Gleason Reel Steel Track Festoon System for Round Cable/Hose Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant and I've reviewed this installation instructions for the Gleason Reel Corp. festoon system. This document details the setup of a steel track festoon system for round cables and hoses. It covers essential aspects such as mounting the system, joining track sections, and installing the cable and trolleys. I'm ready to assist you with any questions you might have about the installation process or the components mentioned in the document.
  • What is the maximum spacing between cross arms?
    What should be used to join festoon track sections?
    What should be parallel to crane track?
    Where is the fixed cable clamp placed?
    What is the purpose of the tow arm?

INSTALLATION
1. Clamp cross arms to supporting I-beam. Spacing between arms must not exceed 6’ (1.8m) on center. Securely tighten clamps.
2. Hang festoon rail sections from bottom of arms using anchor brackets (one each end of system) and track brackets. Use track
splices to join track sections. NOTE: Raised lance in track mates with notch of splice.
3. Carefully level and align track. Festoon track must be parallel to crane track. Shim or adjust cross arms as required. Securely
tighten all set screws on anchor brackets and splice brackets.
4. Insert end stop into end of track opposite cable xing end. Clamp tightly in place.
5. Insert tow trolley into cable xing end of track followed by intermediate trolleys. (See illustration above).
6. Insert xed cable clamp into track with stop angle on clamping bar facing in. Securely tighten in place.
7. Install cable or hose. Number of trolleys in kit assumes 3’ loop depth (measured cable saddles to bottom of loops) when trolleys are
pushed together. NOTE: Check to make sure saddles are correct size for cable/hose to be installed. See Components, over.
8. Insert tow arm through opening in tow trolley and bolt or weld tow arm to crane. Tow arm must be centered within opening and
perpendicular to festoon rail.
