General Engineering Product Specification

Gantry end frames shall be of steel square-tube construction manufactured to Wallace Cranes standards including, but not limited to, the following:

Gantry shall be fixed in height.
Gantry shall be adjustable in span so that operators may adjust the crane to an inboard braced, outboard braced, or a combination of the two or approved cantilevered configuration.
Gantry shall have fixed caster frame spread; and welded caster frame plates for attachment of casters.
I-beam shall be American Standard with a design deflection of no greater than 1/800th of the span in accordance with Wallace design criteria. I-beam shall be free-swinging and self-aligning to allow lifting off-center loads.
Gantry shall be equipped with eight, 360-degree rotating, non-marking phenolic resin casters with 4-position swivel locks, at 90 degrees, to provide easy steering of the crane by locking “lead” casters only, or to allow positioning of the crane more firmly than a brake by locking all four casters 90 degrees to each other. Casters shall have 8” diameter as determined by the capacity, height, and span of the crane.
The I-beam and I-beam brackets shall be painted with red gloss industrial quality paint.
The frames, including brace legs, caster frames, and main legs shall be dip-painted with red gloss industrial quality paint to protect inner and outer tubing walls.
The model number to be provided shall be tested in accordance with Wallace specifications (A specific unit shipped is not tested; unless a Certificate of Test is ordered [additional charge applies]).
Gantry bolts and hardware shall be plated to prevent corrosion.
Gantry is manufactured in accordance with our interpretation of ANSI B30.17 and U.S. OSHA, (Section 1910.179, revised January 1976), regulations at the time of manufacture.
