PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION

Install the powered hoist and trolley system, and festoon system, complete in accordance with the approved submittals and in condition to perform the operational and acceptance tests.

3.2 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

3.2.1 Post-Erection Inspection

After erection, the Contractor, the Contracting Officer, and a representative of the activity maintaining organization, shall jointly inspect the hoist systems and components to determine compliance with specifications and approved submittals. Notify the Contracting Officer days before the inspection. A list of deficient items, including a determination of criticality will be provided to the Contractor for corrective action. Outstanding items shall be noted for correction during the inspection. Items considered critical (load bearing, load controlling, or operational safety devices) shall be corrected prior to further testing.

Upon correction, provide a report of the inspection indicating the system is considered ready for operational tests.

3.2.2 Operational Tests

a. After erection and inspection, test the festoon, hoist and trolley as specified herein. Test the systems in service to determine that each component of the system operates as specified, is properly installed and adjusted, and is free from defects in material, manufacturing, installation, and workmanship. Rectify all deficiencies disclosed by testing and retest the system or component to prove the system is operational.

SECTION 41 22 23.26 Page 9

b. Furnish loads for testing, operating personnel, instruments, and all other necessary apparatus.

c. Furnish test loads, operating personnel, instruments, and other apparatus as necessary to conduct field tests on hoist and trolley, and festoon. Perform test and final adjustments of the equipment under the supervision of the Contracting Officer, and a representative of the activity crane maintaining organization.

3.2.3 Test Data

Record test data on appropriate test record forms suitable for retention for the life of the system. Record operating and startup current measurements for electrical equipment (motors and coils) using appropriate instrumentation (i.e., clamp-on ammeters). Compare recorded values with design specifications or manufacturer's recommended values. Abnormal differences (i.e., greater than 10 percent from manufacturer's or design values) shall be justified or appropriate adjustments performed. In addition, note any high temperatures or abnormal operation of any equipment or machinery , investigate and correct. Record hoist and trolley speeds during each test cycle.

3.2.4 Hook Tram Measurement

Measure hook for hook throat spread before and after load test. Establish a throat dimension base measurement by installing two tram points and measuring the distance between these tram points (plus or minus 1/64 inch ). Record this base dimension. Measure the distance between tram points before and after load test. An increase in the throat opening from the base measurement is cause for rejection.

3.2.5 No-Load Test

a. Hoist: Raise the load hook the full operating lift distance and verify satisfactory operation of hoist, upper limit switches, lower limit switch, and the hoisting and lowering speeds. Operate the hoist at low and high speed in both directions.

b. Trolley: Operate trolley assembly the full length of the beam section in both directions. Operate trolley at low and high speed in each direction. Verify satisfactory operation and verify trolley speed.

3.2.6 125% Rated Load Test

125 Percent (plus 5 percent minus 0) of rated capacity

a. Hoist Static Test: Raise test load approximately one foot above the floor and hold for 10 minutes. Observe load lowering that may occur which indicates malfunction of hoisting component or brake.

Lower the test load to the floor until the hoist line is slack.

b. Hoist Dynamic Test: Raise the test load to approximately 5 feet above the floor. Lower the load back to the floor. Stop the test load at least once while lowering and observe proper brake operation. Wait 5 minutes, then repeat the above cycle.

c. Load Brake Test (if equipped): Raise test load approximately 5 feet.

SECTION 41 22 23.26 Page 10

With the hoist controller in the neutral position, release the holding brake. The load brake must hold the test load. Again with the holding brake in the released position, start the test load down at low speed and return the controller to off position as the test load lowers. The load brake must stop and hold the test load. If the load brake does not stop the test load, but prevents the test load from accelerating, activities will contact the OEM or activity engineering organization to ensure that the load brake is operating as designed.

d. Loss of Power Test: Raise the test load approximately 3 feet and while lowering test load at low speed, cut main power to hoist. The load must stop.

e. Trolley Test: With test load hoisted to a height of one foot above the floor, operate trolley the full distance of the composite beam in both directions. Observe for any malfunctioning of the trolley assembly.

3.2.7 Rated Load Speed Test

With the hoist loaded to rated capacity, raise and lower the load verifying that the hoisting and lowering speeds are provided as specified. With the hoist loaded to rated capacity, operate trolley along the beam verifying that the trolley speed is provided as specified. Further, verify that the trolley stops in each direction within a distance (in feet) equal to 10 percent of rated capacity high speed (in feet per minute) when initially traveling at high speed and carrying the rated capacity load. Record voltage, amperage, hoisting and lowering speeds, and motor speed for each motor.

SECTION 41 22 23.26 Page 11

Limit Switches

Test all limit switches to determine that they function and that all associated functions occur in accordance with specifications.

Hoist Upper Geared Limit Switch (Primary)

Raise the hoist. Slowly raise the hoist into the upper-geared limit switch and verify that the hoist stops after the limit switch is tripped and the hook is only capable of lowering. Ensure that the runout distance at full speed is greater than the distance to the weighted upper limit by gradually increasing hoist control lever travel to achieve full hoist speed and verify that the weighted limit is not tripped when the geared limit is engaged at this "full speed." If the hoist is equipped with a slow down function, verify that the hoist speed decreases to 25% (+/- 10%) of the full rated speed before entering the primary limit switch.

A. Dynamic Load Test.

Record the actual weight of the certified weight, including rigging gear that will be used:_______ Lbs.

1. Trolley loss of power test

Raise the test load approximately midway between the trolley and any permanent obstructions on the operating floor. Starting at a safe distance from walls or other obstructions, attain a slow speed of trolley travel.

While maintaining a safe distance from obstructions, disconnect the main power source to simulate a power failure. Restart trolley travel and allow the drive to reach an intermediate speed. Repeat the simulated power failure. Restart trolley travel and allow the drive to reach maximum operating speed. Repeat the simulated power failure. Verify that the trolley stops and that the brake sets properly at all speeds.

2. Hoist loss of power test at rated load

Raise the test load a minimal distance. Lower the test load at slow speed. Disconnect the main power source and return the controller to the neutral position to simulate a power failure. Restart hoist in a downward direction and allow the drive to reach an intermediate speed. Repeat the simulated power failure. Restart hoist in a downward direction and allow the drive to reach maximum operating speed. Repeat the simulated power failure. Verify that the hoist stops and that the brake sets properly to bring the test load to a stop at all speeds.
