How to Remove a Grabber Crane Gantry Rail

Posted

If you operate amusement arcade crane grabber machines, it is quite likely that you will need to remove the crane gantry rail or replace it during the year.

These are the simple steps on how to undertake this operation: 

 

  • To remove the gantry rails from the crane, firstly unplug the loom at the end of the rail.
  • Next, loosen the wing nuts at the end of the rail, then lift the rail and twist to an angle so that you can drop it down and take it out of the machine.
  • To replace the gantry, we reverse the process.
  • Firstly, put the rails back in at an angle and then twist to place rails on the metal ledge.
  • Tighten up the wing nuts and plug the loom back in.

 Our video below will demonstrate the steps required.
