Two externally mounted jib cranes were installed on the ARIEL hot cell - one on the West side above the tool port, and one on the North side above the tool port. These cranes are supplied by AC DC Cranes (see attached quote for info). They are 250 kg WLL, 2 m span, powered hoist, manual pivot. They were mounted using M24x3 x 50mm bolts.

Engineering analysis and BC P Eng sign off for the design of these cranes has been handled by ROBATEL Industries as part of the ARIEL hot cell contract. TRIUMF scope of work included procurement and installation of the cranes.

At the time of writing this e-log, the cranes have not been powered and therefore have not been tested. They are not considered commissioned and operational at this point and must not be used. Facility coordinators have been informed.

Future work (to be done by A. Newsome): coordinate electrical services to supply power to the cranes, perform initial functionality and load testing, add cranes to calibration/inspection index, and include the logbook and list of qualified operators down in the hot cell area.
