INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing Gorbel® to solve your material handling needs. The innovative design and heavy-duty
construction of the Gorbel® product will provide a superior quality product that will offer years of long term value.
The hoist weight allowance is 15% of the crane’s capacity (for example, a crane rated for 6000 pounds, allows for a
6000-pound live load plus 900 pounds for the weight of the hoist). There is also an allowance of 15% of the crane
capacity for impact caused by hoist use. Gorbel® products will provide many years of dependable service by
following the installation and maintenance procedures described herein.
Gorbel® products are shipped in various stages of assembly and are installed under varying circumstances. As a
result, a complete guide with descriptions covering all variations is not possible. The following instructions are only to
be used as a general guide. Attention should be paid to the warnings and safety suggestions posted in this manual
and on the equipment.
Dimensions contained in this installation manual are for reference only and may differ for your particular
application.
Normal safety precautions: These include, but are not limited to:
• Checking for obstructions in travel
• Checking that all bolts and threaded rods are tight and have lock washers where applicable
• Making sure that end stops are in place and functional (i.e. stopping rolling equipment from exiting rail)
• Making sure that festooning cannot be snagged or pinched, whether it is electric or pneumatic
• For additional safety precautions, see page 19.
WARNING
Please read entire manual prior to starting installation.
WARNING
Gorbel Inc. assumes no responsibility for adequacy or integrity of the mounting surfaces or the structure that the
crane may be mounted to. Gorbel Inc. will not be liable for any loss, injury or damage to persons or property, nor
for damages of any kind, resulting from the failure or defective operation of any materials not supplied directly by
Gorbel Inc. Bracing systems, if used, must be approved by a local professional engineer.
WARNING
Before installing any crane system, it is critical you determine that your building will safely support the loads.
WARNING
Equipment described herein is not designed for, and should not be used for, lifting, supporting or transporting
humans. Failure to comply with any one of the limitations noted herein can result in serious bodily injury and/or
property damage. Check State and Local regulations for any additional requirements.
WARNING
Crane cannot be utilized as a ground: A separate ground conductor is required. For example, systems with 3 phase
power require three conductors plus one ground conductor.
WARNING
Reference the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Manual of Steel Construction Specification
for Structural Joints using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, Installation, Pretensioned Joints, Calibrated Wrench
Pretensioning for the proper procedures to follow when using any torque tightening method.

STEP 2 - ATTACHMENT AND HOLE LAYOUT
2.1 Attachment to support structure via 3/4” Grade A325 bolts. 3” long bolts are included.
Hardened washers and Anco lock-nuts are included and must be used. Maximum 1-3/8”
structural member thickness.
2.2 Layout and drill holes in support structures 13/16” nominal. 15/16” maximum hole diameter
per AISC.

STEP 3 - MOUNTING
3.1 Shim frame to level the underside of the outer frame to prevent racking/twisting (shims
included).
3.2 Verify frame is square by checking diagonals.
3.3 Torque frame attachment hardware to 260 lb ft, Turn-of-Nut method is acceptable
3.4 If beams are not factory prepped, e
nd prep incoming beams. Additional parts required from
factory (see Appendix A on pages 11-14 for detail).
3.5 Use provided 3/4” A325 bolts, washers and nuts to loosely assemble monorail beam to
switch. Do not tighten yet.
3.6 Shim inlet and outlet beams 0” to 1/32” lower than switch track.
3.7 Set gap between inlets and switch track is 1/8” maximum. Ensure that beam ends do not
rub or bind as they pass each other.
3.8 Once beam is positioned, tighten beam attachment hardware. Torque to 260 lb ft. Turn-of
Nut method is acceptable.
