MLC90A-1/MLC100-1 OPERATOR MANUAL SETUP AND INSTALLATION
SHIPPING CRANE COMPONENTS
It is the owner/user’s responsibility to ensure the following:
• All trailer loads comply with local, state, and federal
transportation requirements.
• All crane components are properly blocked and secured
so they cannot shift or fall off the trailers.
• All pendants, if shipped on boom sections, are securely
attached with owner furnished cargo tie-down straps so
the pendants cannot shift or fall off the boom sections.
• To avoid damage to components:
Use synthetic tie-downs to secure components as
shown in Figure 4-40
, View A.
If chain tie-downs are used, install protective covering
(such as sections of rubber tire) between the chain and
the component being secured as shown in Figure 4-40
,
View B.
When securing boom sections, wrap the tie-downs over
the chords — never over the lacings. Keep the tie-downs
as close to the blocking as possible (View A) to prevent
bending the chords.
