3 Swing-away lattice
3.1 Validity
This chapter applies to the derricking and inclinable swing-away lattice.
The swing-away lattices are distinguished by their angle settings.
The angle of the derricking swing-away lattice
is adjusted with the hydraulic cylinder (1).
Rigging work that applies only to this swing-
away lattice is indicated in the checklists with
the symbol (1.1).
The angle of the inclinable swing-away lattice
is adjusted with the angle piece (2).
Rigging work that applies only to this swing-
away lattice is indicated in the checklists with
the symbol (2.1).
Definition
The swing-away lattice is also part of the boom extension. The described
circumstances therefore also refer to the boom extension under certain con-
ditions.
In this case the collective term
lattice extension is used instead of the term
swing-away lattice.
H
The term swing-away lattice extension is predominantly used in the Lifting
capacity tables
. This term is only used later on in this chapter whenever
a length dimension is necessary.
If no length dimension is necessary (e.g. for rigging work), only the term
swing-away lattice is used to keep the text as short as possible.
