Gantry Crane 1:87
Description
This gantry crane was built in large numbers and can still be found at many load tracks today.
This finished model is constructed very finely in detailed plastic. Quiet miniature motors with metal
transmissions lift and lower the crane hook and move the trolley. The crane has two adjustable
outputs e.g. for lighting, lifting magnet or grip arm.
The model is equipped with a digital decoder, so that all functions can be controlled with either a DCC
or Märklin Motorola Digital Center. Using the key connections, analog operation is also possible.
Packing contents
Gantry crane fully assembled
Roof with two bearers for optional mounting
Instructions
Adhesive label
Unpacking
Remove the upper foam material and then
the lower foam material block from the
packing. Hold the gantry crane by the base
plate and carefully remove the middle
foam block from the packing. The middle
foam block consists of two sections
between which the crane hook is located.
Tip: In order to avoid damage we
recommend that you only transport the
gantry crane in this packing.
Roof assembly
If desired glue the enclosed bearers to the
intended location under the roof.
The roof should either be placed or only
loosely fixed so that the trolley remains
accessible in the case of service.
Note: During installation or in the case of
transport the crane hook must be raised
completely so that the rope cannot jump
off the pulleys.

Page 3: Installation
3 pole socket in the Base plate The 3 pole socket provides outputs A1 and a2 as well as the common return RL. Loads such as lighting, lifting magnet etc. can be connected here. The outputs can then be switched by keys 5 and 6 in analog operations and special function keys f1 and f2 in digital operations Installation Firstly saw a cutout of 124 x 53 mm in the layout’s base board under the shipping track. - Page 4 If light function (f0) is switched off the crane hook can be controlled with the speed control. When light function (f0) is switched on you can control the trolley with the speed control. The adjusted speed step remains after switching the light function. If the end positions should be reached without having stopped the relevant motor the motor output is automatically switched off (overload protection).
- Page 5 Programming with a Märklin Center With a Märklin center all CVs can be programmed, but not read. Note: Before programming, the crane trolley must be driven into the center of the gantry. 1. Switch Center off and on. 2. Select the address of the decoder and switch the light on. Change the direction of travel 5 times in quick succession, until the motor jerks briefly.
