Cable Reeving - Manitowoc Grove RT540E Operator's Manual

SET-UP AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

CABLE REEVING

NOTE: There are two types of cable (wire rope) available
on this crane; 6 x 36 WS and 35 x 7 (non-rotating).
Within the limits of the load and range charts and permissible
line pull, multi-part lines allow the operator to raise a greater
load than can be raised with a single part line. Various cable
reeving (part line) is possible with the boom nose and hook
block Figure 4-7. This reeving should be performed by a
qualified rigger using standard rigging procedures.
CAUTION
Do not reeve Auxiliary Hoist rope through the rope grab.
Do reeve the Main Hoist rope through the rope grab.
(Figure 4-1)
NOTE: Also use the rope grab when using the Main Hoist
with lattice extensions
