Freestanding Articulating Jib Cranes – 402 Series

402 Series Freestanding Articulating Jib Cranes

• Easy installation at nearly any location
• Offers 360-degree rotation for inner and outer arms
• Anchor bolts are used to secure the baseplate to a reinforced concrete foundation for ultimate stability under load
• The pipe mast’s connection to the hexagonal baseplate is reinforced with six equally spaced gussets

Spanco Articulating Jib Cranes support nearly any type of manipulator, balancer, or hoist. 402-Series Jib Cranes mount directly to your facility floor using mounting plates and anchor bolts. Many systems require only standard six-inch reinforced concrete floors; new foundations are only required for special loading conditions.

• Workstation Bridge Cranes: AISC Steel Construction Manual, OSHA 1910.179, ANSI B30.17, AWS D1.1/D1.6, and MMA MH27.2
• Gantry Cranes: AISC Steel Construction Manual, OSHA 1910.179, ANSI B30.17, AWS D1.1/D1.2/D1.6, and CMAA 74
• Jib Cranes: AISC Steel Construction Manual, OSHA 1910.179, ANSI B30.17, AWS D1.1/D1.6, and CMAA 74

All Spanco cranes have a design factor of 15% of the allowable capacity for the weight of the hoist and 25% for impact.

Fabrication Standards:

All welding performed during the manufacturing of Spanco cranes meets the following American Welding Society’s (AWS) standards: D1.2 for aluminum and D1.1 for steel.

Spanco is officially certified as an AWS Certified Welding Fabricator (CWF). This certification means that not only are all welders AWS Certified, but all processes and procedures adhere to AWS CWF requirements. Examples of requirements include annual calibration of all welding machines and Level 2 visual inspections on all load-bearing components.

Material Standards:

All aluminum used in the manufacturing of Spanco cranes meet ASTM International specification ASTM B308 for 6061-T6 aluminum.

All steel used in the manufacturing of Spanco cranes meets the following applicable ASTM International specifications:

Structural Steel Shapes: ASTM A-36
Structural Steel Pipes: ASTM A-53 Grade B
Structural Square and Rectangular Steel Tubing: ASTM A-500 Grade B

Steel plate and round bar used in Spanco cranes have minimum yield strengths of 36 KSI

Surface Preparation & Painting Procedures:

Spanco adheres to the standards of the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) for all product surface preparation. Prior to painting, all Spanco crane components are deburred and descaled using power tools equipped with sanding discs and wire wheels. Components are then washed utilizing a high-pressure/high-temperature biodegradable degreaser solution. Parts are wiped clean and allowed to dry before the painting process. During painting, all components surfaces are coated with a quick drying, semi-gloss enamel, applied to a minimum dry-film thickness of 2 to 3 mils. A finishing coat is applied with a hot, airless, electrostatic spray paint system. Painted components are cured at air temperature.

Deflection Guidelines:

The following guidelines for deflection and stress are followed by Spanco engineers during the crane design process:

• Workstation Bridge Cranes: All models are designed to approximately L/450
• Jib Cranes: Freestanding (100, 101, and 102 Series), Mast Style (200 and 201 Series), Wall-Mounted Cantilever (300 Series), Articulating (400, 401, and 402 Series), and Foundationless models (600 and 605 Series) are designed to approximately L/150; Wall-Mounted Bracket (301 Series) models are designed to approximately L/600 at midspan
• Workstation Jib Cranes: Wall-Mounted (WC Series) models are designed to approximately L/225; Freestanding (FR Series) models are designed to approximately L/150
• Gantry Cranes: All steel series models are designed to approximately L/600; Aluminum models are designed to approximately L/450
