Abstract

980,620. Self erecting tower cranes. STOTHERT & PITT Ltd. July 30, 1963 [July 31, 1962], No. 29468/62. Heading B8B. To erect a sectional tower crane a superstructure S, Fig. 2, is first raised into a vertical position on the crane base by a winch M on a pintle section R. The pintle section is erected by placing rollers 15 on guides 14, running it into the superstructure S and raising it by means of the winch M, jacks 32 lowering it after the centre of gravity passes over the pivot point. A panel is attached to the superstructure to close the top of the open side and a counterjib is attached. Next, the pintle section is raised off the ground by a rope 26 and winch M in co-operation with a rope 42 and pulley 43, Fig. 4. Guides 34, 35 keep the pintle vertical and when it is high enough a further section 36, Fig. 5, is slid into place on rollers 15 and guides 14. Further tower sections are added and the superstructure open side is closed by adding a second panel. The jib is now bolted to the superstructure and the whole is raised up the tower by the winch M and a yoke 20 on the pintle is bolted to the top of the superstructure. Guides 65, Fig. 8, on the superstructure engage co-operating members on the yoke 20 when the guides 34, 35 move out of contact with the tower. The securing mechanism is described in Specification 980,619.
