BOM

Plate Mounting Danfoss Valve RH Crane: S8-39734R replaces S8-33620

Plate Mounting Danfoss Valve LH Crane: S8-39734L replaces S8-33633

The crane base structure part numbers are unchanged.

Backward Compatability

This change is not backward compatible so the old valve bank mounting plates will continue to be available for spare parts use.

Benefits and Advantages to Change

The reason for this change is to improve serviceability of the SB401 sidelifter. If the mounting plate is removed the spools in the valve bank will be accessible without having to remove the valve bank from the crane. Although the pipes that run to and from the valve bank will hold it in place, it is recommended that a suitable block is positioned below the valve bank to help support it while the mounting plate is not fitted.
