A GMK 3050-1 is a three-axle all terrain crane. It drives to the job on public roads, then sets up and lifts with its telescopic boom. If a used crane came in without the book in the cab, this is the document an operator needs before taking the first lift.
What this manual helps you do
- Read the controls and instruments before you climb into the cab, including the crane cabin heating controls.
- Follow the basic safety instructions for crane operators.
- Plan the job using the information for operations planning.
- Set up and rig the crane, then run crane operation from the superstructure.
- Check the driving mode and rigging for on-road driving, and know what to do when a malfunction shows up in driving mode or during crane operation.
Who this is for
Operators and operator trainers get the most from it. An operator uses it to learn the carrier and superstructure controls and the setup sequence. A trainer uses it as the reference for walking a new or relief operator through the machine.
