Description

Liebherr CBW 45(40)/24,3(27) Cargo Deck Crane Operation Manual – Volume 1

This is the complete Volume 1 Operation Manual issued for the Liebherr CBW 45(40)/24,3(27) standard cargo deck crane, released under crane serial number 162 392, version 001. The document runs 130 pages and was compiled by Liebherr-Werk Nenzing GmbH in Austria; the crane itself was designed by Liebherr-Werk Nenzing and manufactured at Liebherr-Sunderland Works in England. Everything an operator, deck supervisor, or maintenance technician needs for day-to-day start-up, safe load handling, emergency recovery, and scheduled servicing of this 45-tonne SWL electro-hydraulic deck crane sits inside this one volume.

The CBW is a fixed shipboard cargo crane built for river and sea vessels, timber carriers, reefer ships, and multi-purpose vessels handling general cargo, break bulk, containers, pallets, and project freight. This Liebherr CBW 45(40)/24,3(27) cargo deck crane operation manual is the reference document that ships with the machine, and it is written around the actual configuration of serial 162 392 – not a generic crane guide.

Volume 1 is the operating manual proper. Volume 2 (Technical Information) and Volume 3 (Spare Parts Catalogue) are separate documents, so this PDF is deliberately focused on operation, safety, and the maintenance tasks the crane operator or ship’s crew may perform themselves.

Read end to end, the Liebherr CBW 45(40)/24,3(27) cargo deck crane operation manual walks a technician through the machine in the same order the crane is actually used: what the crane is and how it is arranged, the safety framework around it, the controls in the cabin, the daily start-up and shutdown routine, what to do when hydraulics or power fail, and finally the complete maintenance schedule with greasing and oil-filling schematics.

What the Operator’s Manual Covers

The product description chapter breaks the crane into its four main assemblies – slewing column, base column, operator’s cabin and boom – and then details the slew gearboxes, machinery room, power pack, and boom head individually. The technical data section supplies the working range, permissible capacities and speeds, electric power supply figures, component weights, and the 4-fall load diagram. The load diagram shows 45 t SWL available from the 2.8 m minimum radius out to 24.3 m, stepping down to 40 t at the 27 m maximum radius.

The safety chapter is unusually thorough for a crane manual of this age. It covers the meaning of every danger symbol, prohibition sign, warning sign, command sign and fire-protection sign used on the machine, the personal protective gear required for each task, the physical and mental requirements placed on the crane operator, machine-specific dangers from mechanical parts, stored hydraulic energy, hot surfaces, fire and explosion, and additional risks from wind and storm, snow and ice loading, and lightning strikes. The full Beaufort wind force table with inland effects is reproduced so the operator can judge when to lay the boom down in park position – 20 m/s being the hard cutoff.

Chapter 4 documents the control stand in detail: the combined spring-centred control levers, the right-hand lever for hook lifting and lowering, the left-hand lever for boom luffing and crane slewing, plus the horn push button. The X20 control panel is reproduced with every pilot light, push button and key switch labelled – main motor fault, niveau/temperature fault, circuit breaker tripped, crane on, motor on, motor off, emergency stop, cabin lighting, crane lighting, floodlight, screen wiper, hook parking, sector bypass and the start request crane button for the passive power management system.

Start-Up, Shutdown and Emergency Procedures

Chapter 5 is the working heart of the Liebherr CBW 45(40)/24,3(27) cargo deck crane operation manual. It lists the daily inspection tour, the checks required before start-up, the exact sequence for switching on the main switch at the switch cabinet, opening the hydraulic hand valve, turning the crane control key switch, pressing the start request button and starting the main motor. It then explains how to move the hook out of the hook garage using the parking key switch and bypass switch, how much clearance to leave, and how to lower the boom into the working radius. Shutdown for a work break, full shutdown to seagoing condition, and long standstill preservation rules for periods over four weeks or three months are all covered.

Chapter 6 deals with emergency operation at total crane standstill, when the spring-loaded multiple disc brakes are closed with no hydraulic pressure. It identifies the location of every emergency valve – H62, H62A, H63 at the hoisting winch and hoisting motor, H62B at the hydraulic tank, D62 and D63 at the slewing gears, E69 and E60 for the boom – and gives step-by-step procedures to lower a suspended load, release the slewing brakes, and lower the boom using the emergency hand pump. The hand pump layout, its 15 bar minimum brake release pressure, and the oil level check via dipstick are all documented.

Maintenance and Condition Monitoring

The maintenance chapter is the longest in the book. It opens with the general maintenance interval table running from 10 hours daily through 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 hours or yearly, then breaks out separate schedules for the greasing system, hydraulic system, slewing gearboxes and slewing bearing, and hoisting winch. A greasing schematic identifies the slewing bearing rim, slew gears, hoist winch counter bearing, ropes, and the central greasing point for rope pulleys, with recommended grease qualities. An oil filling schematic gives the hoist winch gearbox at 6 l of API GL-5 SAE 90/80W90, the hydraulic oil tank at 1050 l of ATF or similar, and each of the three slewing gearboxes at 11.2 l.

Individual sections then cover the electric motor (including the ABB M3BP 315 SMB 4 B3 rating plate and lubrication plate, grease quantities and regreasing intervals), slewing and hoisting gearboxes with oil level and oil change procedure, the multiple disc brakes and why their disc and spring arrangement must never be altered, crane rope selection and installation, rope pulley storage and inspection, hydraulic lines and hoses including the six-year hose service life rule, the hydraulic oil tank and its return flow filter, Liebherr Condition Monitoring with oil sampling technique and the spectroscopic metal analysis table, pressure accumulators, oil cooler cleaning, the electrical system, the slip ring unit, and the air conditioning system.

Why This Manual Matters

A 45-tonne deck crane operating at 27 m radius is not equipment you run on instinct. The permissible capacities change with radius, the boom has a defined park position for high winds, the hook garage has a specific parking sequence, and the emergency lowering procedure requires the correct valve to be opened in the correct order. Getting any of those wrong risks the load, the crane, and the crew. This Liebherr CBW 45(40)/24,3(27) operation manual gives the operator the actual load diagram, the actual limit values, and the actual step-by-step sequences for this exact machine rather than a generic approximation.

For the maintenance side, the manual supplies the interval tables, lubricant specifications, filling quantities, filter replacement procedures, rope discard criteria with illustrations, and oil sampling method needed to keep the crane in serviceable condition between visits from Liebherr service personnel. For a ship’s technical department running a CBW deck crane on a multi-purpose vessel, that means fewer unplanned stoppages and a clear basis for deciding what can be handled in-house and what must be referred to the manufacturer.
