over the load to be lifted. The hoist hook can then be raised very slowly in order to remove slack from the hoist slings or chain. Once the slack has been removed check again that the hoist is in the correct position before proceeding to lift the load. As with all aspects of MET-TRACK® movement, the hoist trolley must be started at a slow speed before increasing. Speed must then be reduced when approaching the target position before finally stopping at the required point. HOIST MOTION Refer to hoist supplier’s specific operating instructions. GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT MET-TRACK® OPERATION KNOW YOUR MET-TRACK® SYSTEM All MET-TRACK® operators and maintenance personnel should be aware of the key components of the MET-TRACK® system as well as having a thorough understanding and knowledge of the key movements and lifting functions of the system. Both personnel should be aware of both the location and operation of emergency stop systems as well as safe disconnecting procedure for power to the MET-TRACK®

and any associated systems. OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY Any MET-TRACK® operator should be made aware that they are directly responsible for the safe operation of the system. If the operator has cause to suspect any aspect of the system not being in a suitable condition for safe operation then the operator MUST NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM! Operation should only resume once safety has been assured or an operator is instructed to proceed by a supervisor. In the latter situation the supervisor them assumes ALL responsibility for the safety of operation. SYSTEM MIS-USE The MET-TRACK® system is a proven design for the safe lifting and movement of loads. Operators or other personnel should be made aware of injuries or loss of life that may result in using the system either incorrectly or for other uses that it is intended. Personnel should not be permitted to ‘ride’ on any part of the system such as the load, hoist or cross bridge at any time. Such mis-use can easily result in serious injury or death.




Page 24 of 29

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURE In addition to operator training and skill, the following guidelines should be followed to achieve safe and efficient handling of the MET-TRACK® system. 1) All crane movements including cross bridge, hoist

trolley and hoist should all be done with a smooth action and should move from a stopped position through a gradual ramp up in speed before normal operating speed is achieved. When coming to a stop, speed should be reduced gradually before bringing any item to a complete stop. When lifting any load ensure that any slack is removed from the slings or chains prior to lifting.

2) Any load being lifted must have the hoist positioned

DIRECTLY above it prior to starting the lift. Failure to observe this could result in the load swinging out when lifted which could result in damage to plant, injury to personnel or overloading the MET-TRACK® NEVER attempt to lift loads outside the standard lift footprint of the MET-TRACK® system.

3) The MET-TRACK® system should only be used to lift

a load in a vertical direction only. Loads should not be pulled or dragged under any circumstances.

4) Loads should not be lifted over any personnel. Any personnel in the immediate are of lift should be made aware of the impending lift and moved clear.

5) The load being lifted should not exceed the safe

working load limit clearly specified on the MET-TRACK® system.

6) Before lifting any load ensure that the hook latch is in

the closed position (if fitted) and that all slings or chains are correctly seated.

7) Ensure that any load is lifted sufficiently high that it

can be moved without fouling any floor obstructions when moved.

8) Under no circumstances should a load be left

suspended from the MET-TRACK® system. Loads should always be lifted, moved and put down and not left suspended. The load operator should be present whenever the load is in the lifted condition.

9) Ensure that any sling hooks not required for lifting a

load are either removed or properly stowed prior to the start of the lift as otherwise they present a hazard.

10) Do not leave slings or chains hanging from the crane

unless they are being used for a specific lift at that time. Hanging equipment can easily damage plant or personnel when the MET-TRACK® is moving.

11) Ensure extra safety precautions are taken if the type of load being lifted demands it (eg. Molten metal, chemicals etc.)

12) Ensure that the following procedure is followed whenever an operator leaves the MET-TRACK®

system: a) All hooks should be raised so as not to cause an

obstruction. b) The MET-TRACK® system be parked at a pre-

determined park position and the load removed. c) Switch all controls to the ‘off’ position. d) Switch the main crane isolator to the ‘off’

position. e) Perform a visual check before leaving the MET-

TRACK® system 13) Whenever maintenance or inspection work is being

performed on the MET-TRACK® system, the main isolator should be set to the ‘off’ position and locked. Warning signs should be positioned to make it clear the MET-TRACK® is to remain isolated.

14) The hoist trolley should not contact the bridge stop

bolts and buffers under normal operating conditions. Likewise the bridge end trucks should not contact the runway stop bolts and buffers during normal operation. The stop bolts are there as a safety feature and are not designed to be contacted by the hoist or bridge during normal operation.

15) The Metreel MET-TRACK® system includes a number

of built in safety features which are required for safe operation of the system. Under no circumstances should any safety features, or any standard MET-TRACK® components be removed, disabled or impaired as this will provide a serious safety risk.

Any removal, disabling or impairment of any aspect of the MET-TRACK® system will automatically and immediately make void all Metreel expressed and implied warranties.
