The TC 5613-6 tower crane, with embedded anchors or with an

undercarriage, independent hoisting height is 40.5m. 2-fall or 4-fall wire ropes may be used
for hoisting purpose. The tower sections are integral construction of square shaped steel
tube structure. The base section of tower body or the undercarriage is connected to the
foundation.
,,
The lower end of the slewing ring support is the climbing frame, which surrounds the
tower body. According to the construction needs, jacking mechanism can jack the upper
structure of the tower body to let in mast sections for increasing tower crane height.

The maximum hook height can reach 40.5m when crane is stationary with embedded
anchors and 220m when anchored if it is fastened with tie-in onto the building and mast tie
frame. When the height is 110m, hoisting can be done with 2-fall or 4-fall, but if the
height is >110m, only 2-fall can do the job. The required distance between slewing center of
tower and the building is 3.5 meters. As for unusual conditions, please contact Zoomlion for
further consultation

before the tower crane mast sections have been dismantled and the slewing ring support has
not been connected to the tower body by 8 M30 high-tensile bolts.
2.1.4
;
Check frequently the main stressed parts of the jacking mechanism, as the tower crane
dismantling is a heavy and continuous work for the jacking mechanism.
2.1.5
()(
);
While the jacking mechanism is working, all operating personnel are required to focus their
attention on observing the relative positions of moving parts for being normal (e.g. between
rollers and main chord rods, between climbing frame and tower body.).
2.1.6 14m/s
.
Carry out dismantling when the wind speed is lower than 14m/s at the highest point. Take
care of the stockpile location of dismantled parts because the building has been constructed
and working site space is limited during tower crane dismantling. No carelessness in this
operation, otherwise personal safety accidents will be likely.
2.2 Procedures of Tower dismantling

The trolleying mechanism is for radius changing on the trolley. When doing radius
changing, the two-speed motor (model: YDEJ132S-4/8-B5 with magnetic disk brake)
drives the drum through the planetary reducer, thus making the trolley travel to-and-fro
along the jib. Travel traction is done by 2 wire ropes (619-7.7-1550-right twisted). One
end of the two wire ropes are fixed at both ends of the wire drum, wound on the drum and
led separately to the front and rear of the jib. They pass over the guide pulleys at the jib
root and jib tip. Another end of the wire rope are fixed on the trolley. In the course of
radius changing, one rope retracts and the other rope extrudes for the normal operation of
trolley. When the trolley travels to its minimum or maximum radius, the number of turns of
both ropes on the wire drum shall not be less than 3.

, 100 110,
The tower crane is provided with a mechanical type-moment limiter for protection
purpose. When the moment has reached 90%of its rated value, the pre-warning light in the
operator cab is on. When the moment has reached 100%~110% of its rated value, hoisting
up and the trolley outwards-travel
are stopped due to power off and
over-load alarm at the same time.

Fig.3.2-1 Schematic diagram of the moment limiter
The moment limiter consists of two-spring plates 2, three travel switches 3 and
adjusting bolt 4. They are fixed on the chord rod on the tower crane rear side through
mounting block1. If the tower head has deformed during crane operation, the distance
between two spring plates will become narrower, thus activating the adjusting bolt for
adjusting bolt contacts and travel switch. Corresponding moment will give warnings and cut
off the power for the crane up and trolley outward-travel, thus playing the role in moment
limiting protection.

According to the national standard requirements, Zoomlion tower cranes are

equipped with anti-drop device of jacking system. During adding tower sections or
lower tower sections, the device must be used.
The anti-drop device consists of the thumb latches on the jacking beam and the
anti-drop holes on the climbing lugs of tower sections. The usage method as following:
1.
During adding tower sections or lower tower sections, put the thumb latches in the
anti-drop holes and fix the in the fore groove.
2.
After finishing a jacking step, the thumb latches must have been moved away from
the anti-drop holes befor puting the jacking beam away from the climbing lugs.
Otherwise the latches are damaged.
