Page 6: Installing End Trucks
4.2 Installing End Trucks Tools Required: tape measure, framing square, large torque wrench with 1 ¼ socket, 1 ¼ combination wrench for STT style (15/16 for SCT), and a welder of your choice. A 1/8” tolerance is required when aligning end trucks. Use a framing square to achieve proper end-truck to girder alignment. -

4.3 Installing Your Starke ElectroTrack Brackets Tools Required: 9/16” combination wrench, drill with 3/8” bit Read these instructions first and then unpackage all the parts of your ElectroTrack kit. Get familiar with the different parts and be looking for the bolt-on ElectroTrack track runway hangers. -
Page 8: Spacing Options
4.3.1 Spacing Options Option A. (W beam with 4”+ flange) Drill 3/8” holes into the top flange of your bridge girder every 79”. It is recommended for the first hole to be drilled approximately 8 inches from the start of your bridge beam to accommodate for the Power feed box (shown below). -
Page 9: Paint
4.4 Paint Tools Required: paint, and painting equipment. When painting the crane, it is highly recommended to tape off a 1.5-2” section where the trolley wheels run. This will help the trolley roll smoother, and will keep paint scrape from building up, creating lumps for the wheels to drive over. -
Page 10: Panel Bracket Installation
5 bolts. Washers are necessary on the inside of the panel only IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing the panel bracket on the bottom of the top flange, a minimum of 2” of bracket on the beam flange is required. Beam to Type (Starke) Capacity Bracket Length Chain Hoist 1/8 Ton to 1 Ton 13.5”... -
Page 11: Installing Electrotrack And Making Connections
At the end of the ElectroTrack system that will be closest to your bridge panel power supply, install one full length of the Starke ElectroTrack to be used for “incoming power”. (Green & Yellow color stripes should be facing away from the I-Beam.) Drill a ¼” hole in each copper conductor rail as shown below to connect incoming power wiring. -
Page 12: Installing Electrotrack And Making Connections (Continued)
4.6 Installing ElectroTrack and Making Connections (Continued) Push the next full track section of ElectroTrack copper conductors into the splice connectors installed previously. Once all 4 conductors are started into the corresponding copper splice connector, use a needle nose plier to work the conductors the rest of the way into the connectors fully. -

4.6 Installing ElectroTrack and Making Connections (Continued) This will Place the End Power Feed housing on the “Incoming Power” end of the ElectroTrack. be the end closest to the panel. Next place a bolt through each copper conductor hole so that the bolt head is between the conductors. -
Page 14: End Truck Motor Installations
4.7 End Truck Motor Installations 4.7.1 Geared End Truck Motor Installation (STT Model End Trucks) Tools Required: 18mm combination wrench, (21mm for STT-250 end trucks) 13mm combination wrench (6mm Allen for STT-250 end-trucks), and grease. For top running rail type end trucks, installing the geared motor on a 5 Ton to 10 Ton system will require the gear to be removed. -
Page 15: Geared End Truck Motor Installation (Scu Model End Trucks)
4.7.6 Geared End truck Motor Installation (SCU Model End Trucks) Install the geared motor and torque fasteners. Next install the pillow block and gear assembly. Be sure to use the provided wedge washers on the angled part of the end truck, and regular washers on the pillow block itself. Before tightening, make sure gears mesh properly. -
Page 16: Installing The Wire Rope Hoist With Integrated Trolley
4.8 Installing the Wire Rope Hoist with Integrated Trolley Tools Required: proper size wrench of your choice IMPORTANT NOTE: Does not apply to top running hoists. Begin by opening the trolley up wide enough to fit over the flange of the girder. To adjust the trolley size, first loosen the locking collar on the hex shaped wheel driveshaft (if equipped) then use the adjusting nuts to widen or narrow the trolley size. -
Page 17: Alternative) Installing Chain Hoist Trolleys
4.9 (Alternative) Installing Chain Hoist Trolleys Tools Required: tape measure. IMPORTANT NOTE: installing the trolley before the crane is set is highly recommended First remove the pin holding the trolley together. Next, determine the spacing that your trolley is to be set at. The spacing should be 1/16” to 3/16” wider than your beam flange (measure from the side guide wheels on the trolley). -
Page 18: Installing Chain Hoists (Skip If Wire Rope Hoist Is Used)
4.10 Installing Chain Hoists (Skip if Wire Rope Hoist is Used) IMPORTANT NOTE: this step can be done after the bridge is installed Tools Required: 18mm combination wrenches. Remove the top pin from the hoist. Next hang the hoist, the panel side facing the festoon, and install the pin and cotter key. -
Page 19: Fabricating And Installing The Electrotrack Tow Bracket
4.11 Fabricating and Installing the ElectroTrack Tow Bracket Tools Required: ½” combination wrenches Due to differing beam sizes and widths, you will need to fabricate a custom Electrotrack tow bracket. Attach the silver tow arm to your custom bracket. Please make sure the fingers stick past the collector to prevent the collector from slipping out of the tow bracket. -
Page 20: Connecting Cables, Cable Management And Strobe Light Connection
4.12 Connecting Cables, Cable Management and Strobe Light Connection Tools required: drill with 1/4" bit, #2 Phillips, 3/8” combination wrench. Install the cables for the end trucks. It does not matter which cable goes to panel plug A or panel plug B at this time. We recommend mounting the cables on top of the crane and using the adhesive tie mounts to secure them down. -
Page 21: Installing End Stops
4.13 Installing End Stops Tools required: 15/16 combination wrenches. Refer to the photos below for proper installation of end stops. It is recommended to cut the threaded rod to the width of your crane. End stops should be placed so that you have a minimum distance of 3 inches between the hoist/trolley and any other item that it could hit. -
Page 22: Installing Radio Receivers
4.14 Installing Radio Receivers The last step to building your crane kit is installing the radio receivers First install the radio receiver onto the main control panel. Use the provided spring to mount the receiver, then plug the receiver into the 16 pin plug. 4.14.1 Radio Receiver Installed on Control Panel Then install the second receiver onto the hoist using the spring provided, then plug the receiver into the 18 pin plug on the hoist panel. -
Page 23: Testing The Crane
4.15 Testing the Crane. Tools required: miscellaneous electrical tools. IMPORTANT NOTE: to ensure everyone’s safety, testing is to be done by a qualified electrician. It is recommended that you test the crane before installing onto your runway. After all plugs are connected, Install the power wire, and connect to your building power. All crane systems are required to have a safety disconnect clearly marked to ensure easy shut- down in case of emergency. -
