  • Hand Book on Restoration by 140T Break Down Crane\2

    Preface

    During CMEs conference held in April-2013, various Railways were assigned the work of preparation of procedures for handling rescue, Relief and restoration at Accident sites. The Railways have submitted their draft procedures on 12.03.2015 at Railway Board for preparation of Hand Book on Rescue and Restoration work by CAMTECH/GWL.

    The draft hand book is prepared on the subject matter for assistance to

    Rescue and Restoration staff ARTs/ARMEs on IR. The sample pattern is provide for each type of activities to be carried out at accident sites. Factually, there are various types of rolling stocks are running over Indian Railways. Each stock is having its own class specific to –

    a) Dimension (Length, Width & Height) b) Tare weight and capacity c) Coupling arrangement of the vehicles d) Load bearing member in respect to tackling with the help of crane

    etc.

    So, different methods of tackling by 140 Ton break Down Cranes would be required for different stocks and in different situations and it may not be possible to anticipate every condition thrown upon by the actual accidents/working sites and delineate the exact method of handling. Hence, in following paragraphs a humble effort has been made to cover this to the extent possible with the inputs from crane in-charges on the basis of actual site experiences. Each accident site presents unique condition in itself and hence common sense must be applied apart from the proven methods of handling the stock ensuring safety to the human being and to the crane as well as salvaging rolling stock to the extent possible.

    A brief about preparation of the crane at the shed before leaving for accident site, arrangements to be made after reaching the site and also things to ensure before departure after restoration work has also been included for the benefit of the crane users.

    As of now, primarily two makes of 140 T. cranes operating over Indian Railways viz. Gottwald and Cowans Sheldon, each having their own variants also. Users are advised to check the applicability of the given instructions in regard to their model of the crane. In the following heads, stock wise procedure has been given incorporating the guidelines specific to that stock for assistance in Restoration work of various rolling stocks.

    Safety Precautions for Crane Operators

    To understand the 140 T cranes and to operate the cranes efficiently and safely, the

    operating personnel should follow the operating and maintenance manual supplied along

    with the cranes. Some salient features (also included in the manuals) which if followed,

    will ensure safety during operation are highlighted below:

    1. Before raising the jib from match wagon, all blocking screws must be screwed down until they are locked on the top of the spring or by Hydraulic Axle blocking.

    2. Both the relieving bogies must be unloaded prior to raising the jib from match wagon.

    3. Before any movement of crane on its own power, operator must ensure proper engagement of travel clutch and braking of travel brake.

    4. In the operating area, the operator should assess the cant with the jib in line with the track. If cant exceeds 13 mm, the crane should be levelled by using props

    before load lifting because this crane in free on rail condition is suitable only with

    counter weight on carriage. In this condition, there will be clearance in the side

    bearers.

    5. The operator must be thoroughly acquainted with the load charts provided in the crane to assess the duty selection.

    6. Special care is to be taken during propping of jacks. Packing below foot steps / Propping chairs should be adequate and placed alternately, perpendicular and

    parallel to the track, to give maximum load distribution. After applying jacks,

    packing should be checked. The load should be lifted slowly just above the

    ground and held there. Packing should be checked again to see if there is any

    sinking of Propp.

    7. If the crane is to be moved to another position, then the draw beam jacks should be raised, the foot steps / Propping chairs removed, the draw beam retracted and

    locked in position before any movement.

    8. Before any slew motion, slew lock pin must be removed.

    9. Before undertaking any lifting operation, the operator must be sure that the duty selector of SLI is correctly set according to the configuration of the crane (i.e. free

    on rail, or blocked, counter weight on super structure or carriage, heavy ballast

    fitted etc.)

    10. Extreme caution should be taken while working in super elevated track in free on rail condition with counter weight or heavy ballast fitted to superstructure.

  • Hand Book on Restoration by 140T Break Down Crane\21

    11. During fitting of heavy duty ballast to the superstructure, heavy ballast must be raised fully, superstructure must brought in line with the track before introducing

    ballast arm in to the heavy ballast, and locating pins must be engaged in the

    support beam.

    12. Swinging load is dangerous and should be avoided.

    13. Emergency lower button should be operated only in case of emergency and the operation should not be part of the normal working cycle.

    14. During coupling of the relieving bogies with the crane, the operator should move the crane close to the beam and the height and position of the beam should be

    adjusted in such a way so that the base of the beam is in line with the carriage end

    castings. This will prevent damage of the castings.

    15. It is always better to lift the load from match truck end, if the derailment on the same track. Because in this case the operator has to lift the match truck and

    relieving bogie clear of the track. On the ballast wagon side the operator has to

    remove the heavy ballast first, then the ballast wagon and one relieving bogie.

    For removing either ballast wagon or match truck, lifting beam need not to be

    used. The 30 Te. Double legged sling of 7 M long can be used with main hook for

    this operation.

    16. To reduce timing, operating personal should practice the operation in idle time.

    Some operations may be combined to reduce timing i.e. while carrying out

    blocking out operations of screws, ‘A’ frame should be raised thus saving the

    time. Lifting of relieving bogies/ match truck / ballast wagon should be as

    minimum as possible above the rail level, before slewing.

    17. Since the maximum instantaneous load on an individual prop that may arise with the crane being loaded to its capacity is around 150 Te., it is essential to prepare

    the packing on the ground, using sleeper over wide area in order to prevent sink

    age of props. In order to reduce time taken in restoration, it is advisable to take

    the help of permanent way staff in levelling the ground and in building up of the

    base for props.

    18. Please remember that when you travel on own power with load on hook the axle load on track is much higher than normal. Depute a person to check track for

    sinkage and gauge during travel. Insist on PWI to give good attention to track

    where necessary.

    19. Before travelling the crane on own power, check the brake power. Apply brakes, engage travel clutch and push the travel joystick for a short time to “Full”

    position. If brakes are able to hold the crane, then the brake power is okay.

    IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR BREAK DOWN STAFF Following instructions must be followed by break down Incharges, Supervisors and staff while working at accident sites:- 01. After reaching at accident site, observation of site and damaged

    wagons/coaches to be carried out to ensure safe and efficient restoration. 02. Crane driver as well as staff should be advised regarding lifting load and

    operational activities, explaining situation of spot. 03. Necessary equipments, tools, wooden packings etc. should be unloaded

    from ART without wasting time and be sent the same to the accident spot. 04. Before energizing 140 Te Crane on electrified section for operations,

    ensure that OHE has been made dead /slewed and secured and power block has been taken with provision of written memo.

    05. Suitable and sufficient space to be created for propping and choose the

    wooden packings of required sizes, so that strong and sound propping can be ensured. i.e effective propping base must be created.

    06. Lifting load must be assessed properly in accordance with the Crane

    configuration & working radius. 07. Always take care of cant/super elevation while lifting the load. 08. Ensure that SLI is in working order (SLI bypass should be avoided) 09. Ensure availability and understanding of load charts. 10. Rail clamp must be used as and when required. 11. Always utilize suitable capacity chain sling and wire rope slings and insert

    hooks only at suitable places on the wagons/coaches during lifting. 12. While lifting the load, close watch to be kept on crane wheels and the

    same to be communicated through megaphones continuously for analyzing & observing the situation.

    13. Proper work distribution among staff and supervisors to be ensured at site

    to avoid contradiction. 14. Extreme care to be taken while removing and lifting entangled load.

    Safety of the staff to be kept in mind during such operations.

  • Hand Book on Restoration by 140T Break Down Crane\23

    15. The load should be lifted slowly just above the ground level and held

    there because swinging load is dangerous and should be avoided. 16. Utilize wire ropes / chain slings in such a manner, that they can be

    removed successfully from object after lifting and placing at suitable place. 17. While slewing the crane 360 with lifted load, keep close watch and all the

    precautions to be taken for safety of the crane. 18. If the adjacent track is given safe for traffic, safety of staff must be

    ensured from running trains by communicating arrival of trains on megaphone. Always keep Red flag/Red lamp for emergency.

    19. If TSL is introduced at site for passing of trains, extreme care / vigil is

    required especially infringements of crane, load, operating personnel w.r.t. working line must be checked. At the time of train movement from adjacent line, the crane working must be paused.

    20. After assessing the accident site, Multiple propping base should be prepared

    in advance or simultaneously with the help of P-Way staff, this will reduce overall restoration time.

    21. When the crane is ready In-Train formation, following points to be

    ensured – - Axle blocking to be removed - Travelling gear to be disengaged - Parking brake to be removed - Slewing lock to be applied - Boom to be locked on trestle.

    22. Also before leaving the accident site, it should be ensured that material from Crane unit is not left behind.

    POINTS TO BE KEPT IN MIND BY DIVISIONS FOR ACCIDENT MANAGEMENT

    (Ref: Addl.M(M)’s letter No.99/M(M&P)/7/6 Dated 11.8.1999)

    The following points may be kept in mind by the Divisions for Accident Management:- A. For accidents involving Passenger trains, the BD cranes and MFDs in either direction in

    the vicinity of the site must immediately be ordered by the Control as a routine.

    B. In case of Goods train accidents involving mainline, the following procedure should be followed:-

    Movement of 140 Te BD cranes must have the approval of CMPE(D)/HQ who is overall incharge of the management of ARTs, and in his absence any Mechanical Officer in Headquarters. In rare cases, where both lines are affected and when delays in contacting Headquarters are envisaged, cranes may be ordered by Division, but this should only be an exception.

    Movement of MFDs can be ordered by the Divisional Mechanical officers as desired by DRMs.

    C. Incase of accidents in Yard not affecting through movement, the

    derailment may be tackled using ramps to the extent possible and MFD/Crane ordered only if the derailment CAN NOT be tackled by Jacks(HRE). This decision may be taken by the Divisional officers at their discretion depending upon the information available from site.

    D. ARTs should be turned out within the target time of 30 minutes by day

    and 45 minutes during night. ARMV should be turned out within 20 minutes from double entry siding and 25 minutes from single entry siding during both day and night (zonal railways may decide target time).

    E. Movement of ARTs to the accident spots should be given top priority and

    should not be stopped enroute. It is the responsibility of the Controlling DRM and his Officers that no slackness is allowed in this regard.

    F. ARTs should be moved to the base Depot as soon as the restoration work

    is over. G. For a minor derailment involving a few wagons, as far as possible MFDs

    should only be deployed leaving the crane at the base station in readiness to attend major accidents.

    H. Wherever road approach is available, attempt should be made to take the

    MFD equipment by road through lorry and for this purpose, departmental

  • Hand Book on Restoration by 140T Break Down Crane\25

    lorry should be earmarked. Wherever department lorries are not available to move the MFD/HRE, private lorries may be invariably hired.

    I. Wherever MFD/HRE is required to serve both BG and MG territory,

    arrangement for moving MFD/HRE by Truck / lorry is a must. J. Mock trials of ART should be done earnestly as prescribed to test the

    efficacy and correct any deficiency in the system. K. Whenever assistance of additional BD crane/MFD is required from

    neighbouring division or adjacent Railways. CMPE or any other HOD of the Mechanical Department will do the necessary liaison.

    9. Precautions to be taken during 140 t. Crane Operation

    (Gottwald New Design)

    Before raising the Jib from Match-truck Axle Blocking operation must be done.

    After lifting rear superstructure Gallows must be locked with main superstructure of Crane.

    Uncouple Match-truck from crane (Screw-coupling as well as air brake hoses). Match-truck should be secured by the hand brake.

    Before any movement of crane by its own power, operator must insure that travel gear has engaged & crane brakes in operational condition.

    The crane should me made stable before carrying out further operations, according to position / Propping base either firm propping of crane (6 Mtr./ 5 Mtr. / 2.9 Mtr.) should be done or rail clamping must be carried out in case of free on rail operations.

    Apply Parking brakes for maintaining rigidity of the crane.

    Before lifting Jib it must be ensured that the crane is on straight track.

    In operating area the operator as well as loading person should assess the track deviations of cants with jib in line with the track. Crane should be levelled by using outriggers(Propps).

    The operator must be thoroughly acquainted with the load chart provided in the crane to assess the S.L.I. selection.

    Special care to be taken during propping of jacks when the crane is to work on site. Proper Packing should be placed below Propp chair. For uniform load distribution Packing should be alternately perpendicular & parallel to the track. Packing should be checked for any sinking

    The propping operation should be carried out until the wheel has just left the rail, There should be absolute no gap between in-rigger and out-rigger.

    The load should properly secured and it should be lifted slowly just above the ground and hold it there. Propping should checked again for sinking.

    If the crane is to be moved to another position, the propps should be raised outrigger should be retracted.

    This crane is unsuitable on super-elevated track in free on rail operation with counterweight operation.

    Swinging load is dangerous and should be avoided.
