Positioning the Lifting Cranes

Follow these steps to position the crane modules and trailer ready to lift a container:

1. Position the lifting cranes in the appropriate positions for the size of container. This makes it easier to line up the cranes beside a container.
   1. Select Traverse ( or ).
   2. To move modules out to 40' position, push joysticks out. To move to 20' position, push joysticks in.
2. Park the Sidelifter trailer for lifting the container and ensure the parking brake is ON.

If the Sidelifter has additional positions for one or both of the cranes, it will be fitted with intermediate stops. In this case the crane module will need to be positioned on the contact side of the stop yet far enough so the stop can be flipped over. Once the stop has been flipped over the crane module can be moved until it contacts the stop giving the desired position. See the diagram below.

The position and operation of the crane stops are shown below.
