Abstract
A crane system having a gas turbine that has a manhole on the outer housing thereof, the manhole being designed to open up a maintenance access to hot gas parts of the gas turbine in the open state of the manhole, which is provided with a fastening section; the crane system further has a hoisting mechanism that includes a mating fastening section which is connected to the fastening section of the manhole in such a way that the hoisting mechanism introduces weights that same has to lift into the outer housing of the gas turbine.
Claims9
A crane system comprising:
- a gas turbine which has a manhole on its outer housing, said manhole being designed to open up a maintenance access point to hot gas parts of the gas turbine when opened, wherein the manhole has a fastening section, and
- a lifting mechanism which has a mating fastening section that is connected to the fastening section of the manhole in such a way that the lifting mechanism introduces weight forces to be lifted by said mechanism into the outer housing of the gas turbine.
