4 DELIVERY AND ERECTION
As standard the crane will be delivered and erected on site. Should site or project
require a fully-assembled delivery this can be arranged on request.
Erection, electrical installation and commissioning of the crane will be done by

KOCKS KRANE GMBH or their sub-contractor.
Pre-conditions for an on-site delivery are as follows:
- erection area shall be available approx. two weeks before erection of the crane
- delivery of the crane sections can be made to the site by sea-going vessels, rail,
and road without reloading
- an adequately sized erection site is levelled and hard surfaced
- good access to the site for heavy mobile cranes is provided
- crane track is already laid out
- erection of the crane can be made continuously
- the required certified test weights will be at our disposal free of charge
- erection site plus offices, workshop and mess facilities connected to necessary
services will be at our disposal free of charge
- minimum area for erection must be approx. 100 m x 120 m
- area must be safe and secure
Delivery of fully erect crane (optional)
A Roll On-Roll Off process of the full erected crane will be done using two multi mover
trucks (each below one of the sillbeams) direct onto the pontoon / vessel. It is also
possible to move the crane on rails onto the pontoon / vessel if preferred utilising the
slewable bogies.
To achieve the loading/unloading the pontoon must able to ballast to the same level
as the quay. This procedure will be achieved using the trim function of the pontoon
and under the control of the supervision staff and a surveyor. After the successful
Roll On process the crane will be sea fastened with internal additional supports and
fastening steel tubes to the pontoon.
After the successful sea fastening the crane will be checked by an independent
authority such as Germanischer Lloyd, De Noske Veritas or similar.
The pontoon with the crane will be moved to the final port.
On arrival at the destination berth the crane will be unloaded in reverse of the loading
method. We will need 2-3 days before the crane can be moved onto the berth, due to
the removal and dismantling of the sea fastening.
